This has worked for me over several decades (in fact it worked only last week)... I simply smile and say "I never buy anything at the door and that includes religion." They usually say "Oh" - and go!

Someone I know told them she was a high priestess of voodoo, when they launched into their eternal damnation lecture, she just waggled her fingers at them and said some made up words. Then she politelitely said 'hope you didn't want to have children in the future!'. They left pretty sharpish.

It is really easy to wind them up and watch them go. 2 that came to my house asked didn't I want to KNOW what the future held, that I would be 'saved'. i told them I already new the future and if they just give me 2 minutes I would get my tarot cards and tell them theirs. They spent the next 10 minutes ranting about the devil and such before I saidexcuse me but it was time for me to start my seance and shut the door.

I tell them I have my own beliefs and, as I respect them and theirs, they should respect mine. If that doesn't work, tell them you're really sorry, but when they called, you were actually in the middle of a ritual sacrifice in the dining room and you're worried the black goat will get free and wander off into the garden. This has actually worked for me the last time they called. I used to get a visit at least once a month, I haven't seen them for nearly nine months now. Good luck.

For a start I don't think these people are frauds as one of the answers has said. I think loads of them are genuine people who have been duped by an organisation who has put themselves in the place of God by saying they have the knosos. What ever you do keep in mind that the people coming to your door are doing this out of fear or out of a real wish for others to share in their knowledge.

We must also remember that JWs are not Christians as they do not believe that Jesus is the son part of the God head. And that the organisation who run them have lied to their followers over the years and then called the excuses to these lies NEW LIGHT.

John 1:1

This verse has three clauses. They claim that because the subject in the third clause lacks the article that it's not referring to "the God", but "a god".

You want to refer them to the first clause in that verse. It's the same construction. Does it refer to "a beginning" because it lacks the verb? Obviously not.

It's called Caldwell's rule. Boiled down, it says that an anarthrous noun appearing prior to the main verb is always given the full force of the article.

I love it when Jehovah's nitwits come to my door. I ask them to wait until I get my Bible, then I grab my Greek New Testament and let them ramble on for a while. After they have enough rope, I tell them that my Bible doesn't say what theirs does. They ALWAYS say that their Bibles are superior to mine because THEY have the Greek above the English (they have interlinears). I turn my Bible around and let them see that mine is ALL Greek. Then I ask them to show me in my Bible what they've been telling me.

They never can because NONE of them know Greek, none of them have ever studied Greek. There has never been a single Greek scholar in their entire organization!

They're all frauds.

Try and convert them to some other religion. Its fun if you make it up on the spot; they're wasting your time so why not waste theirs?.

Actually; has anyone been converted into a JW by one of their door knocking sessions?

None ever knock on my door, but, when I visited Mom, some came to her door. She is ill, so I answered the door. I told them to leave or I'd throw them out and then charge them with trespassing. I am a 355 pound powerlifter-martial artist, so they fled quickly. One's pants were wet.

1.Pretend not to be in.
2. Tell them you want to share your religion with them-it involves making a casserole of your sofa and sacrificing lemmings to the big pink pixie in the sky.
3. Tell them you're offering a special on home blood transfusions and would they like one.
4. Paint yourself blue, put a red hat on, and have the Smurfs theme playing very loudly. Apparently they are quite superstitious about Smurfs.

Aww, the ones I've met are pretty harmless but you could invite them in and bring out the ol' holiday albums and explain EVERYthing in EVERY picture. This gets rid of most people esp if the holiday pics ARE boring!
But seriously, be polite and tell them you're not interested.

The thing about Jehovah's Witnesses is that instead of just coming right out and telling you what they think and why they think it, they instead bombard you with questions to force you to come to the same conclusions. So what you should say is, "Listen, you guys came to MY door because you have a point of view you want to get across to me. So why don't you just tell me your point of view and why I should believe it and let ME ask the questions?"
