What do you think about Jehovah's Witnesses, How do I get rid of them?

Question

I've tried being nice and just saying I have my own religion, but they just go at it harder!HELP MEEEE! I'm done being nice.

Answer 1

At times, a question such as this will elicit dozens and dozens of elaborate schemes to spare a householder an unwanted conversation with Jehovah's Witness door-to-door ministers.

All such schemes are a complete and utter waste of time!

Many of your neighbors have figured it out, and it's really quite simple:
1. Open the door
2. Smile (optional)
3. Ask "Jehovah's Witness?"
4. Receive affirmation
5. Say, "Thank you, but I'm not interested"
6. Gently close the door (slamming is rude, but your prerogative)

Please recognize that Jehovah's Witnesses are not primarily interested in converts, but in working to obey Jesus' command to preach (Matt 24:14; Matt 28:19,20).

Answer 2

Hey just take a chill pill!!! You know I grew being one but I'm not now so I don't think they are bad. They just believe in what they do passionately. Just like I'm sure and hope that you are in your religion. They should not be forcing what they believe on you because we all have freedom of choice. If you do not want them coming to your house just simply tell them and they should not come back to your house anymore. By the way the only thing you should be worrying about is living a life that is pleasing to God and that goes for myself as well. Because we are all undergoing an open book exam. What I mean is the anwsers are in God's word the bible. In the end if we dont make it it is nobody's fault but are own!!! I hope this helps you.

Answer 3

There are a couple of ways actually. Three that I've seen work.

1. If you live on a farm this one works well. As everyone knows your never done working on a farm. Tell them that they are free to talk to you all they want if they are willing to roll up their sleeves and help you weed the garden, clean the chicken coup etc.

2. If You live in a place were you can have a huge dog train your dog to meet everyone at the gate and to gently take the guests hand in its mouth and escort them to the front door. The look on their face is so funny. They turn all interesting shades of white. My big dog was a huge great dane. poor dog was scared if you shook a napkin at it but they did not have to know that.

3. Be extremely well versed in what you believe and invite them in. Offer them a snack and a beverage. Usually they will only drink water then open your bible and start to evangilize them.

Since I no longer have a big dog or live on a farm option 3 is the only one I have left and it works very well.

Answer 4

I was nice the first two times they showed up on my door. They are very pushy and overly nice so you feel guilty about kicking them out but the last time I didn't let them in and I just yelled, No! No way am I joining your religion!" What else could I do, they NEVER take no for an answer. More proof of the brainwashing that goes on in religions.

Answer 5

The best way to learn what to do to stop JWs is to contact a synagogue and talk to the Rabbi.

Ask him how the ancient Jews got rid of the Christian Jews when they went from house to house telling their brethren that the beliefs, rituals, and holiday observances that they have followed for hundreds of years was no longer valid?

I’m sure they had ways to get rid of the Jews, who from their point of view, was a cult started by a Uneducated, Jewish Lower Class Carpenter, who was executed for cause by the governing authority. The only education he got was from his low class parents, Mary and Joseph. These followers were also uneducated Jewish lower class individuals, such as Peter, a failed fisherman, and Matthew, a hated tax collector.

Lacking any kind of education, let alone advance religious education, it was clear they were easily brainwashed into believing that the uneducated ex-carpenter was somehow the Messiah, which was clearly false as it was commonly known that when the Messiah came, he would destroy (Armageddon) the enemies of the true people of God, as foretold.

Saul of Tarsus, a highly educated individual in the religious arts, repeatedly proved they were a false religious sect and cult, creating their own scriptures (Bible) instead of relying on the Holy Torah, which had been used by the Jews for hundreds of years. Saul often stood by as the true believers of God stoned these so-called Christians for their door to door activities and spreading of false doctrine.

Now, I would not recommend stoning, but they may have had other methods that worked to stop the house to house work and the spreading of false doctrine . What worked for them against the Christian cult may work against the JWs. At least you will be in good company in doing so.

Or

Just call the Kingdom Hall and ask that your address be put on the back of territory card listing of no call addresses. At this point, they check back only every six months.

Of course, you already knew that, you just wanted to collect a bunch of anti-JW comments from people, like the sexual deviants who say to answer the door naked. I don't know about Canada, but in the U.S., if a neighbor's child were to see that, you would be looking at a sex offense change, with automatic registry, whether found guilty or not.

Answer 6

Tell them you are poor and will never be able to afford giving money to their church.

Hang a pentagram on your frontdoor like a chistmas reef.

When they knock on your door run out the back and pelt them with water ballons filled with red dye and scream demons of satan.

Put an electric charge on your door knob and when they knock tell them just come in, that one is funny.

Hang a sing Jehovah's witnesses will burn in hell.

Answer the door with a gun and poke your head out a look around fast them pull them in and say "HURRY their watching". Ask them you've come to save me? When they say yes cock the gun and ask Whats the plan? Then once they start preaching tell them "SHHH lets go" and run them into the bathroom and make them get into the bathtub. After about 5 minutes in the bathe tub tell them "it's safe hurry we need to leave" and once they get outside slam the door.

Answer 7

I had the same problem about a year ago I was just trying to be nice it got so bad I was hiding and not answering the door when they can by one day they came when my husband was home and he is 6'8 and very intimidating he just told them we are not of that religion don't come here any more and they didn't you may have to be firm and flat out tell them not to come to your house anymore are get a big dog lol.

Answer 8

Many of the points of Jehovah's witnesses are bogus. Just argue with them for five minutes and disprove their religion based on your, they will get mad and walk away. That is what I did over 5 years ago and haven't had one since. Let them start and than just interrupt them with the truth that your religion preaches. If that doesn't work than just don't open the door.

Answer 9

Explain that there was no "J" until about 1400 AD. therefore YHVH cannot have "J" in it. they printed a "bible" about 100 years ago with a forward which admitted that fact, but recalled them and destroyed them. There are a number of tracts which outline the errors of the "Witnesses". I am sure you could find one at your nearest Seventh Day Adventist "church". "The Blue Gums" Is the name of one. "Gods Channel of Truth" is another. They deny the divinity of the Savior YAHOSHUA. To be a completely adequate Sacrifice (Pilot said he found no fault in Him) He needed to be divine. Humanity owes its own obedience, and cannot be a sacrifice for others.

Answer 10

Yeah, I saw a sticker on CafePress, I think it was, with silohettes of Jehovas Witnesses in a big red circle with a red through it for your door, It was pretty funny. You could try that, if they still bother you, either say "No thank you" and close the door, or say "I'm Catholic" and close the door. Good luck!
