some jw's just came to my door?

Question

and when i answered, and politely told them i wans't interested they asked if they could please speak to my parents instead.

i love it when people think i'm 15. it's especially funny if you answer the door smoking a cigarette.

anyway, this will probably get deleted because it's not a question, so, uhm, what funny things have happened when jw's came to your door (not mean crap please)

btw-i'm 22, but i do look about 15.

laptop: awww, you're a lot nicer than i am. well, i'm generally nice unless they get pushy.

sarah: i'd love to hear them :)

Answer 1

You should have said, "Just a minute." Then you should have gone upstairs and relaxed, leaving them waiting and waiting and waiting for your parents until they finally left.

Answer 2

I'm 22 too, and people are always thinking I'm younger than I am. XD

Hmm, I don't really have any experience with JW.. But there was a guy who used to walk around my hometown and preach that you need to be baptized in order to be saved. To this day I'm not sure I agree with him. While I do agree it's a commandment given in the Bible, I think it's more of a heart issue than just being dunked in water. Of course, a heart that is right with God will obey his command to be baptized.. It's kind of a circle isn't it? But anyway the point is we kids always used to pick on him and give him a rough time, but now I really respect what he did. He put his own reputation on the line and became the "town idiot" because he genuinely believed in God and put God first in his life. Might sound crazy, but I admire him for that, and no one else in that town left a more positive impression on me.

Answer 3

As much as I fantasize about being rude or messing with their heads, I can never bring myself to do it. I usually just smile, say, "No thank you" and close the door.

Once when I opened the door the woman extended her hand to shake, and my hand automatically went up - but mid-motion I spotted the Bible in her other hand, and my hand-reach turned smoothly instead into a finger pointing at the book and I said simply, "H- ...No. Have a nice day." And again closed the door without waiting for a response.

Answer 4

One came to my door earlier today too! I think it's their conference time. Lucikly my dog went off so she wasn't in the mood to do anything but thrust a pamphlet at me.

I have a little game I play with ANY door to door people. I try to give them something every time. I don't buy anything, ever. But I try to give them...anything. Things I have given: gloves, an umbrella, perrier, pizza, soup, a book.

The JW's got the gloves (she was a very old lady and her hands looked cold). I have no freaking idea why I do this. I think its because so few people are kind to door to door people. I think that would be a miserable thing to do, so a little kindness might be something to brighten their day and it doesn't cost me much. Also, it throws them off! :)

Answer 5

"I'm still hoping they do show up...I'll invite them in and tell the Truth!"

Kayjay, if you had the truth, you'd be doing what JW's are doing, in compliance with Jesus' command at Matt. 28:19. Most so-called Christians would rather sit on their hands in church and pay a gabby preacher to do the preaching for them.

There is no excuse for rudeness. And you call yourselves Christians?

Answer 6

I'm in the same boat with you;I'm 21(22 on the 18th of this month), but I look like I'm between the ages of 13-16.

Answer 7

I am a JW that goes to people's doors and I have some funny stories about the people who are on the other side of the door. :)

Answer 8

As a good Christian, I shut the door against them, saying something like "leave me alone". This is true, but maybe not funny enough.

Answer 9

I went at it with hours arguing with JWs over the bible when I was bored one day and they showed up.
I tried to get them to convert to Christianity. It got heated for awhile, they never came back.
I think I got put on thier crap list.

Answer 10

"Have you heard the good word about Jesus Sir?"

me- "Hey guys this is not a good time, My grandmother just died yesterday and-"

"Oh I'm so sorry! You know that Jesus is with us when all our loved ones pass."

me-"Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm not in the mood right now"

"I totally understand. You see we all feel that the death of a loved one can involved deep sadness and introspection. At this sad time, have you looked into your heart?"

me- *stunned silence*

"Well sir, we know that this is hard for you, but it's just at these times that we need God the most...Sir what are you doing? Please put your pants back on....Oh dear, Mary look away!"

*Hasty depature of JW's*

Answer 11

They walked up to me while I was mowing the grass. I didn't know who they were so I stopped. They started their spiel so I just started up the mower again and kept mowing while I waited for them to get a clue and leave.
