Why do Jehovah witness go up to people?

Question

I have nothing against them at all. But I live in Florida and there are so many of them at the bus stations one day I counted nine of them I couldn't believe it I had to go around just to advoid them. I didn't feel like talking about anything that day.

Then one day I told one that am very sleepy I had to get up 4am for school and I made it close to my school by 7am but she said ok and went on.But oddly to me I think they should find new ways to pass out thoes books I see too many people like myself throwing them away to me if someones interested they would go up to one. Plus thats too many trees.

My Grandmother (the only Jehovah in the family)is one so its not like a hate thing but don't you agree that they should wait for people to go to them and not the other way around? I even missed my ride over one.

I believe in God but am not a Jehovah witness.

They are pushy and am not being rude to the first poster but it gets tiring everyday for school am going to be stopped where I rather take the long route to my ride I believe in God but not where am going to bother others.

I was really going to tell one am a fallen angel...but that may bring more of them.

I told them my Grandmother is one but that didn't matter.

Answer 1

If you are asking how to get through the bus station without being delayed and missing your bus, and you are unable to go around them to avoid them, the best thing to do is to walk briskly passed them repeating, "No thank you," "No thank you," "No thank you."

There is no need to give them "reasons" or "excuses," just politely say, "No thank you" ... that is all that is "owed" to them as an answer. You are not being rude to them, but you are not in a position at that time and place to involve yourself in a 2-hour discussion of theirs and your religious beliefs.

As for their "handouts," do not take it, do not even reach your hand out, just walk passed them and continue on your way. Likely all you will hear from them as you go by is them saying "god bless you." What harm is there in that?

I hope you don't miss any more busses, and don't fret yourself about "being rude" to them. Take care and have a blessed day!

Answer 2

nicely the comparable way that we've a private call and could pick to be called by ability of our call truly of guy, woman, Boy & so forth is the comparable way that God feels. Psalms 80 3:18 says "could human beings be attentive to which you, whose call is Jehovah,You on my own are the main intense over each and every of the earth." the actuality that his call is stated interior the Bible shows God needs his call to be commonplace & on account that we are his witnesses or followers, we are called Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 3

Your grandmother has the Truth, she has everlasting life, and is offering it to you and others.
We as Jehovah's witnesses know that God will use Jesus His King to cleanse the world of Non believers, and then re create a Paradise Earth that will last for ever! EARTH! Perfected! with perfect Humans and NO sin, sickness or death a Promise from Revelation 21: verses 3-8 and Revelation 22: verses 17-21!
These truths are offered in the Bible, but are blinded to the NON Believers(people with no spiritual side) That is not religion based,but heart condition based.
If the witnesses keep approaching you non stop, it is because Grandmother, Abuelia, Nana, is praying and Jehovah GOD IS ANSWERING HER PRAYERS. Please help her prayers be answered. It is ALL up to YOU CHILD
The one thing God does not interfere with is free will! Your Choice.................................! Please tell Grandmother Her sister loves her Wilmington Massachusetts circuit 5, Grandmother will understand, Love to you little sister and to Grandmother, Me!

Answer 4

They are expected to preach , So they usually go in groups of 5 or more , usually men and women, and among them is almost always an elder, they have an area that they need to have covered and they need to report back to there congregations how many of the booklets they have given away.I hate to make it sound this way but Basically they are like persistent sales people they are expected to "sell" you their religion. I respect all beliefs as a matter of fact my husband grew up one, but I would beware they have many "cult" like qualities. Many of them are wonderful people, and they truly love God and think they are doing what's expected , but i have read that there is also a large attraction of pedophiles to this religion , due to how easy it is for them to victimize youngsters,within.. Seems like this is an epidemic amongst religions lately..Anyway i would just be straight forward with them and say your in a hurry and would like to chat but cannot, you may want to mention that your grandmother is one and is giving you lessons..This will make them leave you alone for sure.. Hope this helps

Answer 5

I think what you are saying makes sense. Most of them are polite but sometimes you just want to be left alone. Maybe even all the time. I don't really want to hear about it. As soon as I see that picture with the people walking around with the animals I'm like, "give me a break." Nothing against them, It's just not MY thing.

Answer 6

Well the simple answer is that in the Bible Christ commanded ALL Christians to share Bible teachings with others. As Christians we do the same.

If you are not interested, simply let us know, we do not wish to disturb you or waste time, yours or ours. As for throwing something away, I find the simple solution is just saying NO. If you do not want something, then say no thank you and go about your business.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Really, everyone who respects and obeys Jesus Christ goes from door to door to teach his neighbors about the Bible's good news. It is interesting that only Jehovah's Witnesses are so clearly identified with the preaching work; globally more than 6 million preach publicly each month.

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.

(Acts 5:42) Every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.

(Acts 20:20) I did not hold back ...from teaching you publicly and from house to house


It's sad when someone who claims to respect the bible actually insults or even advocates attacking a peaceful preacher. Sad but completely expected.

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.


Really, if someone goes out of their way to disregard Christian preachers and preaching, what is he saying about himself?

(Luke 10:1-17) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos... “He that listens to you listens to me too. And he that disregards you disregards me too. Moreover, he that disregards me disregards also him that sent me forth.”

Answer 8

Jehovah witness are so filled with the love of God that they want to share their religion with them. They love Florida because they can stand outside with their books. Their leaders in Brooklyn get a greater light from heaven telling them more religious mysteries, which they print and share with you.

Answer 9

they r just trying to get people to read their bibles and come to know god but i have to agree they shouldnt be so pushy but if they didnt go to people i dont think they would have very many people come to them and ask for a bible study

Answer 10

So what would you have them do? Keep their religion totally to themselves? I don't believe in that. I am not a Muslim, but I would rather have the public parks filled with praying Muslims then to have religion locked up and hidden from society.
