What's the funniest thing you have ever done when a Jehovah's witness came to the door?

Question

Whe I was a teenager and still living at home, my Mom answered the door to one of them. I heard her say "Sorry, we're Jewish". I had to laugh because there's a huge window in the front of the house and there was the Christmas tree right in front of it...

Answer 1

This happened by mistake. I told the two witnesses that I would be happy to share my faith with them and then they could share their faith with me when I was finished. They looked at one another and then said "Thank you" and the left for the next house.

Answer 2

I didn't do this, but they did. I was living in a town of 20,000 people (like I am now) and they came to my door. I invited them in and talked to them, even though I was only wearing an old blue terrycloth robe. I was also on my way to housesitting later that day, and by golly, they came to that house the next day, and there I was, answering the door in that same old robe. They asked me if I ever wore anything besides that robe! I didn't know whether to be embarrassed or impressed that they remembered. If I remember correctly, I just laughed and invited them in again to talk. What the heck. Never hurts to talk to people. It beats what my mother used to do when the Fuller Brush man used to come by. She'd hide in the closet and tell one of us kids to talk to him and tell him she wasn't there. Did she think he was coming in and looking through the house for her??

Answer 3

Would it not have been simpler to say...
Please do not call again....
We pray that we have God's blessing and in you making fun, it is not to us but to God.
that;s either very brave or very foolish.
Have a look at what the Bible
says about you.
(2 Peter 3:3) For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires

(Proverbs 9:12) If you have become wise, you have become wise in your own behalf; and if you have ridiculed, you will bear [it], just you alone.


Enjoy Gehenna.

Answer 4

I was working in my front yard early in the morning when they came to our community common area. They walked into the laundry facility and placed their little flyer's. I did my best to ignore them and my back was turned away as I was working in the dirt. I knew who it was when I heard the click, click of the heels on my pathway. I heard "Excuse me, can I give you something to read later today"? I turned, saw who it was and replied: "Jehovah's Witness"? She replied: "Yes", I ended with "No Thank you", turned back to my task, tossing weeds over my shoulder.

May not be funny, but it is real.

I acknowledged who she was and was respectful and polite as I declined her offer. There was no need for me to lie. I think that she respected and appreciated that. They have not returned.

Answer 5

I said "Hi, I am Diane, I am marrying your son,(whisper) by the way I am an Atheist."

My mother-in-law nearly had a heart attack.. My husband hadn't mentioned what my beliefs were just that I wasn't JW...

Answer 6

Nothing because they are only doing what they are told to do-evangelize. Jesus told His apostles to go out toward the lands and spread the Good News. All believers are to do that. I'll listen to them and talk with them and have had a few rethink their own beliefs. I know of 2 that converted to Catholicism about 8 years ago. Others stopped knocking. I evangelized the evangelizers. Jesus told all His believers to continue His teachings. I think the JW have ascrewed many Biblical verses. And if they will listen to me, I will prove the Truth to them. And do it in a loving way, like they try.

Answer 7

I invited them in and talked with them and tried to understand what they believed. I think I got it. That was a bit strange.

Answer 8

When I was a child, my mother would just tell them that she was Catholic (which was true) and that would send them off in a hurry. I heard it does not scare them away any longer though.

Answer 9

I told them I didn't speak English...I guess it isn't that funny but it worked.

Answer 10

I stopped them mid-sentence and started telling them all the gory details of how I masturbate with my kitchen countertop appliances and husbands powertools.
