I have the same lady who keeps coming about every 2 months or so. I have asked her to please not bother me, but she showed up again today. I work from home and it is very disrupting; plus it's obvious that I am here or I just wouldn't answer the door. She's a nice lady, but I have no interest in reading the Watchtower magazine. She offered to make me a baby blanket (I am pregnant) today and I was like "no thanks!" I felt bad. Isn't that a little odd, though? How can I stop these people from coming?

i know how substantial your sleep is to you...this is how Jehovah's Witnesses experience too and yet they typically will bypass out of their thank you to help others on the fee of their own sleep or maybe their time and delight. So, the 1st element you should do is positioned a demonstration up that asserts "Day Sleeper", because of the fact i stumble on that many sales human beings will knock very loudly and ring the bell and not pay interest to the guy's subject. Jehovah's Witnesses, on the different hand, are actually not that way. it rather is even pronounced at conferences to be considerate of their associates. it rather is the reason they are going to normally no longer bypass to a door previously 9:30AM. no decide for so you might get disenchanted or deliver your canines, only state your subject, and it rather is going to be observed on the territory card which you're an afternoon sleeper and to no longer call on weekends. I do wish however that at a suitable and handy time you're able to have a short verbal substitute and hear a scripture interior the Bible previously judging them.

Maybe shes just lonley lol because they dont normally come back if youve told them not too. Put a sign up on your door saying NO JEHOVAS WITNESS But next time she comes have a good long chat to her telling her that you definatley do not want to convert do not want any watch tower magazines and your life is very comfortable as it is. If this dosent work i guess your going to have the threaten with the police or just not answer the door.

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).

A) Attach a mezzuzah to your front door jamb. She'll think you've gone over to Judaism.
B) Attach a holy water font on the door jamb. She'll think you're a really, REALLY religious Catholic.
C) Buy a tape recorder and put in a tape of a large, mean-sounding dog barking his head off. Push the on button when your doorbell rings. (This one'll get rid of salesmen and policital activists too)
D) Put a sign on your gate or door:\
NO UNINVITED PERSONS ALLOWED! Trespassers will be prosecuted.
If you live in Texas you may substitute "shot" for "prosecuted". If you live in Massachusetts, you may substitute "persecuted" for "prosecuted".

They came to see my wife several times when she was pregnant also. My wife didn't answer the door even though it was obvious she was home. They eventually got bored and left, but they came back more times.
You might show them references in the Bible that demonstrate the trinity and they might not come back. That's what did it for me. I wouldn't mind discussing more, but I think they figure I'm hopeless.

Good question. Some of them will not take NO for an answer. Short of actually being just plain rude to them, just don't answer the door, even if it is obvious you are home. Hopefully they will take the hint.

Draw a white outline of a body on your front step and spread the watchtower magazines around it

This will be hard to do, but when she rings the bell, open the door, look at her for about 3 seconds, and then close the door gently without saying a word, whether she is talking or not.

Your door is like your telephone .. You do not need to answer either one just because you are home. You need not feel rude. If you quit answering the door, she will then quit going to your house.

Let her in and ask her if Jesus is not God why is He called the Alpha & Omega? Why is He called the Everlasting Father, why does He have a name on His thigh as the KING OF KINGS & LORD OF LORDS? Ask her Why Jesus ALONE has immortality? ASK her Why in Revelation 22:3-4 after mentioning God & Lamb does the verses go Singular to describe God & Jesus.
Study your bible if you are a believer and win her to Christ!
