why do Jehovah Witness keep coming to me?

Question

i am Christian! And I never turn do anyone who want to spread the word. If it the truth I will go along with it, but Jehovah witness are always coming to me. For instance at the bus stop at school I run into some even at home they come every Sunday! I don't want to turn them down, but I am not sure their teachings are right. How do I let them know I don't believe in what they teach without hurting their feelings.

Answer 1

Dear Michael,

They are proven FALSE prophets by God's Word.
Turn them down politely but firmly.

For His glory,
JOYfilled

Answer 2

Ask her why the Jehovah's Witnesses prophesied the 2nd coming of the Lord Yeshua since before 1914 all the way to 1985? This should stop her from coming ever again. Be Blessed:-)

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses work to preach to EVERYONE. They will continue to do so until they die or Armageddon comes.


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 4

Jehovah's Witnesses don't bite. Just say No thank You.

There are 6.7 billion others that they need to talk to.

Mat 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come."

Answer 5

Being absolutely sure of one's beliefs and/or religion is more than enough reason to be able to politely listen to whatever few words Jehovah Witnesses or any other religion/sect would want to communicate to you.

If you lack the time for those few words or phrases, let them know so, and that you're sorry for it. Also let them know you do visit your own church (if you do!), and that you also read as much from different Bible passages as time permits (if you do!). Not only would you be displaying excellent Christian behavior, but are being courteous and polite .

Also. don't be afraid of what you think they "would be teaching you", but rather_and this if you would be willing to engage them in lengthy conversation_what you and him or her could be learning from each other, and from respective beliefs. Both can listen to one another, discuss, and go away with a bit more understanding of human nature, as well as some interesting stories, whether personal or not.

There is after all, something that unites you and them; the believe that God is almighty, loving and forgiving!

Ever since I was little, Jehovah Witnesses would visit my home_not as much now, and I do have to turn them away at the door because of my lack of time, as I am caretaker to one family member,etc._I have hundreds of stories to tell, shared by them. I absolutely loved their Bible, probably because it was the first I had, and also because of the glossary, index, etc., which helped me look up many interesting things later on.

I also spent quite a few years in Catholic school and church. I'm neither Catholic nor Witness, and have no denomination. I could also tell you where I differ with each regarding many of their beliefs, and why. By the way I also spent some years living in a building with many Jewish people, and also Muslims. And I also know a bit about their beliefs, stories, etc.

Answer 6

Have you read/studied their beliefs? Do you know that their teachings are wrong? How do you determine truth vs. fiction? If you don't want them coming up to you, simply say, "thank you, but I am not interested." But I think you should learn more about all beliefs/faiths, so that when someone approaches you telling you why their faith is better, you will have a response that reflects your own convictions and not just "I gotta go." good luck!

Answer 7

if you are not interested, you don't have to be rude as some are saying. would you be rude to Jesus Christ for doing the samething??? tell the witnesses you are not interested and to put your name on the do not call list and they will stop. if you want to learn about Jehovah Witnesses see the website at www.watchtower.org. we are not trying to change your religion, that is between you and Jehovah God. people laughed at Noah and when Jehovah shut the door, they could not get into the ark. if someone argues, we walk away because we do not argue with anyone

Answer 8

Im afraid in life sometimes you need to learn to be tough and this is one of those occasions. not necessarily because they are Jehovah's witness but because they are taking advantage of the fact that your so nice.
until you are strong enough to stand up for yourself why not have a friend with you to give you support
simply tell them (quite straightly ) that you've now heard enough and its not what you want as you have your own religion
if your still being pestered then tell a teacher or parent as its classed as harassment and should be stopped

Answer 9

All you have to say is something like "I respect your beliefs, but I am Christian and there's no changing that. Thanks have a nice day." Just be honest and nice. They should leave you alone after that.

I am not religious whatsoever, but I experience the same thing at times. People feel the need to teach others about their religion, and people have a right not to listen.

Answer 10

Jesus commanded his followers to preach the word wherever people may be found (at home, in the park, at the bus stop).

You say you are Christian- do you follow Jesus' command to preach? (Matthew 28:19,20)

We want people to know what hope the Bible gives. It is such GOOD NEWS really!!!

We do not force anyone to listen, if you are not interested, then tell them to put you on the Do Not Call list. That way no one will come to your house.

Why don't you let them answer some questions you have? The answers will come from the Bible, from YOUR Bible.

Answer 11

Hmmm....very interesting. You seem to be applying logic to a question of faith. Think about this: you "don't want to turn them, but I am not sure their teachings are right." What standard are you applying to judge whether their teachings or the teachings of you church are right? Emphasis on the meaning of right? How can you ever be sure which teacher is right; by what standard?
