Answer 1

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 2

As a Witness myself I understand how annoying this could be. Just ask them to mark you off their territory because you are not interested. If this does not keep the away for awhile you’re just dealing with some rude members. You cannot always get around offending someone, but by no means should they be offended. I wouldn’t personally – and would have stopped coming so frequently after the first hint.

Oh and by the way, I don’t fear Wiccans and enjoy talking with people interested in Wicca, so that won’t work on everyone. Before I became interested in Jehovah Witnesses I was very much into the Occult.

Answer 3

I usually let them know as politely and reasonably as possible. For them this is what they believe is persecution and they are supposed to get some of that to be true witnesses. It's actually mental flagalation, quite different from the days when people would scourge themselves to pay for their sins. Then if that doesn't get them away I ask them to explain Melchizdek. That generally has them leaving with their fingers tucked inside their bibles. I have gotten angry if they persist. I try to treat all people the way they want to be treated and some want to be treated badly.

Answer 4

I am a christian man now . but in the past I would use parts of their own beliefs agaist them I would let them tell me about how god has a first name and it is Jehovah and so on and then when they finaly ran out of breath i would ask " And ....what number are you ?" I would then ask how they can be so secure in their religion when there is only room for 144,000 of them in heaven and there are at least three times that number of them who believe the same thing and somehow they are all going to heaven So i guess my answer is I don't know if you can do it politley the scarcasm didn't work for me

Answer 5

I have had the same problem lately! Don't try being nice, they'll only encourage them to not want to leave and to keep coming back. You have to be rude and tell them that you aren't interested, then slam the door in their faces. You could also threaten to call the police if they won't leave you be. Remember, they're the ones harassing you, not the other way around, so don't feel bad about it.

Answer 6

Call the local police dept. and tell them they won't leave you alone . They should crack down on them . Put up a no trespassing sign and/or tell them they are trespassing . If they ignore the warning call the police . They sense you are "nice" ( meaning weak,pliable ) . If THEY were polite they would not come to your home without an INVITATION . So , Don't worry about not being polite to them . They are an agressive cult .

Answer 7

How polite is it for THEM to be invading your privacy? You don't need to be nice. You don't need to be rude, either, but being nice is the least of your worries here.

Put a sign on your door that says, "No Solicitors, including religious solicitors". If they knock again, show them the sign, tell them you're serious, and you will call the police if they come again. If you care to take the time, you can explain to them that you're not trying to be rude, but that your home is your sanctuary, and if you wanted them to visit, you'd have invited them.

Answer 8

Try to convert THEM!

Seriously though, It's not exactly polite for them to keep harassing YOU, so don't worry about being overly nice to THEM. Just plainly tell them that you're not interested, and that their time would be better spent on elsewhere. Basically explain that they're wasting their time.

Answer 9

Just be straight. Say something like, "While I respect your desire to tell others about your beliefs, I do not share those beliefs and there is no need to discuss them any further. Please respect my wishes while on my property." Thank them and say a kind good bye. No need to be rude.

However, should you desire it. It is like a mission field delivery service. What a great opportunity to sharpen what you believe and why. Possibly even share the love of your Lord and God, Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

Write out a statement that you are releasing them from blood guilt by admonishing to them that while you respect them coming by to give you the glorious good news that Jesus is coming to give us all life in a Paradise on earth.That you have your own agenda and just do not have time for God right now. That way they will have fulfilled their obligation towards you and will not be punished for having your blood on their precious hands.
