after being rudly awaken by two old women on sunday mornin, at 9 o clock may i add, i had to stand on my door step half naked in the cold and listen to them babble on about...... i forget what it was now but they wouldnt let me shut the door! after about 10 mins id had enough and nicely told them to f*ck off. Now i keep gettin there letters through the door and i feel they are tryin to brain wash me. surely this is illegal and what can i do to stop this mad organisation from terrorising me and my family. has this happened to anyone else or have i just pissed them off?

JWs don't do door to door on a Sunday morning,they do that on Saturday mornings

so you either made that up to start a rant (your choice,i'm not having a go) or they weren't JWs

ok mate just worried bout da family u know. didnt mean to offend u if u are a jw .

dba

lol,no worries

I'm not,but i know someone who is,and they aint a cult,just deeply religous,nothing to worry about,

the door knocking is because they are told to do it in their bible.its not a choice,they have to try and convert as many people as possible to the "truth"

which is nothing more than a life dedicated to god

its a pisser being disturbed by anyone,but i reckon Kirby salesmen are worse

what would scooby do

Well normally if you tell these retards to fvck off they don't bother you again. I've been blacklisted I guess - after having them once a month 3 years ago I kinda went a bit ballistic - never been visited since.. maybe it was 'cos I berated a 7 year old kid by saying did he want to grow up and be a cvnt like his father and wear bad suits etc

- fecking lowlifes

Do what a friend of mine does:

invite them in, light up a joint and stick a porno on.

They never seem to come back.

Dude, close the door next time.

I've done all types of approach.

I've done...

The nice: "ok, I wish you the best of days but sadly i'm not interested... bye bye *smile*"

The extremes: "Hi! ...Goobye! *clunk*"

The apathic: Basically consists of never saying a word and stare at them until they leave.

The mutilator: This one's my fav. when they get their foot in trying to stop u from closing the door, u just use all your might in a quite rewarding attempt to cut a limb off squeals of joy!!!!

There are a few others but I think from all my fav is my brother's. He wears an inverted cross (supposed to be the cross of satan). And when they show at the door, he just pulls it out and starts rubbing it until they say soemthing about it. One has said goodbye straight up. But many are clueless to it's meaning and when they make a remark about it being hanging upside down, he lets them have the "truth" about his satan worshiping and how he'd like to convert them to it. How you kill from goats to people in offerings of blood. You know... fiction!

Nothing wrong with that! If they try to "sell" you something, why can't you "sell" to them???? Aren't these the times of tolerance and equal rights????

well i went down half naked and thats not a pretty sight . they have never been round before and it just was a bit weird thats all. and sundays the only day i get to have a fookin lie in

prana

Invite them to bed with you ..... they'll leave very shortly.

Duck_Pond

Tell them that you can't talk for long, as you are getting ready to go to give blood. That usually gets rid of them.

Years ago I was watching a Beavis and Butthead video and the door went, I did the only decent thing, pulled my t'shirt over my head and went to the door.

'I am the great Cornholio and I need TP for my Bung-Hole'

'TP, TP, for My Bung-Hole'

They looked confused and I then shut the door.

Got some others by answering the door apparently upset/distressed, they asked what I was upset about

'My dog has just died'

They looked concerned (they still wernt getting in)

At this point the dog ambled up to see who is at the door

'Praise be, its a miracle !'

And then shut the door.


At the wifes aunties they turned up and presented me with a Watchtower about the evils of ****, I got into a conversation based on the fact his wife was an absoltute stunner with a low cut summer dress and ***** that nearlyhad me becoming a 'jughovahas witness', twenty minutes staring at her ******* whilst denouncing the devil that is internet filth whilst my mate could be heard snorting from the kitchen, bear in mind he gave me my best tips and has seen my internet history, ahem. going round with the watchtower preaching to blokes about **** whilst his wife stands there looking amazing, no wonder he says no to **** the smug b4stard !


I went out with a girl whose parents were Jehovash witnesses, she was ok and the mum was ok when the dad wasnt around but the dad was a complete ****, wouldnt speak to me, didnt know whether its because I wasnt of the faith or that I had a really smart Golf GTI, nice clothes and a good job, was aged 18 and ******** his daughter,

Butkus

Do they really put their foot in the door to stop you from shutting it?!

scoobypreza

We get a lot of Latter Day Saint Mormons here.
Always young clean cut lads on pushbikes!

There was a knock on our door last weekend early in the morning.
I ignored it to begin with but then they knocked again so I thought it must have been our postgirl with something from amazon.
But bu99er it was the mormons....again......I just told them it wasn't a good time. They said ok ... just let us introduce ourselves. I said NO! It really isn't a good time and just shut the door. I was in my nighty ffs! (oi...oi ...!it was early!)
I hate having to do that, why should I be made to feel bad for closing my own front door.

If I wanted to find out about their religion I'd do it myself not because some guy in a duffle coat got me out of bed in the morning. Don't they realise how many people they are putting off.

The thing that gets me is why do they keep doing it?
I understand they want to convert as many as they can but they must get so fed up of the abuse they get??
It must take a certain type of person to keep going.
There's not one person on our street that would let them in, and they must know it, so why bother???? I'd give up.... but then I'm not religious.

i doubt it


to many tales and not enough facts
i will tell you what i did
i told them i was up for it 100%

i was looking after my mates house at the time while he was on holiday, i gave them his name, and was out his house in a few days

i got a right earfull about that

i thought it was quite amuseing

ROTFMLFAO @ jughovas withness....

I had a massive theological argument on the doorstep with them when I was bored. It took just over 2 hours to disassemble their arguments to the extent that they were answerless before they finally gave up and left!

I don't know whether I managed to destroy their faith entirely but they certainly reported back to "Cult Headquarters" because they kept sending out more god squadders over the next few months so it kind of backfired on me. By that time however the novelty had worn off and I wouldn't give them the time of day!

Don't mind hearing their opinions.... once, but woe betide them if they can't back them up!

They knocked on my door once, I told the guy to go away but he was not having none of it spouting this and that at me, So I said you have 5 secs to go away or the dog gets you, did he go NO, so I said Max ( RIP Max) get yer dinner mate, the guy went one way and his briefcase the other, my friend next door stood their pissed himself and said you won't go to heaven, they should'nt be allowed to put it in your faces if I wanted to be one I would have joined.

My next door neighbours are Jehovah` Witnesses as are some of my wifes family. I`ve never had a problem with them. I just let them know that I wasn`t interested in their beliefs and that for me to believe in them too would take a hell of a lot of people clubbing me about the head with large bats until I was too senseless too argue. I`ve lived next door to them now for over 3 years without a single knock at the door and I`ve never heard mention of Jehovah when I see my wifes family.

Diesel

AJM - yep done that once too; very time consuming but ultimately satisfying. They cant fight logic with mumbo jumbo!

I also asked them if God would think this was a good use of the time he has given them, or would they maybe be better people [and ultimately of course get more 'God points'] working in a soup kitchen!

NACRO

I can't understand why people feel the need to be polite to these kind of interlopers. Last time some bothered me I went into one about them wasting my time ringing the doorbell and it being an invasion of privacy. I then told them to **** off and that next time it would be a bucket of cold water out of the window rather than a firm refusal. Same applies for door to door salesman and anyone else calling at my house or telephone who isn't a friend or relative.

ajm

ha ha! Yeah, my argument was similar and included the following points:-

* Motivation - many of them are motivated to do what they do not because they want to help you but because they want to avoid some kind of divine retribution. In their eyes you are their ticket to the good life in heaven. (This isn't always the case but the ones where it is true are easy to spot)

* Pose the question: If I lead my life as you do, with all the same moral values and repect - our actions are the same but for one important difference: I don't believe in God. Which of us, given that I have no ulterior motive (see above), is the better person and why?

Thats usually enough material for a good old doorstep dingdong!

I had a girl who was a JW working for me for a while- total lune and complete hypocite- she was quite prepared to let her 'to be' husband die if he needed a blood transfusion but went out at the weekend and got sh*tfaced on booze & pills..

Nice google ads

MattW

Round here, they usually start with teh "nice car" routine. When they finally get to the point I just politely tell them I'm RC. I don't know what it is but they make their apologies and leave straight away.

Any JW's about that can explain???

Diesel

Absolutely AJM! They do all this based on the belief (faith ) that God points are(to their selfish mind) directly proportional to hours spent alienating people from religion on a doorstep. And dont get me started on that watching a child die from the need of a transfusion thing...that must be the height of passive barbaric immorality. Jesus would surely turn in his grave...

OllyK

LOL - not that's funny!

The RC thing worked for me too. They've never been round since.
