When the Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door...

Post Reply New Topic

they USED to bother me, when they used to come around and my mom was here, she would try hiding, pretending we had to go somewhere (getting into vehicle then driving around block) they then caught on by if you hide tehy try to look for any signs of life and if they are in line of sight they will try sign language with you.

4 years ago, i had about had it with their harrassing and door to door to people who keep saying no, and put me on the dont visit list. every 3 months they would STILL visit and pop the question or preach. they are soooo dumb here, tehy will even knock on the door of a VACANT commercial building that i live next to!! its soooo funny!! like tehy are really going to get an answer from there!!!LOL

so heres what i did: all you forum readers know that im into door hardware, the idea came to me as i was sitting on the couch and watching tv and half asleep i thought, hmm they bother me about soemthing i dont care that much about(sorry mormon and aspie jw's) i have this old 1950's door closer and what i did was placed it on back of couch. when tehy came around about 2 minutes later i opened window and after tehy dot done, i told them about the closer then i had asked since they were soo stupid if tehy woudl like to see me harrass and annoy them by going to their doorstep or their gathering place to teach about door hardware. once one actaully said well that thing you have there has nothing to do with religion!! (jw was wrong) then i told her welll guess what, the first controlled closing door closer was well put on a CHURCH and if it wasnt for a carpenter named Lewis C. Norton getting an idea during a service ha, doors would not be closing by themselves today!! the JWs then said ahh ok, then left,

also to them hardware near window (on inside of course) makes them think you run a hardware store and thus less chance of getting a visit. but since im on a dead end street and i observe that nobody is answering on the 500 ft stretch of the township's appendix, i figured id tell them in a way they will get a clue.

i had to do this a few times to "train" them to get a clue, nobody is answering, and i dont find it fair that they annoy people and harrass them or keep pushing after the person said no thanks!

long story short, i have not had a visit from them in about 4 years because of this idea!!

sorry about the long run ons and history of hardware,

I say 'no thank you' and shut the door.

A long time ago my aunt did that, and the Witness said, 'Don't you want to save your soul?' and still closing the door my aunt said, 'Not today, thank you.'

They keep a list, you know. That's why they keep calling on you. Once you freak them out, they cross you off the list.

We live near a JW Church, and the first time they stopped by, the Missus gets her Bible out, and starts quoting scripture to them. If you want to never see them again, look up the stuff they believe, and be ready next time. If you quote the Bible to them, you're off the list. If you act wishy-washy, they'll NEVER stop dropping by.

Punch them in the face. Well, I would do that, but would get into trouble.

I believe in no religion so I personally don't care for them.

They are annoying.

I remember 1 came round and it went something like this because I didn't know who he was at 1st:

"Me: Yes?
Jehova: Hello, have you ever thought how wonderful this place is?
Me: No not really, I think this world's a piece of s**t.
Jehova: Oh....."

There was a pause and I then I shut the door on him.

Now, I ignore them because I know who they are.

They don't come to my door. I live in a flat. I bet you anything that they will come to my parent's house, just because I'll be there, visiting my little Chico. I pretend I'm not there.

They're pitiful, in their plaintive way. One of their beliefs is that they have to go 'round door to door in order to be 'good enough' to get into heaven. Very sad, actually.

One time, I had one stop by my house while I was working on my van. They didn't get an answer at the door, and then saw me around back with my feet hanging out from under the van, so they came over, and started their spiel. I just said, while you're here, can you hold this, and I reached up through the wheelwell and handed them a big greasy part that they actually took! With their hands greasy, they then got the grease all over their paperwork! It was hilarious, I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing!

Later on, my next door neighbor got so annoyed with them he had their car towed. He noticed which car was theirs when they got out to canvass the neighborhood, and then called the police. A few hours later, a tow truck shows up and hooks the car up! The J.W. have not been seen in this neighborhood since!! ! I wonder if they got their car back!! !

LOL about them getting greasy ! !

Somewhere the JW's sit around and commiserate. "Aw, that's nuthin', I had one bloke who got my car towed while I was trying to save souls."

Well I guess I will tell this story. I was walking with my young teen nephew several
years ago and we spoted the walking bible people (not JW). Any way I cross the street
twice to avoid this guy. He refused to leave us alone so I flashed a knife, He said "nice
knife" I may have said a few bad words to.

I live in Utah, so the Mormons come around quite a bit more than the JW's. I usually say "Thanks, but I already have a religion!" and slam the door in their face.

...and my Religion celebrates Christmas!
