Why Do They Keep Ringing My Doorbell?

I have had my doorbell rang once to twice a week during the morning or afternoon. Not the same Jehovah's Witnesses every time. I don't answer my door but they still keep trying.

Ok, look..... I respect all religions no matter if it's Jehovah, Allah or Budda.

So please, and hopefully someone who is a JW on the org can explain why, why does the continuous door bell ringing persist???

Do they keep ringing door bells of people who have not answered their doors or do they give up and talk to those who wish to listen?

What if P came to ur door?

I wish he'd knock on mine

answer the door holding a little notepad and tell them you don't have time to talk but if they give you their address, you'll be happy to drop by their houses unannounced at an inopportune time.

Call the local Kingdom Hall (it's listed in the phone book) and tell them you want to be on the their list of people not to visit. Sometimes this works.

Edited--it's called a DO NOT CALL list.

If Prince came to my door, I'd do the same thing I've done with any other person who came knocking on my door wanting to tell me about the Paradise that no one is guaranteed they'll enter. Offer him real salvation that comes through Jesus.

Seriously, I need a JW for an explanation/point of view.

I was a JW for over 20 years. The preaching work is the most important thing we did. If there is even an inkling of interest or conversation from the person that answers the door, we would keep going back. My grandmother, who was crippled, would take the phone book and just start calling strange people until she found anyone who wanted to talk about God's kingdom. I'm not sure if they still "count time" but we used to have to keep track of all the hours we went out preaching door to door, talking to people on street-corners, and phone calling. If we didn't make our quota, we weren't doing all we could to serve Jehovah.

I wonder if they count Internet preaching now?

Hoimageatall is correct, you can call or write your nearest Kingdom Hal and they will place you on their no call list. That should keep them away for a year or more. They will come back to see if you've changed your mind or have moved or whatever but not frequently.

OR

You can ask them a question or two that they won't want to answer:

"Explain to me, using only the Bible, why accepting a transfusion of the blood fraction plasma is a sin worthy of eternal death, while accepting a transfusion of the blood fraction [take your pick, albumin, etc.] is a 'conscience matter' and draws no congregational action whatsoever."

"I remember seeing on Dateline that if a child molester shares in your door to door work, he is always accompanied by another Witness.....I see there are 2 of you here...so, which one of you is the child molester?"

'Can you provide comprehensive evidence that proves an invisible Jesus Christ descended from heaven in 1919 and chose the Watchtower as the only organization on earth worthy of his name?"

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there have always been Jehovah's Witnesses on earth.
If that is true why did God allow the Bible to be compiled by the "apostate" Catholic Church and not by Jehovah's Witnesses?

What does the term 'Beth-Sarim' mean? (House of Princes)
Why was Beth-Sarim built during Rutherford's presidency?
What happened when the princes didn't show up? Who really lived there?



and this might be the best one:

The Bible says at Luke 21:8, "He said: "Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.’ Do not go after them" What if you're wrong, what then?

Any of these questions will probably get you the "deer in the headlights" look and they will make a quick escape from your door.

Beverly my love, they want cold hard cash; they use that in court cases to fight for their religious freedom. Odd, since they don't believe in voting. They have a lavish lifestyle and they make a mint duping the general public. Next time they come, just tell them not to come over again because you believe in a different belief and to respect that. If not, turn the hose on them.

The sad fact is that many blacks are in the witnesses, even though they started out as a racist organization.

Wave your wildsigns high!!

I dont understand how Jehovah's Witnesses even use the Watchtower as a base for adding or taking away from what the true Bible is saying.Its not like its just a book to help explain the Word of God...it has its own sets of rules and stuff.
Revelations 22:18-19:
"I warn everyone who hears the prophetic words in this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words in this prophetic book, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city described in this book."

I dont like when people say that JWs are Christian because its not like its even a different denomination...they are totally set a part based on their beliefs,rules,etc. : http://www.godandscience....wdiff.html
I like this site because they have Biblical backup...they dont have to look in a Watchtower...its right in the Bible.

I'm so sorry
