I have never in my life had a Jehovah at my door yet.

I've had people selling meat out of the back of a van, people looking for mushrooms, Tobacco and FireArms (or whatever their called), people selling books, but never the Jehovahs.

It pisses me off when you open the door and they got a child standin there handin out shit.

It's like a human shield so I can't tell you to go fuck off.

Yet another situation where the Nyquil blowdart would come in handy.

BklynBaby, I can't quote you for some reason

But ya, we don't get that here.

I dunno. I get irritated when anyone FORCEFULLY tries to tell you about something, but at the same time I kinda give them an A for effort. It's adnirable that their doing what their religion says theyre supposed to be doing. IMO

I think theres better ways to go about it other than disturbing ppl at home who didnt call you up asking you over tho.

Another of my friends thinks it might need a Benadryl chaser. In her words, "Those mothers don't go down easily or without a fight."

P&R in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

I can't stand Jehovah Witnessses, they get on my last nerve!! The company that manages this place allows them to come around and spiel their garbage to whoever will listen. I don't know why they allow it. If I were making management decisions for this place, I would NEVER okay this. Nobody likes someone knocking on their door, babbling their religious beliefs that 9 out of 10 people don't believe in anyway. Buzz off and leave me alone!!

Yeah this JW snuck up on my ass while I was pumping gas one time.

His ass almost got shot! Don't be sneakin up on my ass n shit.

...but you would welcome with open arms someone knocking on your door and giving you a million dollars or anything you felt was worth you listening to correct? problem solving stuff right?

is that a reason why you come to the org almost daily? I'm sure the Witnesses that knock on your door have better things to do also but they obviously think that you are worth spending some time with

Trust, you let one in and they runteldat to the whole gotdam community. It's like fuck it, I'll stay a heathen just to not even deal with your overzealous crap. My aunt is very into prayer and never pushes her faith on me or anyone. I just can't do that in yo face stuff....they act, and it's not just JWs cuz Baptists knock on my door too, like you don't know anything about God unless they tell it to you. Very off-putting tbh imo.

Lawd, ain't it the truth! I dodged one couple after putting them off for several weeks, and damn if they don't send a whole gottam family to my door--the daddy, the mama, the child. Hell, I was expecting to see the dog, too!

Oh, you don't get the half a cow in the truck folk? I've also seen men in vans trying to sell fish and shellfish. I don't buy because I don't know these people and I'm a little suspect of the foods' origin.

Get over it - be polite - don't cost manners - also if you dont want anymore visits ask them not to knock on your door anymore

Please. They don't even know me.

I don't open my door to actual friends who show up unannounced.

Their lil ears must've twitched hard! There they go knocking on my door now!! Asking me if I want to know the truth? My head hurts, my stomach is bugging me, I need to rest today cuz I work tomorrow and have a 3 hr commute, and I'm trying to get ready for DC.... JW's don't want to hear my truth today.... They are so lucky I did not cut an eye and slam a door....I stay pleasant and said no thanks. I reaaly dislike folk knocking on my door like that. Imma have to put my antisocial sign back up soon. " if you ain't fedex, ups, usps, or publisher's clearing house with a 10 million dollar check, don't knock on my door!"

Oh Lord, . I remember one Saturday morning, when I was 16, I was walking my dog, and I saw these JW's, two men, a woman, and her kid, walking around my neighborhood trying to recruit people. When they got near my house, I picked up my dog and ran straight to the house. A few minutes later, they knocked on the door, and my mother walked up to the door, but didn't open it, shouted, "we're not interested!!!!" I was cracking up.

Ewwwww!!!! How can one keep fish or meat in the trunk of their car? Is it at least on ice? Maybe they're stealing it from the farmer's market.

I've only seen people sell purses, shoes, and fruit out of their cars. Oh and candles.

No, chile. They have them bootleg refridgerator trucks. You know the kind the Good Humor ice cream man had with that little freezer box on the back of the truck? Be all logoed up and shit, too! Got themselves a reglar lil bidness goin!

This is where people need to believe me when I say I hate everyone equally. To each their own. I have no problem with JWs doing whatever makes them happy. Same as I feel about whatever each and every one of you do to make yourselves happy.

I can no longer count on both hands the times I've had conversations with them while they try to convert me via pamphlets. I'll take their Watchtowers, and I'll read them. I'll discuss religion with them as long as they can take it (which is usually not very long). I went to my local Kingdom Hall to get a NWT to add to the shelf of other biblical works of fiction after everybody started talking about JWs at the NPGMC. I showed up right after services and they were ALL very nice people. If they came to my door and I interested at the moment, we would talk. If they came to my door and I was busy I would say, "no thank you, I'm busy, have a nice day" etc. If they made it difficult I would close the door in their faces and not feel bad about, even if they had a porch full of kids with them.

In short, I would treat them no different than I treat anybody else, because that's the way I roll. I understand that they don't treat people the same way. I understand that they don't accept all walks of life. I understand that they have some views that offend people. For better or worse, no matter how it makes them look in the eyes of their neighbors, that's the way they've chosen to live their lives. I don't judge them for it, I don't think it's my place to do so. But I WILL ask them a quick succession of questions that leaves them uncomfortable and wanting to walk away as fast as possible. It's my hope that this tactic gives them something to think about, which was their intended goal when they approached me to begin with. Turn about is fair play and all that.

They used to come around when we lived in Colorado..

Well..... I wasn't trying to be political or religious or whatnot. I don't have anything against JWs and count some of them as friends. I also have Black friends too....I grew up blocks away from thw Watchtower building. I also find some of their stuff good reading and good sense. I really don't like anyone knocking on my door unannounced, and that's definitely a city thing right there. They don't knock on apartment doors in Brooklyn, for a myriad of reasons. I find it just rude as hell for someone to be knocking on your door unannounced and you don't even know them, and thy are smiling thinking cuz they have a bible you gonna invite them in for tea. These were basically 2 strange men at my door! Common sense dictates that they need to move on. Plus you don't know what I am trying to get done in my home. As for me being here every day....well, hell I got it like that....don't hate!

I think you missed my point a little. I find people annoying in general and I don't think JW are worse than anybody else. If it bugs you that much then slam the door in their faces and be done with it. I wouldn't judge you badly for that, either.

Oh, and I would never let them in. I'll chat with them at the door if they like. Most of my interaction has actually been entering or leaving public transportation compounds. They chill in the parking lot and offer Watchtowers to people as they try to dodge them like they're playing a video game.
