What do you say to a Jehovah's Witness at the door?

[Magicthyse]

My friend had a hilarious one...

Refuse their solicitations, and say 'Thank God I'm an Athiest...'

 

[Mo0o]

uh huh...uh huh... SLAM

 

[Tauren]

"I'm not interested." Then I shut the door.

 

[RedRooster]

My mother, God bless her, tells the JWs about her religion and how she likes it. She proceeds to tell them the truths of her's, and if they don't like it, they leave.

 

[Koeppster]

I would politely tell them that I am not interested and also request that they never come to my door again. Don't give them any reasons why or they'll probably lure you into a conversation.

chht-chht

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

They really like it if you pretend to be the devil.

 

[nakedfrog]

They REALLY like it if you start stripping while they're talking to you.

Or you can tell them you're either disfellowshipped or disassociated (either one will probably have them leave in a hurry)

 

[Hecubus2000]

Open door and yell Iyiyiyyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiiiiyiyii (in a freedom fighter type fashion) shut door. They usually don't come back for a few months.

 

[Mday]

hand that person a pentragram, and tell him you're a santa worshipper =)

[NaughtyusMaximus]

Tell them you're Jewish.

 

[Fausto]

Don't say anything. Just make sure you take off your pants and drawers before answering the door. Also works well with girl scouts selling cookies and newspaper salesmen.

I had a nice sign made @ Staples that says: "No Soliciting & We Have a Church Home" , put it up by the front door 3 months ago, haven't had a single knock since.

 

[Thegonagle]

They get scared if you tell them you're Catholic. I don't get it, but they always leave in a hurry when my dad tells them that.

 

[zippy]

<< Tell them you're Jewish. >>

I've found that only makes them try harder.
I am Jewish, so when my sister answered the door and they started and she told them we're Jewish, they said, "Oh that's okay" and continued.

Just be polite, this is what they believe in so respect them for that. They aren't trying to disrespect your religion, they're just trying to obey what they believe in. It doesn't take any effort to be courteous anyway. /me starts singing Kumbaya

 

[LAUST]

My little brother a few years back when he was still livin at home had his hair cut like the drummer in No Doubt so he had the horn's going, we saw em coming one day so he got em all spiked up and wore a Type-O shirt, they didn't want to say much and never came back again

So his time of dressing freaky came in handy for sure

 

[Colt45]

tell them your busy cleaning your gun..

 

[Tates]

I just say "No Thank You", and close the door.

<< That only makes them try harder. If you're already a form of Christianity they are trying to get you to change sects, but if you are a completely different religion there is more of an incentive, for lack of a better term. >>



Jehovah's Witnesses reject the divinity of Christ, so they are not Christians.

 

[Gs400TRd]

I tell them that I don't speak english. worked no JW's in 2 years and counting.

 

[zippy]

Stonewall: Right, forgot about that - thanks. Fixed.

 

[AreaCode707]

Invite them in and don't let them get a word in edgewise, just tell them, in detail, exactly what you believe.

Or you can have an actual discussion with them about what they believe and why, and what you believe and why. Doesn't work to get them to go away (I agree with telling them you're Catholic for that) but it's always interesting.

<< hand that person a pentragram, and tell him you're a santa worshipper =)yes, santa. >>




Wouldn't you hand them a candy cane or maybe a nice little wreath instead? Last time I checked the pentagram was not appropriate Christmas decoration, at least for the front room.

"Can you excuse me? I just put a goat on the alter. Thanks!"
