Recently i had a jehovah witness guy call to my door ,i had quick chat an said i wasnt interested,

how do you guys deal with them

Captain Darling · 28-12-2011 01:57PM

They are humans before they are jehovah witnesses. I'd have a chat and politely tell them i was not interested in organised religion.

Doff my metaphorical hat and then close the door.

Tell him you agree with him. They hate that. Their energy and self-belief comes from rejection, as odd as that might sound.

Usually along the lines of "look man, it aint happening" and wish them well.

Normally goes something like this:
1. Arrive at door in a latex suit
2. Invite them, while striking your arse with a whip.
3. Ask them about the religion
4. Ask: "If I join will I be forgiven? Because I've been a very naughty boy!" while slowly starting to caress your hand up his leg.
5. Sit back and relax as you never get disturbed by them ever again

danniemcq · 28-12-2011 02:04PM

ask are they the ones that said the world was gonna end twice already

and how they got that so wrong

I don't normally answer the door to the god squad, but I was stung by them about a month or so back. The lad saw me goin' up the drive way. He was nice enough I spose, so I took the crap he was giving me.. what is like watch tower or something like that? anywho, I just filed it in the green bin and that was that.

Whats annoying me more at the door at the moment is people selling crap. A sky rep came to the door and when I told him I already had the works he asked if he could use my toilet o_O

I had a great chat with one of them a few years ago, even made him promise to call back with answers to some of the things I asked him, mainly things like "why is a god even necessary?" and "even if I did exist why does me deserve to be worshipped?".

He never did call back...

isn't that your usual reaction? even with the postman or trick or treaters?

Thats dodgy ,the guy asking to use the toilet, he could be scoping out the place

My mother lives down a road in the back of beyond but they always call into her. She brings them in for tea and a chat. I suppose she feels sorry for them or something. They always come in and fuss over the dog (not God or jehovah or whatever they are pushing).

They seem like a nice bunch, mis-guided, but nice.

i tell them that religion is for those that are too weak minded to believe in their own individual faith rather than following someone else's half baked ideas.

they usually dont stick around.

Carter P Fly · 28-12-2011 02:10PM

My Ma's a Jehovas Witness.

Jw's have a weekly class where they learn about their door to door work Trust me, All the really funny and really origional things folk come up with theyve all heard before and are prepared for it.

Just say No thank you politly but firmly and close the door.

Whlie I dont subscribe to their religion they really are great devout people who believe in their work.

mattjack · 28-12-2011 02:11PM

Just as they walk up the driveway, I jump out the front upstairs bedroom window and run off screaming bout the bodies in the freezer.Never fails.

Just tell them "Not interested" and close door.

I used be plagued by them, always at the same time each sathurday. Finally got rid of them by answering the door naked, complaining that they were interupting us practising our religion. When they asked what religion we were practising, I explained that in our holy book it said to go forth and multiply, but that they rang the doorbell everytime we had a chance. Never saw them again.

be careful with things like that, few houses have got robbed this way,

remember kids never allow ANYONE into your house unless you have asked them in or know the reason they are calling.

all to easy these days to do up a fake ID and grab a uniform or official looking clothing

Hobbes · 28-12-2011 02:15PM

Only thing I like is if I say I am not interested, they go away and don't bother me.

Compare that to an Eircom or Sky Cable shill and they just won't shut up. You say you are not interested and they ignore you, then when they do stop talking and you again say you are not interested, they say "Are you the house owner?" and then demand to speak to the house owner before they will p!ss off.

That works, once i made the mistake of confronting them, took ages to get away. Now i just agree with them and thank them for calling. Had them about 10 minutes ago, between agreeing and thanking them for calling, they were 2 mins max at my door,

If they keep talking, as they do, I still continue to close the door.
They can talk all they want to a wood door if they want after that.

Haelium · 28-12-2011 02:20PM

I try to convert them to the Church of the Golden Throne and tell them about the God-Emperor of mankind.

Oh I didn't let him in. He came back around a second time, and I'd told him he'd already been. a few weeks prior to that two of them were going around the area, and one of them asks if I have a hammer or something because the arse of his shoe was falling off. And no, I didn't give him a hammer! :eek:

I generally don't answer the door though.

Scruffles · 28-12-2011 02:25PM

the jehovahs called around mine a few weeks ago-there were older women in old fashioned dresses with the pair of men.
was watching from the bedroom window as its on ground floor ,after the knock,they all saw the plaque on the wall-it is a residential home [and shoud be obvious to them from the layout,carpark and signs]....staff opened the door and the gaggle of religeon-folk said they were jehovahs and apologised for bothering us.
weirdly though,they all stood on the ramp up to the door arguing with each other.

its nice to know they were repelled,but also concerning that they dont think we were good enough for a copy of the watch tower to nosy through.

cosanostra · 28-12-2011 02:26PM

Ask them do they still believe the world is only a few thousand years old if they say yes i'll tell them to come back when they get sense

44leto · 28-12-2011 02:28PM

Just "not interested" or just a plain "no" and I shut the door.

Who I do hate is the aggressive sellers that use foot in the door tactics. Those get a non polite response.

rednik · 28-12-2011 02:30PM

Smile and close the door.

petes · 28-12-2011 02:33PM

Invite them in and try to convert them to jedi's!

DoesNotCompute · 28-12-2011 02:34PM

Usually I release the hounds.

44leto · 28-12-2011 02:36PM

What is that about. Why do the religious want to "convert" people. I would describe myself as a non-believer/atheist I have never had the tiniest inclination to "convert" people to my way of thinking.
