What I don't get about Jehovahs is that they believe that only what -- 144000? -- people are going to be saved at the Resurrection. If that is so, why are they looking for more converts? Are they hoping that I'll be one of the saved ones and put in a good word for them? Or do they just want to brag about how they know THEY'VE got it made but unfortunately I'm too late and a loser but I can shine their chariot in heaven?
I was out on my porch with my boyfriend a few weeks ago. Apparently, there is a latino Jehova's Witness center somewhere near my house. They were wandering around the neighborhood looking for Spanish speakers and spotted my boyfriend, who's hispanic...we couldn't hide in time to avoid their notice, lol at least I got to hear the spiel in Spanish this time and received pamphlets en espanol. woo! They invited me to come speak Spanish with them anytime...(aka, submit myself to the indoctrination...I'll pass).
At any rate, they were very polite and so were we. We never argued with them, or tried to "scare them off" and they didn't take up more than 5 minutes of our time. It was no big deal. Some more of them visited me again about a week later and same thing...short conversation, polite...I just nod and say "mmm" alot, never agree to anything nor do I challenge them. They get the idea and go away.
I was actually nude when they knocked at my door.
I would of never opened they door, but for these folks
i said FTW and opened nude. It has been over 6 months
and they never returned.
Sweet justice!
now the mormon's.. if they're cute guys... I'll talk to em...and tell the kitty to be nice..
the jehovah's witness people are always old and creepy.... kitty hates old creepy people with bibles...
JW's are hard. I can't even tell them to shove off because they are always 2 elderly ladies who look like my grandma. They do that on purpose.
I've had 2 regulars drop by every couple of months for over 5 years now. I really do wish they would stop. I've taken to peeking out my window whenever the doorbell rings and just "hiding out" until they go away. I don't like being a prisioner in my own home. Door to door solicitation of any kind drives me nuts. Sometimes it's not little old ladies, sometimes it folks who have been shipped in from outlying areas, great big men, who procede to tell me that they are selling such-and-such in order to stay off the streets and out of trouble, and that's done on purpose too, to sound like a poorly veiled threat IMHO. While I will not put up with that, or be intimidated, I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a little scared and vulnerable when I'm alone.

For the past few months I've had a wide array of people soliciting religion, and they're getting sneakier.... I've had the well mannered young missionaries, the magazine sellers (I ALMOST fell for that one), the family who just got back from overseas (complete with adorable little blonde haired blue eyed daughter), the ones looking for Spanish speakers, the whole family (like...6 people at my door), the 'sad, poor' young family (with infant) etc etc etc.
It's actually pretty interesting to talk to these people then they'll randomly ask if I 'know' Jesus Christ. That's when the door shuts.
