So they came to my house today..... My dog helped me get rid of them. It was quite funny.

I told them "sorry, but Loki's the only god in this house". They gave me this horrified look and then my dog stuck his head out the door and barked at them. They left kinda quickly. XDDDDD My dog's name is Loki, btw. ;)

Do they ever come to your house? What do you do? What do you think of Jehovah's Witnesses?

I really don't understand why they do it. Hi, I woke you up at 5am, clearly you won't be fucking pissed and hate me for it. We don't bother answering the door.

I don't mind them, to each their own, but dang, please stop trying to convert me I've said no thank you so many times now. I used to answer the door, smile and nod, politely turn down their pamphlets and dismiss them from my doorway, but it's gotten pretty nutty so I tend to just ignore it these days.

I wasn't sure who it was, but I could hear some old ladies talking, and knew our neighbors were old ladies....and thought maybe something was up with our dogs or horses. I won't be answering from now on, since I know what their car looks like now. :P

I answer the door when I'm not too busy. I try to be polite to all the people that are out there spreading their beliefs. I just say thank you, accept the pamphlets and get on with my day. I haven't come across any crazies or super agressive ones though. Maybe I'd feel differently if I had.

I've heard some crazy stories about these people from my dad....and read some terrible articles about disowning their own children, so I kinda wanted to get rid of them. P:

I live right near (like literally two minutes away) from an Assembly Hall of Jehovah Witnesses. It's massive and people from different states come up to attend it every so often. Even though I live so close to them, they don't go door to door in my plan. I believe they use to? But since then have stopped doing that so I have no stories to actually tell on that front.

They came to my parents house when I still lived there, I just told them my parents weren't home, thankfully I look young so they left without talking to me :P

I remember when I was living with my uni friend, she was accidentally nice to them and they started giving her literature and wanting to talk to her all the time. She made me answer and tell them she moved back to her country lol.

I don't tend to have this problem, as I go "is this about religion?" as soon as someone comes to my door without a clipboard :P Then I just tell them I'm not interested and they go away. There haven't been many Jehovahs around lately though. Last person to hassle me was someone looking for donations for a 1st aid training thing - told her I didn't have the money and she goes "Well hopefully YOU'LL never need first aid..." lol

When I lived at my parents house, we would get them about once a month. I would usually ignore the door and they would be chased off by 6 barking dogs.

The Jehovah's Witnesses used to come around all the time, but they stopped coming to our house after my dad wished them a Merry Christmas one year. lol

I actually used to be one, so... cough lol.

I hated going door-to-door, but it's required (I remember the adults had to record their hours, I wasn't there long enough, stopped going around the age of 15, to really know that whole process) to 'spread the word of God'. I was always so afraid it would end up being someone I was going to school with and they already saw me as kind of weird because of the 'no holiday' thing. Plus, it would just make me feel so embarrassed when someone would talk about how they came to their door and then everyone would turn and look at me. It was even worse when they asked me if I did it, too.

I was seriously incredibly religious before going to the Kingdom Hall (what I remember them calling it), but afterward, organized religion just seemed so ... I have my own relationship with God and I'm good with only that.

When they come to my door, I just tell them I was a Witness before, but I disassociated myself. They leave pretty quickly after that. Though one really nosy guy was trying to find out all my business. Like, why I left and what happened. I just kept telling him it was private until he left.

A lot of my relatives are in the Jehovah "community". My aunt tried to convert me several time when I was young,she gave me book,took me to their meeting and lord it was horrible.They give their money to serve (what? exactly),they refuse blood transfusion/organs and don't even celebrate birthdays or any festive days (I think).So when she told me that Halloween was a blasphemy,I looked at her like she was a crazy lady.

I never really liked them.I never liked how they were really close minded and how .. a lot of stuff were wrong to them. I'm glad that I refuse to read their propaganda.People can do what they want,but being pushy won't make me want to join your cult/ideas or whatever. Same thing apply to church and yada yada. [Edit] And let's not talk about how she thinks I'm "Satan" daughter because I like Halloween and belive in my own "God" (which is myself).I clearly told her "Not a single living shit is making me go through life.Not a single thing is making me stand up in the morning and face the world". So I'm okay with being whatever she thinks I am lol.

It's not even worth the effort to get up and answer the door. We have a big window so I know it's them. We live in FL so I do feel bad for them (apparently HAVING) to walk around in the sun..

I had a friend in high school who was a Jehovah's Witness and she was really nice! she didnt talk much about it but when it was her birthday we did something for her and she was insanely happy cause she's never had anyone really "care" about her birthday.

live and let live yadayada. i dont get the point in kind of taunting/mocking them. i'm sure theyve really helped a few people.

I was raised Christian, I already have the stigma of being a Bible thumping, babbling, blundering idiot attached to that... I can't imagine what Jehovah's Witnesses must ultimately go through.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen a Jehovah's Witness come up our driveway in years. The most interaction I ever had with them was a friend who's parents were and somehow, it got twisted around that because I had a birthday party or something, I was the evil one and thus the parents stopped talking to us and actually started being the example to their daughter about the "evils of the world." Their daughter, who was then around my age, was then forbidden to talk to me.

They stopped coming to our house when my parrot decided to have a screaming fit while they were here. They must have thought he was a screaming child :'D

I don't really mind talking to them, even though I've told them I'm already happy with the church I go to in town and I'm not interested in checking theirs out. Other people can believe and live however they want to as long as they don't try to force their beliefs on me. I expect them to be quiet and leave when I say 'no thank you' though...it's when they persist that I get irritated. I have a good friend who used to belong to one of their...churches? meetings?...and when she, her sister, and her mom left the church (or whatever it's called), the rest of their family disowned them. Utter bullshit, that, disowning someone simply for not believing the same as you do.

@ Doe - Heh me too. I was raised in it, and felt i had to fulfill their requirements about being a publisher, even to the point where I ruined one summer auxiliary pioneering with old people (sigh, so many wasted hours.) I was also forbidden from associating with anyone not "in the truth", leaving me a pretty crippled social outcast. I was disfellowshipped when I was 18, for a bullshit reason, floundered trying to go back for a few years, but they are very unmerciful here but thankfully (haha) I wasn't allowed back, and now, 16 years later, I'm much happier with a much deeper and more honest relationship with spirituality and the divine gods.

My mom and three sisters are still in it, and are supposed to shun me. The only reason they don't is b/c I have a kidlet and they love her much more than they hate me. My moms faced reproval though, but I'm discreet, and I don't publicly badmouth them, so they let at least 'that' much slide. I know without her, I would be fully shunned, though, as no one from that life has ever spoken to me since. Not once in 16 years.

If you don't want them to come back, they used to have a "do not call" list where they'd write your address down and not call on you again. They might once in a year to make sure the same people are there. It might have changed now and they don't do that anymore. I can't ask.

They tried talking to me while I was riding my horse in the arena. My horse bucked so I yelled, "DAMMIT SATAN KNOCK IT OFF!" and they left.

My horse's name isn't Satan but it worked.
