When your out of diapers and more grown up most with any sense and intelligence just explain to them that don't want them to call again and to make a note of it. It's that easy

Ask us to record you as a ''do not call'' the next time we visit, alternatively you could download a free printable sign that covers all who may call such as sales persons, religious callers etc.

On occasions we have found that there is an interested person at an address but has not been the one answering the door, at other times persons have moved away and there are new occupiers at an address, in order to contact as many people we can, we make repeated calls.

We don't want to annoy, but out of love of neighbour and love of Jehovah we call so as to help ones to learn what the Bible teaches, what God requires of us and the hope held out to us all, doing so as Jesus Christ commanded us in Mathew 28:18-20. I hope this is of help to you and aids you to know why we keep calling. All the best

Tell them what you just told us. That you have told other witnesses that you are not interested but more witnesses keep coming and you would like them to stop. Normally when you are not interested, they make a note of it, but maybe the ones you told failed to do that for some reason.

I call them hypocrite because they speak about God and yet eat meat. How can you worship God and devour His creation, not caring for the pain caused during the life of the animal and in the slaughter too?

They never come back when i said this.

Open the door with a candle in your hand and you trousers slightly askew, say something along the lines of the following, 'Oh! Sorry it's not really covenient right now, my dad was about to insert this candle in my anus as part of our satanic rituals, can you come back later?'



I can guarantee you will never see them again!



Then it's just a question of what you say when which ever authority they might report it to comes knocking, the risk is yours.



Edit:



As for these people saying on here they take note and do not come back, this is a clear lie, but me and my neighbour had regular visits for nearly three months every saturday morning despite neither of us having shown interest, we ended up chasing one away both of us armed with brooms it got so bad, these people are far to thick headed to understand that the majority of people do not want to hear from them ever.



Edit 2:



Oh the thumbs down, i must have incurred the wrath of the Jehovah's, can you see how scared I am, not!
2012-05-24 12:55:13 UTC
I just say "no thank you" and shut the door. That's if I don't see them coming first. If I do I just don't answer the door at all.

This is a great question, as it brings back some fond/funny memories of my youth.

It never failed...every Saturday morning they'd show up on our street ringing our doorbells in their matching K-mart charcoal suits. Sometimes we'd still be up from the night before (I was quite the party animal back in the day). So when they'd show up we'd offer them a beer, a toke, or whatever else was going on at the moment, along with intoxicated theological discussion. Of course they'd refuse drugs & booze, and try to offer words of wisdom in return.

One night we partied at my friends house (all-nighter), and around 9am the doorbell rang. My buddies brother was highly intoxicated, and brushing his teeth in the bathroom at this time. He came running out stark naked, three feet of hair tangled up like a magpie's nest, with a mouthful of toothpaste and answered the door yelling and spitting Colgate all over the place. He went on and on about how he would not be alive had it not been for a blood transfusion he received at birth, and that other religions don't feel the need to harass people in their homes, etc. In the same breath he was hitting on/flirting with the female Jehovah. You should have seen the looks on those JW's faces. The Black Sabbath album cranked up in the background didn't help much either.



This scared them off for good, and since I lived next-door they didn't bother me again either :)



I highly recommend this method!



Edit -

These days my buddy who answered the door handles things much differently.

From what I've heard, he switched form Colgate to Crest.

Just ask they put you on a do not call list.

If that ask which congregation they are from? Then write

and make your terms clear that you do not want them calling.

As your will consider this harassment. Send it recorded delivery

and keep a copy. If that fails then report the matter to the police

under harassment or whatever similar law in your country.

I simply tell them that I have my own church of worship but thank you anyways. Never had a problem using that and they usually leave. No need to get rude or nasty. Just me...
2012-05-24 15:20:05 UTC
Show them a copy of " Jehovah's Witnesses... A Dangerous Cult"... by Fr Stephen Maxfield.

It's a short booklet saying how JWs have got things wrong and how they twist the Bible to their own ends.

Witnesses refuse to read anything that is contrary to Watchtower teachings and will probably beat a hasty retreat... they'll think twice about coming back too.
2012-05-24 13:21:13 UTC
Jehovah's Witnesses follow the command of Jesus that we should preach this good news about God's kingdom until the end come(Matt.24:14;Matt. 28:19,20).We do not want to irritate any of our neighbors who are not dispose to hear the message we share with them.We do take note of any odjections to our visit but sometimes circumstances changes.If you strictly reject the message we come to your door with then leave a note on your door barring us from knocking on it and we will comply for a time.We love our neighbors and want to share with them a message that Jehovah thru His son Jesus Christ is going to do away with all the suffering on the earth.We are also sharing a warning message that they are going to do away with all those who He considers His enemies.We as Jehovah's Witnesses are not sorry for our house to house ministry but are mostly sorry that most people are not accepting the message we share from the bible with them.Jehovah is the only one who has the authority to stop us from witnesses.And when that time comes you will know.because then you will know that the end has come(Matt.24:14:Matt.28;19,20).

Always be kind. While these people may be annoying, they mean no harm. I tell them that, "I appreciate your concern, but I don't need any help interpreting the Bible so there's no need for you to give me any of your literature. Have a nice day."



Or you could post a sign at your door stating that salesman and evangelists inquiring herein will be garroted, drawn and quartered and fed to our pet alligator.

three things I have tried... and that worked..... one place I lived I met them at the door the first time I saw them coming... I knew I would get "called on" because the neighbor warned me... I ment them at the door is a Prayer shawl and Yalmuca and told them I could not talk because it was my "Sabbath".... never was bothered at that place again



another time I met them twice at the door with a shotgun in my hand(NOT LOADED).... and just held it all the time they were talking.... just took two times......



The third time, different location... they were after my daughter because she had made the mistake of talking to one in school.... and even though they were told several times not "visit" they kept it up... I got my Lawyer to write a letter that then next time they came I would take legal action.... when they showed up I just handed them the letter and close the door without saying anything..... never heard from them again

2012-05-24 13:01:40 UTC
LOL, LOL.... dont answer the door!!! My neighbor is a Jehovah's witness, and i am a minister at my church ( non-denominational, used to be baptist) and when he and his troop begin walking down the street i stand there. They know who i am and what i profess but yet try to convert me. And i tell them if you are a "christian" and i am a christian why are you still trying to convert me.They are very angry with me all the time. sometimes i go in and close the door and dont answer even though they know I am there. They will stand on my doorstep for about 30 mins and I just start watching t.v or something till they go away.
2012-05-24 13:28:41 UTC
If you really don't want us calling round just ask to be put on the Do Not Call list and we will only come round once a year to check you still feel the same.

2012-05-24 12:57:30 UTC
Just tell them to put you on the no contact list ( so to speak)
2012-05-24 13:00:39 UTC
They are just followers. You have to call their church up on the phone and speak to their leader.



Tell him you have asked repeatedly and that if your phone call doesn't work you only next step is to call the police and kindly press charges for harassment.



What else can you do after you have exhausted all options?



Call the person in charge of them...that person probably has no idea that these people are bugging you. I'm sure that person will give ask them to stop.

2012-05-24 13:04:33 UTC
Dump some ice water on them. Oh, by the way, I had JWs living above me as new neighbors some years ago, and they brought over a watchtower magazine. So, I took it back and said "I'm Pentecostal". That did it! Obviously they had been outalked by the Pentecostals already so they were afraid of me. One thing that was funny, in order to keep from talking to me, the man came outside with a toothbrush in his mouth on the way to get something out of his car. lol
2012-05-24 13:03:43 UTC
It worked for me. Tell them that you prefer worship in the Devil. Scratch that idea, then. I suggest when the Salvation army come a calling accept their booklet, keep it handy, and when the JW's come again produce the other pamphlet and say that you will donate to their cause if they donate to your cause. If that does not work, tell them you will call the Police and make a complaint against them for harrassment
2012-05-24 13:08:06 UTC
Do what I do....if I don't know the person at the door, or I don't know the person who's ringing my phone, I simply don't answer it. Where does it say I have to answer the door, or phone everytime someone knocks or rings the bell?
2012-05-25 01:17:16 UTC

Ask them for the name and phone number of their church then call the church and tell them that if they keep coming to your house you will get a restraining order. They will put you on a do not bother list.
2012-05-24 12:53:55 UTC
Putting up a "No Witnessing!" sign on the driveway or front door sometimes helps dissuade them.

Tell them your Lucky Horseshoe is all the God you really need.



Tell them you'll show them yours if they'll show you theirs.



Tell them no thanks, that you gave up superstitions for Lent.



Tell them if they can prove that their religion is different than every other superstition you will gladly convert. Then reply "that is what all people who believe in superstitions say" every time they try to make a point.

They are not allowed to read literature from other religions.



Hand them a copy of any book other than a religious text.



Or hand them a religious text from another religion.



They will decline to read it.



Then tell them you will not discuss anything with them until they have read the book you are handing them.



They will leave.



But fear not, this is one of those cooky cults that will not stop even after you're dead...they'll indoctrinate you from the grave, even.

Jesus words:



Matthew 10:7 "As you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near."



Matthew 10:11 "“Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until you leave. 12 When you are entering into the house, greet the household; 13 and if the house is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you. 14 Wherever anyone does not take you in or listen to your words, on going out of that house or that city shake the dust off your feet"



Matthew 10:40 "and he that receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will get a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I tell you truly, he will by no means lose his reward"



Luke 16:14 Now the Pharisees, who were money lovers, were listening to all these things, and they began to sneer at him."



Why do you suppose Jesus was persecuted and why do you think he was made fun of and spat at?

He talked to others about the "good news of God's Kingdom". People did not want to hear it. He even asked the apostles if they too were going to leave him. Their reply was "where else would we go for you have the saying of everlasting life". So people during his time and in ours reject the message he has to give. So we do expect to happen. But we are not to let up for people do change and often times we have ones that stated they use to ridicule and now they want to learn the truth of the bible because of some life event that has changed their life. The apostles were persecuted and ridiculed as well in their ministry but they did not let up. Look at the life of Saul. He persecuted Jesus' disciples and was "witnessed to" through a vision and changed his life around and became Paul.



This work is hard. We have a compassion just like Jesus for all to learn the truth about God and his word the bible. We are not going to get all to listen but at least we are doing the work that we were commissioned to do. Matthew 28:19.



Galatians 6:9 "So let us not give up in doing what is fine, for in due season we shall reap if we do not tire out."



We do not want a rude person to come to the door. We are only seeking out the who wants to learn. If it bothers you that much and for the sake of my brothers and sisters that may be ill-treated, I rather for you to put up a sign that says "No proselyting" This shows you definitely are not interested. "No soliciting" will not do because we do not soliciting.



Thanks for asking.



EDIT: The answers on here and even from a Pastor are a reflection of the world we live in.



But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power.



Without love of goodness..and without self-control.



This is very sad.

Know who Jesus Christ is, tell them who He is and possibly change their minds for the benefit of their salvation.





Jesus Christ is God. The Word of God became a man on this earth by the miracle conception involving The Holy Spirit and through a normal birth, involving the woman Mary. Jesus came to the earth to die in our place for our sins to show us how much He loves us.



The scriptures bear abundant testimony that Jesus Christ is God. I believe the Bible 100%. It is the word of God. If we don't believe it, Jesus is of no effect to us and we are still in our sins."

-

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

--John 1:1-4, 14



"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED ON in the world, RECEIVED UP into glory."

--1 Timothy 3:16



"But unto the SON he saith, 'Thy throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom'...And, 'Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands."

-- Hebrews 1:8, 10



"I and my Father are ONE."

--Jesus Christ, John 10:30



"...CHRIST JESUS...being in the FORM OF GOD, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

--Philippians 2:5-8



"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE HOLY GHOST: and THESE THREE ARE ONE."

--1 John 5:7



"... feed the church of GOD, which he hath purchased with his OWN BLOOD."

--Acts 20:28



"Hereby perceive we the love of GOD, because he LAID DOWN HIS LIFE for us...

--1 John 3:16



"And they stoned Stephen, calling upon GOD, and saying, LORD JESUS, receive my spirit."

--Acts 7:59



"And Thomas answered and said unto him [JESUS], My Lord and MY GOD."

--John 20:28



"For unto us A CHILD IS BORN, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace."

--Isaiah 9:6



"Philip saith unto him, 'Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.' Jesus saith unto him, 'Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip? HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER; and how sayest thou then, 'Shew us the Father?''"

-- John 14:8-9



...CHRIST, who is the IMAGE OF GOD..."

--II Corinthians 4:4



"...glory of GOD in the FACE OF JESUS CHRIST."

--II Corinthians 4:6



"GOD...hath in these last days spoken unto us by his SON...who being the brightness of his glory, and the EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON..."

--Hebrews 1:1-3



Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

1:15 WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, the firstborn* of every creature:

1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;



*firstborn: pre-eminence in rank more than to priority in time. This can be shown in passages where the term 'firstborn' is used of the pre-eminent son who was not the eldest, e.g. Psalm 89:27, where David is called 'firstborn' although he was actually the youngest son.



"For in [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

-- Colossians 2:9



..they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US."

--Matthew 1:23



"The voice of him [John the Baptist] that crieth in the wilderness, PREPARE ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway FOR OUR GOD."

-- Isaiah 40:3



THESE PEOPLE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS WAS GOD AND THOUGHT HE BLASPHEMED WHEN HE TOLD THE TRUTH.

"The Jews answered [Jesus], saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."
