Why won't they take a hint, I'm not interested, go forth and let me tinkereth in my garage. Seriously maybe I'm to polite, I think it stems from a few weeks back, answered the door still half asleep after night shift and took a booklet of them. Am I on a hit list now, can I complain to their boss?

Escalate it to the top - pray they don't come back.

Invite them in - they're not expecting it and you catch them off guard. Then you can try converting them.

Give them Woppit's number, tell them he's unsure of his views and will be wide open for conversion.

"So.... I understand that you people encourage polygamy?"
Then wink at the 50yo lady in the sensible shoes.

A polite 'thank you, but no thank you' and close the door.
Posted 2 years ago # -
As above - just say no thanks
No need to get bothered about itPosted 2 years ago # -
Remember, whether you believe or not, they are trying to do you a favour. All their door knocking is for our benefit really. What nice folk!

It's the fact that I politely decline and the still come back that bothers me, they seem like nice folk and they are entitled to their beliefs but I can see why people get anoyed by them.

Non-evidenced conjecture.

No need to be rude to anyone, but you can just politely yet firmly tell them you'r really not interested. If the same people come back, then you can ask them to stop harassing you, as you've already told them you're not going to become one of them.
I made the mistake of giving a pair of JWs a cup of tea, once, as it was pissing with rain outside. We had an interesting chat about Greed. Always good to discuss stuff with others.
After a good few Sundays, with them knocking on my door each time, I was reduced to waiting, trying to remain as quiet as possible, until they went away. I had the radio on one time, and the persistent buggers were out there for 15 minutes at least!
I think they've got the message now, they've not been round for a while..
(Cowers under the bed, terrified..)
Ah, they're ok. Just into their own thing, and feel the rest of us should be too. It's well meaning really.

molgrips do you really need to go nuclear so early.

That'll lead to the formation of a Militant Wing, for sure!

I have advised another thread, querying the advisability of a Scottish excursion, that at least they will be avoiding the midges, or as they are otherwise known, "molgrips's"...

Having known a couple of Jehovas Witnesses through work, there is an easy solution.
You simply request that they do not call again. They keep a list and apparently are quite careful to check before knocking.
We had them round a couple of times as the previous occupants were presumably quite chatty with them, the second time I said don't call again, since then I've seen them in the street but they always skip my door
Next doors just bangs the door shut and so keeps getting visited!

They've started drinking tea now?
Posted 2 years ago # -
invite them in one at a time, slaughter them, chop up into small pieces, flush down loo = won't be bothered again
Posted 2 years ago # -
get yourself one of these & you won't get bothered again by the JW's

Actually, come to think of it, one had a cup of hot water(??), and the other had a glass of cold water. I did offer them tea, and had a cup myself.
Aren't they supposed to drink tea then?

no - apparently it's a drug & that's waaaay bad

I just tell em I'm only still alive due to blood transfusions...therefore if I'd been a JW I wouldn't be stood talking to them...and my cute kids(their words) wouldn't have been born!
Couple of twins being brought up locally without their mum...died cos refused blood after childbirth couple of years ago...feel very sorry their dad thought sticking to his beliefs was more important than letting them grow up with a mum

Ahh, that'll be why one of my colleagues wouldn't drink Coke, though the other did he was a bit less fanatical.

Wear tin foil wrapped around your head when you answer the door, explain you hear voices in your head when you take it off. Start taking it off......

Just set molgrips on them. He'll chase them down the street and just keep on going, and going, and going...

Will try spookys advice, if that don't work I'll give molgrips a call!

Just answer the door naked with a pentacle drawn on your chest (preferably in blood) and invite them in.
It'd be great if you could rig some pyrotecnics around your front door frame to ignite when you open the door too.

Actually, I think you'd do a far better job, Woppit!

They came to my house and after a chat for 5 mins over the garden gate, they declared I was too cynical to waste a copy of the Watchtower on. So they gave me a pamphlet about how science proved god's existance, so I told them I'd read it and they could come back for an in depth discussion. I'm still waiting
Posted 2 years ago # -
I would tell them firmly once to stop bothering me - if they came backa gain I would be very rude indeed.
its bang out of order.

Just check out their wikipedia entry to see what they really think about the rest of us and what they beleive , it's very scary!! especially for a religeon thats only a couple of hundred years old.

Ask them how 1.2m JWs (approx.) are going to argue the toss over the 144,000 available places in their paradise.
Do the math.
