I have a friend that is a Jehovah and she told me that the *door step Jehovah* are only their to sell the magazine, not to push their religion onto anyone. She felt that JW's have a bad name because they do this *doorstep hard sell*. Shame as many JW's are lovely people.

Lyns I remember when I was a kid and my father got "trapped" by the Jehovah Witnesses. He couldn't say no either and I can be a bit like that too (hint! hint!).
We spent the next six months hiding behind the sofa every time the door bell went. It took a very angry and pissed off black woman, my mother, to finally scare them away.

A little update!
My gramps said I would be a coward if I just leave the book on the doorstep with a note :lol2:. So im gunna be all big and brave open the the door and say (which I should of just said in the first place) i'm very sorry i'm not interested in joining your bible study group and hand them back the bible study book :smug: all I need to do now is find the bluddy thing :giggle:
A friend of mine invted them in and after they had sat down said "it was lucky you didn't get here any earlier I have only just got in from the blood donor clinic" they got stuck with him for nearly an hour I think, until his wife returned and told him to let them go. They haven't knocked his door since
I really wish I could learn to say no I find it so hard...
For example today whilst going about my daily business at home some Jehovahs witnesses knocked on my door
While this thread has totally gone with your example of JW, I understand where you are coming from, this is just one example of a situation that you cant say no to.
I have Bi polar and it wasnt until a few years ago I had CBT (no not the bike test!) Cognuative Behaviour Therapy.
I still struggle at times, but it has taught me that I am not saying no to the person, but to to a situation.
I'm much better with a lot of situations now biggrin
Feel free to pm me if you want me to add to this :D
Tip 1.
Open the door holding a bloodied carving knife and before they even speak hand one of them a crucifix while saying 'pop this in the bin for me will you love, them christians are better at fighting back than i thought, i bloody knackered' wink
Tip 2.
Open the door (no knife required) and before they speak......
just shout 'FUCK OFF!!!!' at them :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Not a lot of help I know but...
A few years back a couple of these lovely people came a knocking on my door, me being half asleep having just got to bed after a night shift answered the door in me boxers.
Imagine my surprise and no small embarrassment to find two very attractive, well actually, drop dead gorgeous, in fact jaw droppingly hot babes standing on my doorstep wanting to come in and discuss their philosophy with me :shock:
I invited them in and as both of them seemed totally unphased by my state of undress, I relaxed and launched into an interesting theological debate.
Long story short they called twice more within a couple of weeks and in the end I just could not contain myself any further and blurted out how great it would be to have a 3sum with them redface
Needless to say they made their excuses and beat a hasty retreat. patting myself on the back for having found another cure for the dreaded doorstep JW's I was mortified to learn that the prettiest one turned out to be the daughter of neighbor but one just back from Uni surprisedops: :oops:
guess we reap what we sow :rascal:

funny this should be mentioned ...but mrs north might tell that story lol
One day when I had two hours, with little to do I invited them in. They came in by two, they always travel in couples.
So we sat down, I managed not to offer coffee. :twisted:
They came up with all their bits from the bible. I said in contradicts it's self. They said the contradictions proved the bible was right. After all, how many times do to two people remember the same thing.
They said that I should worship god.
I remember the day I stopped believing in a kind, benevolent god, and told them if their gods exists he is the last thing that I will praise and worship.
They left, and invited me to a local meeting hall.
Well there I was watching High School Musical for the second time this morning when there was a little rat a tat tat on the door, they were back after I had missed them last week!!.
I returned their book and explained that I was uninterested in their religion and that I was was happy ambeling through life without it.
They asked why and I told them that parts of the book they left me were in my opinion bollox (I didn't use the word bollox but can't think of a different word right now) especially the part where they will except no blood products!.
They think its a shame that I don't want any bible study lessons as they feel I have alot of unanswered questions... (I have an inquisitive mind). But I did it I said no thanks im not interested!. Oh and I also told them my mum would disown me if I joined their religion a little white lie never hurt anyone did it...!!!.
Well done Lyns kiss
I would still be hiding behind the sofa lol

Not all JW are like that :smile: My friend has had a number of operations throughout her life and all the family are JW,s. Depends on the family I think. My friend made her own mind up and her family supported her (she was 18 at the time).
I'd be no good joining the Jehovah's Witnesses, I didn't even see the accident.
So I take it I'm on my own in enjoying shocking them when they come to my door and having them walking away wondering if cold calling is really the best way to go about this?

I guess its the same with most religions, you pick out the bits that suit you??. The person who comes knocking my door said he had and would sign the documents so a member of his family could have a blood transfusion.
fun with the witnesses...........
prove to them we have to exist mathematically...not sure quite how this works but it's something to do with probabilities and dividing infinity by a finite no.(it's a long time since i was at school and the one time i remembered it properly and used it the poor buggers were stumped)
I saw the JW's round by us the other day so..........
I put a sign in the window that said
I Know Lyns
And guess what
They never knocked the door dunno

Regardless of whether or not some JW's do decide to go against their religion and allow whole blood transfusions, why on earth would you want to let people into your house who believe in monogamy and think that you, as a fornicator, will burn in hell? confused:
