Creepy missionaries show up at my home, having researched us and what foreign language to use. As they leave they comment on the things they see in the garage.
When my brother and I were in our teens, Jehovahs Witnesses targeted our home and started showing up very early every Saturday morning. All of my family liked to sleep in on the weekend so these unwanted visits were really annoying. They would keep pounding on the door until my dad got up and answered the door. He told them multiple times to not come back but they kept sending different people in the hopes of wearing him down. Finally, one Friday night dad told us that if they showed up the next morning to stay in our rooms no matter what we heard. They showed up, pounded on the door and dad was ready for them. We heard dad say in a very loud voice that he was finally ready to talk to them and he invited them in. Then we heard the front door close and dad was busting a gut laughing. A few minutes later he told us we could come out of our rooms and find out what had happened. Turns out dad answered the front door butt naked. They never came back.
@@kathleenpoole1372 Thanks! He really should have been a stand up comedian. He passed away in January 2019 and I still miss him and his hilarious sense of humour every day.
Jw did the same to me,one Saturday I opened the door with my shotgun slung over my shoulders (pretty much naked) and asked of they wanted to meet the maker... never came back after that.
You want to scare them away. Otherwise they'll keep bothering you. I remember one salesman (I think it was for some lawn care business or other) who came to the front door. I ignored it, but them he went around to the back door and started knocking there.
Just because I’m home doesn’t mean I have to answer the door. I find it baffling that there’s an expectation for a person to respond to a knock or doorbell.
Jehovah Witnesses knocked on our door every weekend. My mother told them firmly that their message wasn't welcome as she had her own beliefs. They didn't respect her wishes. One summer day she was baking in a hot kitchen, with her hands were covered in flour. We heard the knock. My mother was exasperated, she threw white flour all over her face and body, ran to the door, flung it open, and waved her apron around the top of her head. She shouted at them 'I am the devil'. You have never seen people run so fast. We never saw them again.
@@evies1050 look how invasive these people are ! They’re just waiting there as if they don’t believe someone is not home. I swear I think if they did that to me I would sic my dog on them.👹
I got tired of johovahs witnesses so one day I invited them in. When they asked what they could do for me, I said I haven’t had sex in a while. They left in a hurry 😂 nothing like a gay man telling straight people that your fake horny 😂 at least I don’t have solicitors anymore 😂
I used to tell them that I didn't need another religion in my house bc my husband was Catholic, my children were Jewish & I was Baptist. They always made a hasty retreat 😂
We had JW come to our home repeatedly in the Dallas, TX area and finally my husband stepped out on our front porch, told them before we all talked that he needed to pray for them, to the true Jehovah Jesus Christ. They immediately said, no, please sir, don't do that. He told them (very nicely & with respect) that they were on our property and we could pray to the Lord all we wanted to. He began praying out loud, thanking the Lord for protecting us, for being the Great Jehovah Jesus Christ, etc. They quickly left and walked up the street (3 women with several children) and about 5 minutes later a large sedan car drove by, filled with the women, children and two men. They pointed out the window of the car at our house as if saying, never go here again! They never came back.
These days you know who's knocking on your door...email,text,phone,letter...you will be told of anything important....if you hear a knockn keep on rockn....
I lived in a 2 storey house. Downstairs had two roller doors and a door next to it. That door just led to the garage where none of us were. We were upstairs. Everyone we didn't know knocked on the wrong door. It was like a undercover front door.
One Saturday morning in December, a couple of JW's came to our door. I'm a night person and I like to sleep in on the weekends, while my wife is more of a daytime person. She was already up, but I was still in bed. I heard the doorbell ring, the doorbell open, some chatter that I either couldn't make out or simply wasn't paying attention to, and then the door closing. A minute later, she comes running upstairs and into the bedroom, laughing so hard that she was in tears. She told me who was at the door, and how she didn't want to be rude to them, but didn't really feel like talking to them either. So without thinking, she told them we were Jewish. To their credit, they left and never came to the door again, but I have to wonder if they actually believed her, considering the wooden reindeer in the yard, the lights all over the front of the house, the wreath on the door, and the 7-foot pine tree in the living room.
An old girlfriend of mine, her Dad did that. These 2 elderly JW ladies would come to the house every 6 weeks, like clockwork. After the naked stunt, they never came back! LOL
One time, when my little, old, sweet, funny Irish mom was living with us, I came home home........to a living room full of Jehovah Witnesses. 😨😨😨. The living room was spread out with cups of tea, cookies and biscuits. We're Catholic. 😂😂😂
Back when my friends and I were in our late teens we seen a crew of witnesses coming down the street. We were into Dungeons and Dragons role play and had a whole pile of a variety of stuff that we would buy at the weekend trade center shows. So when the two ladies and a man showed up at the door, my friend said to them "We are pleased to meet you we have been waiting your arrival, please step into the center of the living room." We were all dressed in our heavy burlap hooded robes standing around a large pentagram design made on the floor with white rope with a candle burning at the tip of each triangle. The look on their faces was historic. One lady gasped and they turned away faster than a walk but not quite a run. They skipped the rest of the homes on the street. Unfortunately this was in the early 80's before even hand held VCR recorders were common.
My father would tell them that he was staying with his religion cause only so many of them would go to heaven. And in his religion everyone could go. Lol
We once had some jehovah witnesses start walking up our driveway and I shouted out the kitchen window "Get the f#uck off my property or I will let the dogs out!" They left. My two mini dachshunds were disappointed.
@@jedburnell9046 Sounds like a good idea, the kids don't need to feel any worse than they already do, being somewhere and doing something they most likely don't want to do In my head, the 18+'s are free game to scare and make fun of Like the time I offered them food because they looked homeless (sidenote: I DO offer food to the local homeless people, but i was quite hungover/drunk/tired, so I didn't get their intent) Also, a LGBT+ flag in the entrance will greatly annoy some of them, whether you are in that society or not, because "it doesn't follow their ideals"
They both speak Japanese knocked the door saying "hello" "excuse me". This guy was saying to her in Japanese that it would record in about 30 seconds. Sounds like they know that the house owner is Japanese. They might be Jehovah's missioners.
JW's are hard to get rid of. Once in an old neighborhood I lived in It was a Saturday morning about 7:00am. I was sitting on a beautiful park bench outside my porch with my coffee enjoying my morning. This was in 2012 and we had an iron gate with a lock on it and we lived on a court. Well, I seen 4 ladies being dropped off at the corner of my street with 2 men with brief cases. The ladies were going house to house that early in the morning. No one answered the door and here they come walking my way because they see me. One very aggressive woman began rattling my gate trying to get inside to speak to me. I kept drinking my coffee watering my grass. Then the aggressive woman kept saying to me ma'am let me in I'd like to talk with you. I ignored her and kept drinking my coffee. So I think she became upset because I wouldn't talk to her. So.... she proceeded to take about 20 of her shitty jw hand booklets and toss them over the gate on my lawn. She was mad at that point. I walked over there and picked up the booklets that were soaked in water and tore them up in piece's then gave them to her. I told her if she needed to be cooled off I could spray her with the garden hose. She left quickly with her hand books but not without a good spray from me. I don't care, she deserved it and had it coming😤 Those people are like a disease you can't get rid of.
They asked me if I read the Bible, and I said yes, it's my favorite book. It has murder, incest, UFOs, giants, magic, sex and.... I couldn't finish because they hastily retreated and never came back...
I actually had my husband put barricade across bottom of 1000ft long driveway. They would climb over and walk to house to sell their religion. Really annoying
As kids, we used to get "missionaries" selling Watchtower at our home nearly every Saturday morning during cartoon time. Our Modus Operandi was to strip off our pajamas and answer the door in our underwear - they didn't stick around very long
One day my daughter was so absolutely sick of them coming to our door at the butt ass crack of dawn they rang the bell and she got out of bed and threw the door open so fast they didn’t have a chance to say shit and she screams in their face I LOVE CHRISTMAS 🎅 and promptly slams the door and goes back to bed. You know it has been well over 12 years and not one has ever came back to our home! I guess she got us BLACK LISTED True story. Tired frustrated teen saved our weekends!!!
😂😂😈😈👺👺I did that when I was like 12. Some Jehovah's witnesses came over. My parents worked, so it was just my brother and me, home for the weekend I made my voice as deep as possible and yelled "this is the house of Satan"!! They just laughed it off, put a little booklet in the doorcrack and walked away.
This used to happen to me all the time. JWs would come direct to my door because my last name (married name) is Spanish. Then my Caucasian face would open the door and tell them I don't speak Spanish. Then they would send someone who spoke English and I would speak only Spanish. Eventually I got tired of being interrupted so I put a sign on my front door and now they leave me/us alone.
When we lived in an apartment complex one of our neighbors threw a bucket of water on some persistent JWs that wouldn’t leave her alone when she was cleaning her patio.
I've had local JW in my neighborhood and they've NEVER been a problem.They've always been polite when I've told I wasn't interested.On the other hand I had a real problem with Calvinists.When I told them I was an atheist they threw a fit and refused to leave until I threatened to call the cops.
My father in law would invite witnesses and other religious groups into his house quickly ask them to sit down before they could take in their surroundings fully. He would then grab a book from the shelf and sit down himself. It would then start to dawn on them whose house they had just walked into. The piano in the corner the photos of a man with a dog collar on and my father in law opening the bible he'd just picked up and asking them to talk to him about God. It's funny as they always seemed to make their excuses and make a very hasty retreat. He was a minister with nearly 10 years of university studies and 40 years services to the church under his belt which always seemed to unnerve them 😁😁😁😁
@@erict956 Don't be too concerned. I was brought up in the Baptist church and our pastors wear collared shirts and ties. If you want to be concerned about anything I guess it should be why I thought it had something to do with S&M
@@jcrefasi1 no trust me that was my concern lol. It's just another name for a clerical collar. It's more prevalent in the Anglican, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic churches.
I gated my driveway with a locked fence perimeter to prevent any uninvited individual from even getting to my door. Works so well , no peddlers neighbors , religious zealots , thieves, the whole deal kept at the sidewalk and away from my doors. If I want someone at my door, they are invited to be there and will have access.
They're probably from soka gakkai, its a Buddhist religion here in the states that will sometimes go door to door like some other faiths with missionaries. They're alright people, I've met a few and spoke Japanese with them to practice from time to time at my boring retail job. They're not as aggressive with getting you to join the cause as some other religious movements, but they'll press it from time to time.
When visiting my friend we noticed jw across the street, I told her when they get to this side ask them in. My friend knew I practice Buddhism, I told her I could counter anything they said. They show up, she ask them in, they sit down n I say “well I have to go go, see you later” The look on my friends face was priceless, she knew she had been had. I laughed all the way home.
Imagine being a religious solicitor being met at the door by a lady with a python (alive) around her body. Si's was cleaning her snakes cage when interrupted by 2 women, who backstepped then ran to their car. Never was bothered again..the little heathen!
@@sparkplug1018 I think it's an instinct thing, but they are also very negatively portrayed in the Bible Also, pythons are neither poisonous or that dangerous to humans, so I find it sad that they're portrayed as bad/dangerous animals
What can be resisted and suppressed in unrighteousness, even though there is evidence, does not nullify the eternal truth! It is not a matter of a lack of evidence..... it is a matter of the sinner's suppression of the evidence! Sinners suppress the truth of their God given conscience in unrighteousness because of a love for sin and a hatred for God. *"An atheist cannot find God for the same reason that a criminal cannot find a police officer!"*
I try to be respectful of a person's faith or religion. However, Jehovah Witnesses who come to my neighborhood are very rude. I had a family who practically camped out on my porch waiting for me to come out. The lady had a whole bunch of children, one she was holding. I answered truthfully that I am getting dressed to go to work and that I wasn't interested. She said that she would wait for me to come out and they all sat on my porch furniture. I was already late for work and I zoomed past them so fast that I cannot remember locking both doors. I thought that was rude.
@Debbie I was too angry to react. The pandemic didn't stop the harassment. Our mailboxes are bombarded with handwritten letters from them. The letters are so personal, it's like they watch our homes or something. The neighborhood is not amused.
@@diva70smusic tell them to get off your property and do not return, or do not contact me again, and then continue with trespassing or harassment charges if repeated. That's super shady of them, and rude
Oh yeah if you tell them your not interested and they still camp out on your property.then it's time to call the police to get the people to leave. a town I use to live in different religions would show up at my home. I got to a point I just wouldn't answer the door anymore.
@@moonxshakti I will if there is a next time. I was just so angry that day and running late for work. That weekend I cleaned all the furniture off my front porch 😤!
Post a sign and turn the dog loose, worked every time. The one time one got persistent and decided to assault the dog, quickly left with a small donation after the rifle came out. Just because you can find my home doesn't mean I want you there. If someone needs my help I'm happy to give it to those in need, but otherwise, they can stay the hell off my lawn.
Haha I live in a house with three big dogs. I don't even gotta open the door or tell someone to leave. the dogs will bark and half the time they leave. I live in Florida and I've got to the point unless I'm expecting you or know the person the door doesn't open. so many solicitors and criminals. i won't even open the door or leave it unlocked these days it's just not safe.
I fell victim to this . They are persistent. Finally I stop answering the door and at one time, I accidentally answer the doorbell, I told them I was sick and immediately they got scared , thinking I had Covid cause I was coughing. I was actually having an asthma attack. After that, nobody shows up at my door anymore😂😂😂
@@peachygal4153 WTH 😂Are you upset with my comment?? 😊The people who came to my door were from some kind of religious group. I don’t see any benefit of me lying . The only person that will most likely get affected with this are people doing solicitation 😂 This is common in the residential area where I live .
Just say... i got covid, but i will be right there! With everyone using it for an excuse anyway,it seems the perfect opportunity to get rid of the door peddlers 😊
Jehovah's Witness are not going door to door since the start of covid. Jehovah's know the doors when not to visit. It is a "do not work." Once this house is marked before they knock. Please tell the truth.
I had an employee once who absolutely HATED being woken from his sleep on Sundays by Jehovah's Witnesses. So one day, having had enough of it, he gave them something to truly "witness": he came buck naked directly from bed to the door, flung it open, and said "What the hell do YOU want?" They stopped.
The JWs came to my door and asked if I am ready to find the true God. I said, I have never lost him. Did they need help finding him? I have never seen people looking so confused in my life. I was quickly given a book and they left. 🤣
I answered the door one time and there they were ,two women telling me it was the end of the world. I started celebrating in front of them, one woman asked me what do I think about the trees and plants surviving. I answered don't worry it's the end of the world no one cares we get to meet our maker. She kept pushing it and I kept in a spiritual party mode to forget the plants and the trees God will take care of it. Another response I gave her was no more taxes no more mortgage no more cars no more pain in the ass people. Her response to me was you must be a Christian. My response was hell no I'm a Catholic. They never ever came back. They walk the neighborhood but it seems like they know not to knock on my door. I'm waiting for the same to to come back so I can ask them why they lied in Jesus's name that the world was over. That was fourteen years ago those two witnesses lied.
@@Mercenary66649 Everyone believes in something. I am proud believer in Jesus and His word and if that makes me a 'bible thumper', then so be it. It won't affect your oxygen intake
@@Mercenary66649 if you notice, the main common denominator of all religions is narcissism to the max. They ALL will try to sell some form of immortality and being the only ones who will be saved. It appeals to narcissistic people who want to feel “special” at someone else’s expense. That’s why they need “the devil.” It makes them look “good.” 🤷🏻♀️
You're hilarious :-) I've had a rookie mormon missionary leave my doorstep in tears, that was a good day. I had to get inside to check on the news whether the digs on the Great Plains have turned up any of those metal chariot wheels yet... a fellow Catholic.
@@Mercenary66649 hi. Sorry fot your troubles. Yes it is as close as anyone one can get to the real bible. Only god and the apostles know of how old it is. Plus a real bible would require me to learn a different language. F y i , it was written in a different language thousands of years ago. It is better to have faith then need it and not have it
Next time a bible thumper knocks on my door I'm going to answer the door naked (I'm a 6ft 2in Black guy, for visualization purposes) & wait calmly for their reactions like I do this naturally
We had a Jehovah witness family up the road from us. Their religion says they have to go door to door with pamphlets about their church.. They came about once a month and gave us their literature, then left. We always knew it was them because they were the only ones that used our front door. They didn't lecture, just handed us the literature, we said thank you and they left. Nothing wrong with being kind to your neighbors.
Finally, someone being kind to Jehovah's Witnesses. They are doing what they believe they are supposed to do. And no, they don't knock on your door at 6 or 7 a.m. A lot of these comments are from people exaggerating. I suppose a lot of you consider yourself to be Christian. If so, you should be ashamed of yourselves for treating others in such a manner.
We I was a kid a J.W came by my parents house and my dad was in the garage. My dad was polite at first and exchanged a few words. My dad told the guy please I'm not interested on your subject and leave my driveway and my dad walked away and the guy followed my dad. My dad told firmly in you enter my garage and you will be lucky to leave here in Ambulance. If not I'm digging a hole for you. The guy left in a hurry. My dad is big burly tattoo and mountain of a man. He will tell you the situation bluntly.
We had lazy ones in my neighborhood, they'd knock on the door and give you about 2 seconds to answer then they were off to the next house! I guess they had stuff to do on a Saturday too!
The ones I met mostly just seemed like they were obligated to spend a certain amount of time doing their chore of dropping off the their magazines.i guess they are off the hook once the magazines are gone because one sweet older lady just gave me her entire handful and then she had that look of relief that now her day belongs to her now,I really felt sorry for her that she got into that trap
I dont know why people get all hot and bothered by relious visitors knocking on doors. I dont want to talk to them anymore than the next house but the solution is stupid simple. Just put up a NO TRESPASSING sign and they'll avoid your house....Its the law. NO SOLICITING signs wont work because technically they aren't solicitors if they arent asking for money and selling a legally recognized commercial product/service.
Just gives you the ability to call the cops. Believe me, they keep coming. I have a no soliciting, no trespassing and beware of dog signs, they're a pair of huge knuckle heads, but very lovable if they like you, but still. And they still come! Apparently I need to hear the good word more is their logic. You'd think after being told numerous times to piss off, and having a few encounters with 2 huge dogs through a fence would be enough to convince them, but nope!
@@sparkplug1018 - If they are Jehovahs Witnesses you can simply ask them to be placed on a "do not call list" for how ever many years (be specific). Obviously, there's no need to be impolite...just be be clear and firm. They dont want to intentionally waste time talking to people that are uninterested so you're doing them a favor by doing so. But JWs are trained to avoid houses with "No Tresspassing" signs because its the law. If they arent JWs then I guess you're on your own. Good luck.
@@__-pl3jg You’re not the first to say that, and if it were anyone else I’d agree. These guys though, don’t know what it is, got the signs, told them put me on the list, encounters with 2 160 pound dogs, threats. Either the ones in my area are the most ambitious or the dumbest.
I have a sign that we are not interested in solicitors and faith bringers, we have no problem anymore. Besides from kids that sell stuff for their school or clubs. They are mostly to exited or to small to read or understand what it says. We don't mind them.
It's appalling to see solicitors for religions, politicians, people asking to contribute $30.000.00 to complete their Coffee House Business or others wanting cash to "help" students go to college when nobody gave me a penny to send my child to college! All these people seem to miss my black and white in their faces NO SOLICITING sign! Wow!
I have one myself. It drives me crazy that I inevitably hear back "But, I'm not selling anything". You're trying to get something out of me, that's soliciting. Soliciting isn't just about sales. You're too thoughtless for me to want to speak with you.
Deputy Bad Ass, They view themselves as "Religious Pioneers" so maybe write that in black shipping marker on a piece of photocopy paper and tape it to the bottom of your No Soliciting sign. See if they honour that statement. If not, have at 'em.
I have Jehovah’s Witness people come to my door from time to time. I just leave them standing there. They usually move on quickly. They are supposed to keep track of those who didn’t respond. During the pandemic they wrote me twice. Don’t know how they got my name. They haven’t resumed their knocking on doors yet.
Reading the comments makes me wonder, as an ex JW, if the person they are calling on is a JW who's "faded". The brothers and sisters will pester you saying they're "worried" about you, so if they are JW's they've gone there with an agenda. If that doesn't work the elders rock up to do a "shepherding" call and try to gaslight and guilt trip you, asking inappropriate questions, people laugh as the JWs but it's no laughing matter. The WT organisation is a high control cult and they don't want anyone waking up to them and telling others what they've learnt, you're labelled an "apostate" and your friends and family will "shun" you, they destroy families. If they were JW's that explains their persistence and why they know what language to speak - if that person is a JW who's waking up I wish them luck, leaving the organisation has cost me everything but the freedom I've gained has been worth it.
@@angelahenderson5460 No, sounds right. Good friend of mine, successful...they got ahold of his wife. Telling her to divorce him, etc... he told local potentates "I'll sue you forever...or leave my marriage alone and I'll occasionally help w/ $ for a new roof or asphalt for your parking lot..." They were so concerned about his soul, they took the deal. Wife goes to their stupid church, but nobody tells her to divorce him....they leave him the F alone. He DID pay for that asphalt job about 2 years ago....They're like the mob.
My Grandfather was a prankster. One day he noticed Jehovah's Witnesses in the neighborhood. So, he put on a Jewish Yamaka (He was not Jewish) and waited... they knocked, he answered, they asked if he would read their literature, he pulled out a Torah and said "I'll read yours if you'll read mine"... they left and never came back.
I grew up as a witness. I decided at 13 I no longer wanted to practice. My parents didn’t stop loving me or treat me any different. I never missed out on things like dressing up for costume parties as a kid during that spooky time of year. In fact one year I wanted to be a character from Harry Potter and my mom made my costume. I got gifts year around. I was allowed to have friends over for my birthday although my parents would just call it a get together. My mom went door to door before the pandemic and I know they do it as part of what they believe in “sharing the word of God” She was always respectful if someone was not interested. She does not preach to me as she knows I am a more spiritual person after studying religion in college. To this day as an adult members of my parents congregation ask how I’m doing always and wish me well. My husband is agnostic and my parents love him like he was their own. I’ve been approached by witnesses before and they just ask how I’m doing hand me a flyer and walk away. I hear all these stories of witnesses being crazy/bad/cult etc and I personally never experienced anything close to this especially as someone who was raised in that faith walked away and has a great relationship with my family.
I had a visit, and when they started to quote what was in the Bible, I pulled out my Bible and pointed out the difference between what they said and what was actually in the Bible - Book, chapter, and verse. After the third try, they stepped back and said, “You know your Bible!” I invited them to my church to learn more. They never returned to my house again -5 years and counting.
In North Carolina we use to get Mormons and the like showing up on our door all the time. My mother is Southern Baptist and I am athiest so neither of us cared to talk to them, so I put up a sign that said "Solicitors will be shot, survivors will be shot again." Had a few obviously think the sign was a joke and knocked, I showed up to the door with a 12 gauge pump shotgun in hand and cocked it and politely said "Yes?" They suddenly turned pale white and said sorry they had the wrong address and scurried off the property, never heard from them again! (Don't worry the shotgun was unloaded)
We lived in the neighborhood behind a JW church and almost every Saturday they would come by.. I put up no sol. signs etc.. i think that worked for most sol.. that is one thing i hated about living in the city.. (we live on a farm now) every day always a knock or doorbell ring.. bad for afternoon nappers (kids).. so we just uninstalled our doorbell..
I never open my door to anybody unless I'm expecting somebody. Amazing to me how these religious people think the "No Solicitors" sign doesn't apply to them, and, they will stand at your door 10 minutes. Why? I don't care if you know I'm home or not. It's my prerogative whether or not I open my house door. I don't care if you pull up a chair and sit there for half a day, I'm still not opening that door.
Why don't you open the door and tell them to leave? When they don't immediately leave, call the police - they are trespassing as soon as you tell them to leave the property if they don't immediately leave.
@@JustHazardous Because some people pose as religious people, just to have you open the door. I don't want to open my door. It's my house , I don't have to open my door, speak to anybody that's not invited to my house. They want you to open the door, you don't know if they have a weapon. Just because they carry a Bible, doesn't mean they're not con people. Use your head, these days nothing is like it seems, period. Plus, they're disturbing me in the privacy of my home. You see the ''No solicitors" sign, abide by it. I worked all my life, my at home time is my at home time, time to relax, not jump up and answer the door or answer phone scammers. I shouldn't have to call police, you are trespassing on my property without my permission.
I don't get many solicitors, but I think I'd like to make enough noise inside to let them know I was home, and just ignore them. My dog would probably be barking, too.
I know we have freedom of religion, but it should be illegal to try to solicit people to join your religion or church. I am Christian, and NEVER will I impose my religious beliefs nor religion on others who didn't ask for it. In my opinion, you shouldn't go door to door recruiting people for your church stuff. If someone wants to be a Christian, Catholic, Jewish, they can choose themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses are annoying as fuck. Trespassing. I just say I'm already familiar with God, and don't prefer to divulge information about my personal religion. Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day, regardless. And shut the door in their faces.
My son was very interested in the Bible when he was younger. But now he has a different Outlook. when JW knocks on our door he goes outside and stands on the porch and debates the Bible with them for 45 minutes. I don't know why he does this but I think it's just to waste their time and for his amusement. Lol
I had an off season Halloween party in February. Great black & silver streamers & I found great evil looking stuff to hang from the ceiling like skeletons, nooses etc. The party was a blast & went on into the morning. Someone rang my bell at 6am. I saw it was the JW's. So of course being up all night my vampire make up was running & my hair was a fright. Thete were several people crashed out all over the room. So I grabbed my cat (black) so she wouldn't scoot out the door. Marilyn Manson playing in the background. I whipped open the door & asked them in for cocktails. They turned & ran as fast as they could! 🤣😈💀👻
And insane .....as an ex witness ,I can assure you that what they did was rude .....What kind of point we're they trying to prove ?...We really care ?😅🤪😅🤪
@@__seeker__ do yourself a favor ....check out NON PROFIT organizations in the United States ....They made 3 and a half trillion dollars last year .....The YMCA made 8 plus billion .....We are being jerked around
My teenage son sorted the Jehovah's Witnesses out real quick. All you have to do is answer the door in your undies with a double bladed axe on your shoulder. Seven years later and they've never tried again.
My Dad would invite them to get a perspective of why they believe what they believed. Mom would get so mad about it. I give them credit for going door to door to try and spread their lies. But when people say no, then they should respect that and leave. I know what the Truth is,apparently they were taught wrong.
We usedcto wait for them to get close to the front door & remotely turn the sprinklers on full blast. This was after several weeks of telling them to stay away & posting beware of dog & no trespassing signs.
I was involved with this cult when I was in my teens. Stay away! Tell them you're an apostate and they will turn around and run. As demonstrated in the video, they will hang around for a long time for someone to answer the door.
I told jehovah's witnesses that I'd love to talk about religion with them, but right now I'm busy in the backyard sacrificing a goat. Haven't seen them in 30 years.
I got a knock on my door one Friday night at 2200ish…. I answered door like all normal people would do at that hour - with my 12 guage, semi-auto, 10rnd bullpup…. funny we don’t get too many visitors anymore….
When we Lived IN GA{ Military fam} Our Neighbors Had a BIGGGGG Mastiff Pitbull Mix . Named Scarface. { Think Uses a Basketball as a toy big} He was Brindle and all Muscle and the sweetest Big marshmallow . The Neighbors had college age children who Moved Back Home. The Kids would always sleep very Late. We would Have these Baptist Old ladies always trying to tell Us to come to thier church, Our Halloween decorations Mean we are going to hell Bla Bla Bla. Every saturday at 8 and 9. Well they went Next door and Mom and dad were On vacation. Poor Scar Had to go Potty soooo Bad . Guy goes to open door and didn't even think about scar .. who Burst through the door out to the front Yard and Lifted his Leg for a good min to 2. the Old ladies in all thier church finery { Hat and gloves and all} took off running down the road to escape the wild beast who was just standing watering the tree in the front yard. I almost Peed Myself the Guy who Let scar out was laughing and the church Ladies Never Came Back to tell Us we are going to Hell. I guess they thought we already Has our Hellhound LOL
Wouldn’t it be fun to solicit a solicitor!!? Like hey come in... boy do I have some shit to sell you! And you must listen to my pitch before I listen to yours... and take up like 2 hrs of their time! Though, I can only dream of that... as I don’t hVe the time in real life.
I was cleaning my garage when some mormons showed up and offered to help so I was like yeah sure. They hungout and helped for about an hour, they didn't convert me but they were alright dudes.
Ive done something similar before. While working on my project car they walked up to the garage with their pitch. I just listened patiently, and when there was an opening I started trying to sell them everything in the garage. Now look I know this car doesn't run right now, but she's a sweet car to have, sure you're not interested? After about 5 min of not letting them get a word in they left and haven't been back.
They kept coming to my friends house during the day and waking him up. He worked the night shift. He had told them several times that he wasn’t interested and not to come back and they were waking him up. One day he was taking a shower and the doorbell rang. He peeked out the window and saw it was them. He opened the door, totally naked and said “what!!”. They didn’t come back. Personally I would have thought it would be funnier if he invited them in while naked!!!
People come to my door that I don't know. I just don't answer it. The 'I'm in a meeting" comes in real handy. The most common solicitor in my neighborhood is the pest control guy. He's come by several times and I've said no thank you several times.
When my brother and I were in our teens, Jehovahs Witnesses targeted our home and started showing up very early every Saturday morning. All of my family liked to sleep in on the weekend so these unwanted visits were really annoying. They would keep pounding on the door until my dad got up and answered the door. He told them multiple times to not come back but they kept sending different people in the hopes of wearing him down. Finally, one Friday night dad told us that if they showed up the next morning to stay in our rooms no matter what we heard. They showed up, pounded on the door and dad was ready for them. We heard dad say in a very loud voice that he was finally ready to talk to them and he invited them in. Then we heard the front door close and dad was busting a gut laughing. A few minutes later he told us we could come out of our rooms and find out what had happened. Turns out dad answered the front door butt naked. They never came back.
Apparently the JW's keep a list of addresses that they're to avoid. LOL!
40 years ago a dog we had JAKE bit a j.w. who came into our yard They never came back..
Lol I like your Dad!! Great idea!
@@kathleenpoole1372 Thanks! He really should have been a stand up comedian. He passed away in January 2019 and I still miss him and his hilarious sense of humour every day.
Jw did the same to me,one Saturday I opened the door with my shotgun slung over my shoulders (pretty much naked) and asked of they wanted to meet the maker... never came back after that.
Just don’t answer the door, that’s one of the benefits of having ring doorbell
Just say I'm a son of Harry Warden Jason Voorhees and Damion. 😁😁😁🙋🙋🙋🦃
You want to scare them away. Otherwise they'll keep bothering you. I remember one salesman (I think it was for some lawn care business or other) who came to the front door. I ignored it, but them he went around to the back door and started knocking there.
Just because I’m home doesn’t mean I have to answer the door. I find it baffling that there’s an expectation for a person to respond to a knock or doorbell.
Jehovah Witnesses knocked on our door every weekend. My mother told them firmly that their message wasn't welcome as she had her own beliefs. They didn't respect her wishes. One summer day she was baking in a hot kitchen, with her hands were covered in flour. We heard the knock. My mother was exasperated, she threw white flour all over her face and body, ran to the door, flung it open, and waved her apron around the top of her head. She shouted at them 'I am the devil'. You have never seen people run so fast. We never saw them again.
That’s a lie
My brother used to pretend like he was from Mars and gave them a wild eyed look! Very humorous!
OMG these stories are hilarious. I do believe you and Marie have tapped into something super funny; creative ways to 'just say no' to JWs. 😂

We had JW come to our home repeatedly in the Dallas, TX area and finally my husband stepped out on our front porch, told them before we all talked that he needed to pray for them, to the true Jehovah Jesus Christ. They immediately said, no, please sir, don't do that. He told them (very nicely & with respect) that they were on our property and we could pray to the Lord all we wanted to. He began praying out loud, thanking the Lord for protecting us, for being the Great Jehovah Jesus Christ, etc. They quickly left and walked up the street (3 women with several children) and about 5 minutes later a large sedan car drove by, filled with the women, children and two men. They pointed out the window of the car at our house as if saying, never go here again! They never came back.
I don't answer my door for people I know, these guys have zero chance of getting to talk to me!
LOL
These days you know who's knocking on your door...email,text,phone,letter...you will be told of anything important....if you hear a knockn keep on rockn....
I, too, am a hermit....
Ohh yes we will. 😉

I just don't open the door to unexpected company.
Never answer the door to unexpected company. NEVER.
I lived in a 2 storey house. Downstairs had two roller doors and a door next to it. That door just led to the garage where none of us were. We were upstairs. Everyone we didn't know knocked on the wrong door. It was like a undercover front door.
I don't even answer my phone if I don't know who it is.
You'd be surprised how fast a full auto paintball gun will get rid of them
One Saturday morning in December, a couple of JW's came to our door. I'm a night person and I like to sleep in on the weekends, while my wife is more of a daytime person. She was already up, but I was still in bed. I heard the doorbell ring, the doorbell open, some chatter that I either couldn't make out or simply wasn't paying attention to, and then the door closing. A minute later, she comes running upstairs and into the bedroom, laughing so hard that she was in tears. She told me who was at the door, and how she didn't want to be rude to them, but didn't really feel like talking to them either. So without thinking, she told them we were Jewish. To their credit, they left and never came to the door again, but I have to wonder if they actually believed her, considering the wooden reindeer in the yard, the lights all over the front of the house, the wreath on the door, and the 7-foot pine tree in the living room.
Just answer the door naked, with a beer in your hand...and/or a bong. That's what I used to do.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
An old girlfriend of mine, her Dad did that. These 2 elderly JW ladies would come to the house every 6 weeks, like clockwork. After the naked stunt, they never came back! LOL
and suggest a 3some
And a rat on your shoulder.
And porn playing loudly
One time, when my little, old, sweet, funny Irish mom was living with us, I came home home........to a living room full of Jehovah Witnesses. 😨😨😨. The living room was spread out with cups of tea, cookies and biscuits. We're Catholic. 😂😂😂
Hell, I hide from people I *DO* know! 😂
Back when my friends and I were in our late teens we seen a crew of witnesses coming down the street. We were into Dungeons and Dragons role play and had a whole pile of a variety of stuff that we would buy at the weekend trade center shows. So when the two ladies and a man showed up at the door, my friend said to them "We are pleased to meet you we have been waiting your arrival, please step into the center of the living room." We were all dressed in our heavy burlap hooded robes standing around a large pentagram design made on the floor with white rope with a candle burning at the tip of each triangle. The look on their faces was historic. One lady gasped and they turned away faster than a walk but not quite a run. They skipped the rest of the homes on the street. Unfortunately this was in the early 80's before even hand held VCR recorders were common.
My father would tell them that he was staying with his religion cause only so many of them would go to heaven. And in his religion everyone could go. Lol
Nobody wants to die usually people want to get well when sick.
I say "No Thank You 😊 Have a Nice Day" then I close the door. No need to be rude. The Jehovah Witnesses are usually pretty nice.
😂😂😂
@Diane Strouse My father would invite them and they leave converted to born again Christian, you see my father was a Senior Pastor 😲✝️
That’s a good one!
We once had some jehovah witnesses start walking up our driveway and I shouted out the kitchen window "Get the f#uck off my property or I will let the dogs out!" They left. My two mini dachshunds were disappointed.

Like the time I offered them food because they looked homeless (sidenote: I DO offer food to the local homeless people, but i was quite hungover/drunk/tired, so I didn't get their intent)
Also, a LGBT+ flag in the entrance will greatly annoy some of them, whether you are in that society or not, because "it doesn't follow their ideals"

They both speak Japanese knocked the door saying "hello" "excuse me". This guy was saying to her in Japanese that it would record in about 30 seconds. Sounds like they know that the house owner is Japanese. They might be Jehovah's missioners.
JW's are hard to get rid of. Once in an old neighborhood I lived in It was a Saturday morning about 7:00am. I was sitting on a beautiful park bench outside my porch with my coffee enjoying my morning. This was in 2012 and we had an iron gate with a lock on it and we lived on a court. Well, I seen 4 ladies being dropped off at the corner of my street with 2 men with brief cases. The ladies were going house to house that early in the morning. No one answered the door and here they come walking my way because they see me. One very aggressive woman began rattling my gate trying to get inside to speak to me. I kept drinking my coffee watering my grass. Then the aggressive woman kept saying to me ma'am let me in I'd like to talk with you. I ignored her and kept drinking my coffee. So I think she became upset because I wouldn't talk to her. So.... she proceeded to take about 20 of her shitty jw hand booklets and toss them over the gate on my lawn. She was mad at that point. I walked over there and picked up the booklets that were soaked in water and tore them up in piece's then gave them to her. I told her if she needed to be cooled off I could spray her with the garden hose. She left quickly with her hand books but not without a good spray from me. I don't care, she deserved it and had it coming😤 Those people are like a disease you can't get rid of.

Always answer the door cleaning my weapons, on my property, so they cannot say a word.
They asked me if I read the Bible, and I said yes, it's my favorite book. It has murder, incest, UFOs, giants, magic, sex and.... I couldn't finish because they hastily retreated and never came back...
I actually had my husband put barricade across bottom of 1000ft long driveway. They would climb over and walk to house to sell their religion. Really annoying
As kids, we used to get "missionaries" selling Watchtower at our home nearly every Saturday morning during cartoon time. Our Modus Operandi was to strip off our pajamas and answer the door in our underwear - they didn't stick around very long
😂
Y'all were lucky that they weren't Catholics 😁
One day my daughter was so absolutely sick of them coming to our door at the butt ass crack of dawn they rang the bell and she got out of bed and threw the door open so fast they didn’t have a chance to say shit and she screams in their face I LOVE CHRISTMAS 🎅 and promptly slams the door and goes back to bed. You know it has been well over 12 years and not one has ever came back to our home! I guess she got us BLACK LISTED True story. Tired frustrated teen saved our weekends!!!

😂😂😈😈👺👺I did that when I was like 12. Some Jehovah's witnesses came over. My parents worked, so it was just my brother and me, home for the weekend I made my voice as deep as possible and yelled "this is the house of Satan"!! They just laughed it off, put a little booklet in the doorcrack and walked away.
This used to happen to me all the time. JWs would come direct to my door because my last name (married name) is Spanish. Then my Caucasian face would open the door and tell them I don't speak Spanish. Then they would send someone who spoke English and I would speak only Spanish. Eventually I got tired of being interrupted so I put a sign on my front door and now they leave me/us alone.
Answer your door with Satan Loves You! They never return.
I told JWs one time that we are a Luciferian household. My children will not be exposed to their western devil. Slammed door in face.
When we lived in an apartment complex one of our neighbors threw a bucket of water on some persistent JWs that wouldn’t leave her alone when she was cleaning her patio.

My father in law would invite witnesses and other religious groups into his house quickly ask them to sit down before they could take in their surroundings fully. He would then grab a book from the shelf and sit down himself. It would then start to dawn on them whose house they had just walked into. The piano in the corner the photos of a man with a dog collar on and my father in law opening the bible he'd just picked up and asking them to talk to him about God. It's funny as they always seemed to make their excuses and make a very hasty retreat. He was a minister with nearly 10 years of university studies and 40 years services to the church under his belt which always seemed to unnerve them 😁😁😁😁

@@erict956 Don't be too concerned. I was brought up in the Baptist church and our pastors wear collared shirts and ties. If you want to be concerned about anything I guess it should be why I thought it had something to do with S&M

That's really fucking creepy.
They're probably from soka gakkai, its a Buddhist religion here in the states that will sometimes go door to door like some other faiths with missionaries. They're alright people, I've met a few and spoke Japanese with them to practice from time to time at my boring retail job. They're not as aggressive with getting you to join the cause as some other religious movements, but they'll press it from time to time.
I heard they do some research first on who they bother to "solicit" . I don't doubt it.
Missionaries are creepy.... like my religious views or lack of them is none of your business.
It's harassment frankly......
Did I invite you? No. Do you have an appointment? No. Am I expecting you? No. Will I answer the door for you? NO NO NO! GO AWAY!
When visiting my friend we noticed jw across the street, I told her when they get to this side ask them in. My friend knew I practice Buddhism, I told her I could counter anything they said.
They show up, she ask them in, they sit down n I say “well I have to go go, see you later”
The look on my friends face was priceless, she knew she had been had. I laughed all the way home.

"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."
This is called Hitchens’ Razor.
- Christopher Hitchens
What can be resisted and suppressed in unrighteousness, even though there is evidence, does not nullify the eternal truth!
It is not a matter of a lack of evidence..... it is a matter of the sinner's suppression of the evidence!
Sinners suppress the truth of their God given conscience in unrighteousness because of a love for sin and a hatred for God.

Jehovah's Witness are not going door to door since the start of covid. Jehovah's know the doors when not to visit. It is a "do not work." Once this house is marked before they knock. Please tell the truth.
I had an employee once who absolutely HATED being woken from his sleep on Sundays by Jehovah's Witnesses. So one day, having had enough of it, he gave them something to truly "witness": he came buck naked directly from bed to the door, flung it open, and said "What the hell do YOU want?" They stopped.

I started celebrating in front of them, one woman asked me what do I think about the trees and plants surviving. I answered don't worry it's the end of the world no one cares we get to meet our maker. She kept pushing it and I kept in a spiritual party mode to forget the plants and the trees God will take care of it. Another response I gave her was no more taxes no more mortgage no more cars no more pain in the ass people. Her response to me was you must be a Christian. My response was hell no I'm a Catholic. They never ever came back. They walk the neighborhood but it seems like they know not to knock on my door. I'm waiting for the same to to come back so I can ask them why they lied in Jesus's name that the world was over. That was fourteen years ago those two witnesses lied.

They came about once a month and gave us their literature, then left. We always knew it was them because they were the only ones that used our front door. They didn't lecture, just handed us the literature, we said thank you and they left. Nothing wrong with being kind to your neighbors.
Finally, someone being kind to Jehovah's Witnesses. They are doing what they believe they are supposed to do.

We had lazy ones in my neighborhood, they'd knock on the door and give you about 2 seconds to answer then they were off to the next house! I guess they had stuff to do on a Saturday too!
The ones I met mostly just seemed like they were obligated to spend a certain amount of time doing their chore of dropping off the their magazines.i guess they are off the hook once the magazines are gone because one sweet older lady just gave me her entire handful and then she had that look of relief that now her day belongs to her now,I really felt sorry for her that she got into that trap
I dont know why people get all hot and bothered by relious visitors knocking on doors. I dont want to talk to them anymore than the next house but the solution is stupid simple.
Just put up a NO TRESPASSING sign and they'll avoid your house....Its the law. NO SOLICITING signs wont work because technically they aren't solicitors if they arent asking for money and selling a legally recognized commercial product/service.
Just gives you the ability to call the cops. Believe me, they keep coming. I have a no soliciting, no trespassing and beware of dog signs, they're a pair of huge knuckle heads, but very lovable if they like you, but still. And they still come!
Apparently I need to hear the good word more is their logic. You'd think after being told numerous times to piss off, and having a few encounters with 2 huge dogs through a fence would be enough to convince them, but nope!
@@sparkplug1018 - If they are Jehovahs Witnesses you can simply ask them to be placed on a "do not call list" for how ever many years (be specific). Obviously, there's no need to be impolite...just be be clear and firm. They dont want to intentionally waste time talking to people that are uninterested so you're doing them a favor by doing so. But JWs are trained to avoid houses with "No Tresspassing" signs because its the law. If they arent JWs then I guess you're on your own. Good luck.
@@__-pl3jg You’re not the first to say that, and if it were anyone else I’d agree.
These guys though, don’t know what it is, got the signs, told them put me on the list, encounters with 2 160 pound dogs, threats. Either the ones in my area are the most ambitious or the dumbest.
Apparently they don't all read those signs.
I have a sign that we are not interested in solicitors and faith bringers, we have no problem anymore. Besides from kids that sell stuff for their school or clubs. They are mostly to exited or to small to read or understand what it says. We don't mind them.
It's appalling to see solicitors for religions, politicians, people asking to contribute $30.000.00 to complete their Coffee House Business or others wanting cash to "help" students go to college when nobody gave me a penny to send my child to college! All these people seem to miss my black and white in their faces NO SOLICITING sign! Wow!
I have one myself. It drives me crazy that I inevitably hear back "But, I'm not selling anything". You're trying to get something out of me, that's soliciting. Soliciting isn't just about sales. You're too thoughtless for me to want to speak with you.
Deputy Bad Ass, They view themselves as "Religious Pioneers" so maybe write that in black shipping marker on a piece of photocopy paper and tape it to the bottom of your No Soliciting sign. See if they honour that statement. If not, have at 'em.
I live in Florida and it happens all the time. I've gotten to the point if your a complete stranger. I won't open the door.
Not Everyone has to Answer the damn door!!!! No one is obligated to!!!! Leave Already!!!! Geez.
They shouldn't even be knocking...
@@Penguin_of_Death why not?
I have Jehovah’s Witness people come to my door from time to time. I just leave them standing there. They usually move on quickly. They are supposed to keep track of those who didn’t respond. During the pandemic they wrote me twice. Don’t know how they got my name. They haven’t resumed their knocking on doors yet.
Through the door, say, "Just a minute!", and then leave them hanging. I might even pretend to fumble with the door lock.
Reading the comments makes me wonder, as an ex JW, if the person they are calling on is a JW who's "faded".
The brothers and sisters will pester you saying they're "worried" about you, so if they are JW's they've gone there with an agenda.
If that doesn't work the elders rock up to do a "shepherding" call and try to gaslight and guilt trip you, asking inappropriate questions, people laugh as the JWs but it's no laughing matter.
The WT organisation is a high control cult and they don't want anyone waking up to them and telling others what they've learnt, you're labelled an "apostate" and your friends and family will "shun" you, they destroy families.
If they were JW's that explains their persistence and why they know what language to speak - if that person is a JW who's waking up I wish them luck, leaving the organisation has cost me everything but the freedom I've gained has been worth it.
Not my experience with them sounds like sour grapes to me
@@angelahenderson5460 No, sounds right. Good friend of mine, successful...they got ahold of his wife. Telling her to divorce him, etc... he told local potentates "I'll sue you forever...or leave my marriage alone and I'll occasionally help w/ $ for a new roof or asphalt for your parking lot..."
They were so concerned about his soul, they took the deal. Wife goes to their stupid church, but nobody tells her to divorce him....they leave him the F alone. He DID pay for that asphalt job about 2 years ago....They're like the mob.
I saw them coming one time .... played shout at the devil turned up full blast .... they did not visit our house that day ....
My Grandfather was a prankster. One day he noticed Jehovah's Witnesses in the neighborhood. So, he put on a Jewish Yamaka (He was not Jewish) and waited... they knocked, he answered, they asked if he would read their literature, he pulled out a Torah and said "I'll read yours if you'll read mine"... they left and never came back.
You know, I've never heard of atheists knocking on doors trying to convince people god doesn't exist.
When they show up, I just talk to them honestly. In my underwear, if I can drink beer at the same time...double points.
Good grief, are they solicting or camping. If people dont answer the door....FO!
Maybe they should have thrown out a pillow and blankets for them, since it look like they were going to stay overnight.
I grew up as a witness. I decided at 13 I no longer wanted to practice. My parents didn’t stop loving me or treat me any different. I never missed out on things like dressing up for costume parties as a kid during that spooky time of year. In fact one year I wanted to be a character from Harry Potter and my mom made my costume. I got gifts year around. I was allowed to have friends over for my birthday although my parents would just call it a get together. My mom went door to door before the pandemic and I know they do it as part of what they believe in “sharing the word of God” She was always respectful if someone was not interested. She does not preach to me as she knows I am a more spiritual person after studying religion in college. To this day as an adult members of my parents congregation ask how I’m doing always and wish me well. My husband is agnostic and my parents love him like he was their own. I’ve been approached by witnesses before and they just ask how I’m doing hand me a flyer and walk away. I hear all these stories of witnesses being crazy/bad/cult etc and I personally never experienced anything close to this especially as someone who was raised in that faith walked away and has a great relationship with my family.
Look at her standing there like a good soldier of religious inequality where only they are saved and everyone else is just lost😆
That yucky fella needs to pull his drawers up. Twas really messin with my OCD's
Definitely the profile of JW’s. Sometimes annoying but harmless.
Now Scientologists, that’s another matter altogether.
JWs aren't harmless. They tear families apart and please research Jehovah's Witnesses and sexual child abuse.
I had a visit, and when they started to quote what was in the Bible, I pulled out my Bible and pointed out the difference between what they said and what was actually in the Bible - Book, chapter, and verse. After the third try, they stepped back and said, “You know your Bible!”
I invited them to my church to learn more. They never returned to my house again -5 years and counting.
Maybe you planted seeds and got them saved!
In North Carolina we use to get Mormons and the like showing up on our door all the time. My mother is Southern Baptist and I am athiest so neither of us cared to talk to them, so I put up a sign that said "Solicitors will be shot, survivors will be shot again." Had a few obviously think the sign was a joke and knocked, I showed up to the door with a 12 gauge pump shotgun in hand and cocked it and politely said "Yes?" They suddenly turned pale white and said sorry they had the wrong address and scurried off the property, never heard from them again! (Don't worry the shotgun was unloaded)
We lived in the neighborhood behind a JW church and almost every Saturday they would come by.. I put up no sol. signs etc.. i think that worked for most sol.. that is one thing i hated about living in the city.. (we live on a farm now) every day always a knock or doorbell ring.. bad for afternoon nappers (kids).. so we just uninstalled our doorbell..
I never open my door to anybody unless I'm expecting somebody. Amazing to me how these religious people think the "No Solicitors" sign doesn't apply to them, and, they will stand at your door 10 minutes. Why? I don't care if you know I'm home or not. It's my prerogative whether or not I open my house door. I don't care if you pull up a chair and sit there for half a day, I'm still not opening that door.
Why don't you open the door and tell them to leave?
When they don't immediately leave, call the police - they are trespassing as soon as you tell them to leave the property if they don't immediately leave.
@@JustHazardous Because some people pose as religious people, just to have you open the door. I don't want to open my door. It's my house , I don't have to open my door, speak to anybody that's not invited to my house. They want you to open the door, you don't know if they have a weapon. Just because they carry a Bible, doesn't mean they're not con people. Use your head, these days nothing is like it seems, period. Plus, they're disturbing me in the privacy of my home. You see the ''No solicitors" sign, abide by it. I worked all my life, my at home time is my at home time, time to relax, not jump up and answer the door or answer phone scammers. I shouldn't have to call police, you are trespassing on my property without my permission.
I don't get many solicitors, but I think I'd like to make enough noise inside to let them know I was home, and just ignore them. My dog would probably be barking, too.
@@JustHazardous
Tell them to leave through a CLOSED door. Also, tell them they're on camera, even if it's not true.
I answer the door with a gun and explain I know how to use it and strongly suggest they stop coming to my house. Never has failed.
I know we have freedom of religion, but it should be illegal to try to solicit people to join your religion or church. I am Christian, and NEVER will I impose my religious beliefs nor religion on others who didn't ask for it. In my opinion, you shouldn't go door to door recruiting people for your church stuff. If someone wants to be a Christian, Catholic, Jewish, they can choose themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses are annoying as fuck. Trespassing. I just say I'm already familiar with God, and don't prefer to divulge information about my personal religion. Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day, regardless. And shut the door in their faces.
My son was very interested in the Bible when he was younger. But now he has a different Outlook. when JW knocks on our door he goes outside and stands on the porch and debates the Bible with them for 45 minutes. I don't know why he does this but I think it's just to waste their time and for his amusement. Lol
She was staring in the soul of that camera 😂
I had an off season Halloween party in February. Great black & silver streamers & I found great evil looking stuff to hang from the ceiling like skeletons, nooses etc. The party was a blast & went on into the morning. Someone rang my bell at 6am. I saw it was the JW's. So of course being up all night my vampire make up was running & my hair was a fright. Thete were several people crashed out all over the room. So I grabbed my cat (black) so she wouldn't scoot out the door. Marilyn Manson playing in the background. I whipped open the door & asked them in for cocktails. They turned & ran as fast as they could! 🤣😈💀👻
How is this not anything BUT a random solicitor?
They are peaceful people, relentless but peaceful.
And insane .....as an ex witness ,I can assure you that what they did was rude .....What kind of point we're they trying to prove ?...We really care ?😅🤪😅🤪
Trespassing on private property, causing agitation, and trying to bilk money out of people to fund an untaxed religious organization isn’t peaceful.
@@__seeker__ do yourself a favor ....check out NON PROFIT organizations in the United States ....They made 3 and a half trillion dollars last year .....The YMCA made 8 plus billion .....We are being jerked around
They’re also pains in the ass to around 99% of the population.
"Hi. We're delusional and we'd like YOU to be delusional with us."
My teenage son sorted the Jehovah's Witnesses out real quick. All you have to do is answer the door in your undies with a double bladed axe on your shoulder. Seven years later and they've never tried again.
And fake blood on your shirt?
@@joelspringman7748 Nah, no shirt, just the boxers.
@@amyvargo593
Don't forget the ketchup.
My Dad would invite them to get a perspective of why they believe what they believed. Mom would get so mad about it. I give them credit for going door to door to try and spread their lies. But when people say no, then they should respect that and leave. I know what the Truth is,apparently they were taught wrong.
We usedcto wait for them to get close to the front door & remotely turn the sprinklers on full blast. This was after several weeks of telling them to stay away & posting beware of dog & no trespassing signs.
I was involved with this cult when I was in my teens. Stay away! Tell them you're an apostate and they will turn around and run. As demonstrated in the video, they will hang around for a long time for someone to answer the door.
I told jehovah's witnesses that I'd love to talk about religion with them, but right now I'm busy in the backyard sacrificing a goat.
Haven't seen them in 30 years.
I love these Ring videos! 😂😂😂😂😂
I got a knock on my door one Friday night at 2200ish…. I answered door like all normal people would do at that hour - with my 12 guage, semi-auto, 10rnd bullpup…. funny we don’t get too many visitors anymore….
C’mon people. Take a hint.
most of these religious people that come to people's homes normally don't take the hint.
When we Lived IN GA{ Military fam} Our Neighbors Had a BIGGGGG Mastiff Pitbull Mix . Named Scarface. { Think Uses a Basketball as a toy big} He was Brindle and all Muscle and the sweetest Big marshmallow . The Neighbors had college age children who Moved Back Home. The Kids would always sleep very Late. We would Have these Baptist Old ladies always trying to tell Us to come to thier church, Our Halloween decorations Mean we are going to hell Bla Bla Bla. Every saturday at 8 and 9. Well they went Next door and Mom and dad were On vacation. Poor Scar Had to go Potty soooo Bad . Guy goes to open door and didn't even think about scar .. who Burst through the door out to the front Yard and Lifted his Leg for a good min to 2. the Old ladies in all thier church finery { Hat and gloves and all} took off running down the road to escape the wild beast who was just standing watering the tree in the front yard. I almost Peed Myself the Guy who Let scar out was laughing and the church Ladies Never Came Back to tell Us we are going to Hell. I guess they thought we already Has our Hellhound LOL
Wouldn’t it be fun to solicit a solicitor!!? Like hey come in... boy do I have some shit to sell you! And you must listen to my pitch before I listen to yours... and take up like 2 hrs of their time! Though, I can only dream of that... as I don’t hVe the time in real life.
I have done this. I talk a lot about aliens. Lol
I was cleaning my garage when some mormons showed up and offered to help so I was like yeah sure. They hungout and helped for about an hour, they didn't convert me but they were alright dudes.
Ive done something similar before. While working on my project car they walked up to the garage with their pitch. I just listened patiently, and when there was an opening I started trying to sell them everything in the garage. Now look I know this car doesn't run right now, but she's a sweet car to have, sure you're not interested?
After about 5 min of not letting them get a word in they left and haven't been back.
🎼I hear you knockin'🎶but you can't🎶come inside🎶
(how many solistiors knocked on Hannibal Lechters door?)
They kept coming to my friends house during the day and waking him up. He worked the night shift. He had told them several times that he wasn’t interested and not to come back and they were waking him up. One day he was taking a shower and the doorbell rang. He peeked out the window and saw it was them. He opened the door, totally naked and said “what!!”. They didn’t come back. Personally I would have thought it would be funnier if he invited them in while naked!!!
The first no always seemed to work for me, that and immediately trying to convert them to Catholicism.
Me too.😊
I eat about four cloves of garlic a day.
Just tell them you left their church to join the occult. They'll run and I promise they won't come back...lol
This is so creepy
People come to my door that I don't know. I just don't answer it. The 'I'm in a meeting" comes in real handy. The most common solicitor in my neighborhood is the pest control guy. He's come by several times and I've said no thank you several times.
