swee said:+ 1. I've lived next door but one to 2 JWs for over 12 years. They're great neighbours. Jack gives me the Watchtower and whatever the other one is called every month. I don't read them (and I think he knows it) but can't see the harm in taking them.
Door knocking JWs just get the 'Same Sex Couple' introduction and they usually beat their way back down the drive smartish, particularly the ladies.

I've heard that the simple phrase "I am a catholic" usually sends them running. That's hearsay, though, I've never had the need to try it and I'm not a catholic either.

I don't think that would work - I once told a JW on my doorstep that I was Jewish (which I'm not) and he said that was very interesting - could he come in and compare beliefs with me!Hont said:

Reminds me of the classic Calum Gilhooley sketch on 'Absolutely' when he invites them in and starts talking to them about his motorbike...
Nothing good about JW.
Join the cult, do the whole "material is worthless" thing, so they persuade you to sign it all over to them in your will. They also urge people not to go to hospitals and bla bla bla.
I love it when they come knocking - at first I just say no thanks, but if they press it, like they will then I start getting the verbal headshots in

Like most groups, they vary enormously. I have as much time for religious zealots and evangelists as I do for self-righteous idealogues of any description, but while some are twisted little geeks, others (in my experience at least) are genuinely warm and generous people who, however misguidedly in my view, want to help others. I still have fond memories of Mrs Robinson who sold my mum Awake and Watchtower and prayed for me to pass my exams. Lovely lady - not a malicious bone in her body ('Praise the Lord!'). Glad she never discovered what my little sister used to do to those mags once they got in the house...

Surely "div" stopped being offensive when we were twelve or so? And as for "brainwashed" ... I'm not sure that's all that far from the truth.
