The Street Is Crawling With Jehovah's Witnesses

[andyfraser]

I haven't seen any for ages and now the street is full of them. I always tell them I'm an atheist before they get going but I'm too polite to tell them to just naff off. This time I did tell them I thought creationism was bobbins and had to threaten to read from The God Delusion before they'd go.

My street is crawling with cats. The only thing I can find which legally repels them is the 'jet" mode of my garden hose. Have you tries that on JWs?

I just tell them that I respect their beliefs and would ask them to respect mine in turn. They are welcome to come in for a cup of tea but I am not going to become a JW. They always turn down the cuppa and wander off elsewhere.

Doesn't everyone just pretend to be out

 

[andyfraser]

I'm not going to start asking them for tea. Knowing my luck they'll accept!

Seriously? JWs have started drinking tea?

 

[andyfraser]

I don't know. I don't plan on finding out!

Last time they visited I treated them to a discussion on John 17. Keeps them away for months.

Ask them to make a note in their wee book that you're not interested - they don't come back.

Nice gesture, but I'd offer ex-lax chocolate with the tea.

They used to really pee me off when I lived in a flat that was the top floor of a 3 1/2 storey building (the ground floor was part below ground) I'd answer the doorbell by going down 4 flights of stairs to find 2 of them stood there.

My neighbour just tells them that she is Catholic and they go off. She is a Catholic and JWs know that they are not for tuning in any way shape or form.

We don't get them out here. Thank the...oh bugger.

a possibly apocryphal storey about a larger than life academic coming answering the door in string vest and braces a la Rab C Nesbit answering "oh you silly little man, I AM JEHOVAH" - the chap ran away.

A true story though - the lady answered the door and was trying to politely fob them off "I'm terribly sorry, I'm about to go out and I'm afraid there's no one else in." cue loud voice from inside "tell 'em to ***k off!". Poor girl was embarrassed to say the least

I just smile, say 'not interested, thanks,' and we part amicably.
