They may be nice, but that doesn't mean we have to put up with people pestering us. If they were considerate they'd just leave normal people alone. Just because they believe some myth doesn't give them the right to harass normal people at every opportunity. If you don't this this place, the answer is simple - **** off and stop complaining. You'll probably also find that the nice people do usually say "Sorry, not interested." but, over time patience wears thin.

I find it an infringement of my human rights that up to six times a year I get a knock on my door and some smiling face asks me what I think about the state of the world.
It then takes me a massive five seconds to say "Sorry, Im not interested but thanks anyway" and then close the door.
Thats a total of about 3 minutes of my life taken away every year.
Sometimes I just look through the window and don't answer the door but I have still wasted time looking through the window.
Give me my life back.

Cringe cringe & even bigger cringe regarding your' nicest people you can ever meet', I'd like you to meet my friend who's marriage has broken up because his wife was brainwashed by these ' nice people ' & now his young children have been turned against him & he's lost everything including his home to these people who are' having a hard time doing what is right' The answer to their opening jargon ' What do you think of the state of the world today' can be answered in one word - Religion
(& the numbskulls who take it to extremes)

What an insult though it still sticks in my throat.
Perhaps my pain is making me angrier than usual but FFS we make you cringe then **** off.

Hitler and the SS were just doing what they thought was right. As I said before, I gladly rrespect people's right to whatever religious observance they feel the need for ..... right up to the time they start pestering me about it. Then, if they ignore the polite requests to leave me alone, the requests will get markedly less polite.oxygene said:
If JWs knock on my door, they can expect my response to be thoroughly obnoxious because I detest their arrogant, sanctimonious attitude of superiority. They've been asked, repeatedly, to leave me alone but oh no, they know better, and they're determined to "save" me, regardless of my wishes. "Nice people" indeed!
If they were nice, they'd have some consideration for others and leave them alone when asked to do so, wouldn't they?
I have no problem at all with any JWs except those that knock on my door. When will you get the message? Leave me alone!

EDIT - gah they were mormons not JW
i had 2 of them come to my door a few years ago, id just done GCSE history abouth their beliefs so it was intresting to speak with them. they were impressed at my knowledge of their religion and spoke for about 10 mins. then i told them i wasnt intrested and they went on their way. there was 2 of them and one of them had lush norks, so i just stared at them for a bit

Hehe. I remember a ladies confession in FHM about a woman who invited a mormon (they do the same door to door thing as JWs in case anyone doesn't know) in and seduced him. She ended up having sex with himZip said:Its funny because its ture
This probably isn't actually true since I'm sure the ladies confessions are just made up, but it's funny anyway.
As i see it, if someone want to tell you something and you dont want to hear it just say no.
Politeness doesnt cost anything. Also it is disgusting to see some of the attitudes in here. Grow up and handle things like an adult, not a stroppy teenager.

How about being polite by not disturbing me in my home?Kroegen said:
If you want politeness then you have to show it too. It works both ways.

If I want someone to knock on my door and try to tell me what they want me to hear, I'll invite them. In the absence of an invitation, I don't want unsolicited nuisances knocking on my door.Kroegen said:
From your opening post, you've not had this experience before, Kroegen. These people have been knocking on my door, on and off, for several decades and I've had them pestering me dozens of times. Once or twice I've debated issues with them, and they can't convince me. Since then, I've asked them again and again and again not to pester me, and I have a notice up saying I don't want them, yet they STILL ring my doorbell. There's nothing stroppy-teenager in my attitude. What there is is a very pee'd off adult who is sick and tired of telling these incredibly persistent pests I don't want the tripe their peddling.
Like I said before, they've been asked (over and again) not to pester me. As soon as they start respecting my clearly and repeatedly expressed wishes, I'll start respecting them.
But they DON'T respect being told to leave me alone. They put their wish to ram their garbage down my throat over my clearly (and initially politely) express wish for them to quit pestering me, and they've been doing so on and off for many years.
Kroegen, I tried politeness. It doesn't work. They've ignored it. How polite is it to keep pestering people despite being repeatedly asked not to? That's why I have nothing but utter contempt for these selfish flaming nuisances.
