Alright,

Well today, at like 10am, im in the middle of eating my breakfast, and the door bell rings. I thought it was the posty so i ran to the door, but then i find out its Jehovahs Witnesses.

They looked abit parched, so i offered them in for a drink. We had some tea, and were reading the "Watch Tower" they had with them. It was very a heart warming experience. I have never met any type of people who will sacrafice soo much of there time to there religion. I respect them for that. Also yo ucan have a very deep chat about all kinds of things, like evolution and have a good discussion

Have you had them round before?

I once asked them why poverty exists, and why bad things happen to good people. They were pretty stumped.

No they weren't. Why are you lying? What are you gaining from it?

Walking out on them was the best thing I ever done. Beliefs aside, unless someone requests your presence or is expecting a parcel, who's right is it to wake people up on their days off after a week at work? Weekends are Most peoples time that are spent with family which should not be interrupted by anyone without good reason.

"Best thing I ever did" you mean.

You clearly never knew much about us, or why we do what we do to make a statement like that. Why did you not raise this question to the JWs you had contact with? You don't even know why we call on people yet you dismiss our calling as "interrupting" without "good reason".

Please, do not ever try to pass yourself off as an ex-JW.

Don't you realise people, they're trying to save your eternal soul, you should be grateful they're calling at your door.

I'm an atheist but I'm 100% on your side and people feel they can tell any story they like about JW's.
JW's who knock on doors are prepared for every question that can be asked and if they stumble they have their literature to fall back on.
I personally know many JW's and also helped to build a Kingdom Hall in Normacot, Stoke On Trent.

Last time these came to my door they told me I had lost the faith. Laughed and slammed the door!

Kouba · 22 Oct 2011 at 14:54

I thought their heaven had a limit of 144,000?

Also, I wouldnt want to be baby AND be accountable for something a man did a long long time ago. How is that just? Why should I inherit someone elses sin?

You don't really need to know much about JW specifically to be fair, all religions are filled with nonsense.

I'm wondering where they all come from. We have had several pairs around this year but they are never the same two people.

I have seen quite a few posts on here that are just down right lies. Even people trying to tell us what we believe. What annoys me is that people don't want to talk to us on the door but they want to talk about us on forums with limited knowledge of what we believe. I mean the question of why God permits suffering is one of the fundamentals we teach to people during Bible studies, so for that guy to act as if we are untrained and poorly skilled in Bible teaching is riduclous.

Thank you for the support though!

Found it.
Its Section 28(5) of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847

The Bible states that only 144,000 have the hope of going to heaven, whereas everybody else has the hope of paradise on earth. If you would like to know more let me know.

Well you do if you're going to attempt to slander us. If you're going to come at us then come correct because making things up is pathetic. What is nonsense?

That isn't always true to be honest. For example the paid I had calling around about Halloween a few years ago were pretty ignorant of its origins and were limited on their knowledge of prophecy. Both subjects they bought up whilst on my doorstep.

drbx, do you know about the Scottish case?

SeraphX · 22 Oct 2011 at 16:04

Christ this lot drive me up the wall, i always open the door with cross in one hand and small white snake in the other

If you answer the door, invite them in saying you are a Satanic temple and have been looking for a sacrifice, they put your address on a list and never both you again.
