heh they're "advertising" people to get them into the religon, that's what their jobs are. I am NOT interested in it, they would come to my door and talk me into it, I would say I'm not interested and thanks for coming, and I don't give them my contact because they will keep coming to my door and nag me. That's how it goes, haven't had anyone who's JV or LDS or whatever come to my door since for more than 1 and half years here in my apt.

I am lucky that JW never stop by my house at all... I think they are try to brainwash deaf people into joining their religion because most deaf have low reading level (no offense)... I am smart enough to say no thanks. I heard from some friend of mine that if you are JW, and have sex with boyfriend/girlfriend then you are barred from their church for like 6 months. I wonder if its true. I have seen some JW church around in Twin Cities area while driving by.

I know alot of people are so frustrating with JW keep coming to their house. I am one of them. Two yrs ago, I didnt have the door bell light. I completely forgot abt them. Till I set up the door bell light last winter. The light went off and I went to the door. I saw JW standing there. I said to myself aww gawd, not now... So I couldnt tell them to stop. One friend who is a good friend of mine were there. So we chat about the bible blah blah. Then she and her person came over again and again. One day, she called me and I told her I am not going to listen anymore because my next door gave me bible for christmas and the mormon people show up within a few days apart. I had enuff. She shut up and will not bother me anymore. I thanked her. Months later, JW show up again with different people. I told them that I do not want them to bother me. So the woman said oh okay I'll remove your name from the list. I thanked her. The next day Mormon showed up. I told them I am deaf. They waved bye then left. The next day JW people show up, I told them the same thing. They left me alone. I havent heard from them since but when I was out. I came home and saw the booket stuck between my screen door. I grrr about it. They cannot give up what Ive told them. So from now on, if my doorbell light goes off. Ill peak the window to see whos at the door. hehe I did once. they gave up waiting and left.. I am bad!

I heard from a friend that If you are a JW and have sex, they find out then you are barred from the church for 6 months I think.. wonder if its true? It seems like JW are act like Amish People, they rather plain life!!!! no fun!!!!

Well, I´m interesting to collect every reglious. I have few JW friends which they went same school as me. I accept what they are as they accept what I am. They know that I like to read bible story etc. They also know that I´m not interesting to join JW but they are not force me to do it. I was study with them over bible. I must say that their story are interesting. Of course I ask them alot of questions. They respond my questions honestly.

1. No sex before marriage.
It´s understandable if you was having sex before you join JW. They forgive you for that. "sinned"...

2. No divorce.
They will not speak you for 6 months if you are divorced.

3. They will not speak you for rest of life if you withdraw from JW reglious. They will forgive you & speak you again if you go back to JW reglious again.

4. No blood transfer from strangers.
They have to let their child die if they lost alot of blood. They demand special water to save their child life instead of blood.

5. No Christmas, Easter & Birthday present, also no parties because they beleive it belongs Satan. There´s long interesting discussion between me & them why there´re no parties etc. Should I post here? I don´t mind to tell you the story why they don´t celebrate xmas, easter, birthday etc.


JW are not only one who trying to brainwash people to join their religion but other regligions, too.

Honestly, it doesnt bother me if JW knock my door... I remember that Germans complaint about them so the court told JW to not do that but they are able to do something on the street only to ask people with magazine.. They stand outside at shopping mall to hold the magazine to make us to notice. Alot of people ignored them. They still carrying on like this for many years... oh dear. I would not stand outside during winter time... ggrrrhhhh.

Yes, that's true. The believe that deaf people are more easily brainwashed to do things so deafies are their main targets. I think I posted here earlier about it. A friend of mind found out that one of their guys went door to door using a complete listing of every deaf resident in the city of Rochester, New York.

Yeah, it's true -- my friend who I mentioned in an earlier post -- she was barred from her JW church sessions because she had sex with a guy she was interested in and in the same church congregation.

Just this morning, I was in Dandenong having a walkabout in town when I was approached by an elderly lady -- she proceeded in shaking a pamphlet in my face and I caught the word, 'WatchTower' - I said no thanks, not interested and smiled at her politely.

I used to listen to JW's and accept to share Bible study with them as some of my cousins are JW, until my husband told me they are not welcome in our house as he strongly believe if I want to learn more about God, I should go to Kingdom Hall or any church not in our house, I agreed with him about it, and funny enough I don't have a time to go there as it is heavy pressure to attend Kingdom Hall for meeting, pray and assembly etc, they will look down on me if I miss one!

My husband believe Jehovah Witness pry on deaf people as easy target and I agreed with him since I learnt from JW that they keep a list of deaf residences and write a comment etc.

One Sunday morning at 6.00AM - yes SIX O'CLOCK - they came to knock our door, it makes my husband furious, and he went to answer the door saying "Leave me alone and I want to earn a quiet Sunday, not listen to your bible, FO" slamed the door hard.

well JW and mormons aren't allowed on our property cuz we got dogs and whenever they show up and park on the side street and my dogs bark i simplly put the leash on one of my dogs and act like im walking and when they see me coming WITH A DOG they take off So since then they never came back!

Miss-Delectable

Yep, JW came to the door once few years ago. I nodded and listened politely. They knew I was deaf, but fortunately they did not send around a deaf JW. I dislike the JW because they think the deafs are easy to convert also did not agree with them over few things such as no celebrations for b'days, xmas, and also teh blood transfusion. Tsk.

It has been a year ago. Wow, the times flies. Haven't your parents accept for who you are? Yikes ! I can't image how they react when you will be telling them on the line.

As for me, I may have a difficult to accept if my son is a gay. Thanks God, they have girlfriends ! I may be wreck nervous if he is a gay.

Liza

I give the JWs an incredible display of my well endowed and naked body and ask them: "Yes?" If they ever come to my door....

:greddy:

No, just kidding...

BigSpike

JW and Mormon used to come by house few time...I told them "Dont bother me with your religion doctrine..please leave then gently closed door" I learned something NEVER blah about your religion belief to them you know why...they will keep pest you with their "cult" teaching compare this they are better for example, Mormon keep telling me "They are one only true church of Christ" so please get real...there are many doctrinal blahing the same statement...I personally believe in Jesus Christ as my blessing savior than getting off the topics with their stupid doctrines period. Better say nothing and act out of your own manner then you deserve the respect. As they will leave you guys in peace!

own religion and not gonna convert to any other religion including yours! Boy, that really stop them!
One time, my ex fiance was working nights and the JW came to his door ignoring the sign saying he is a day sleeper, he got pissed off! He told them that he is a devil worshipper (not really) and boy! they took off like he has the plague! hehe at least it worked for him!

When I lived in Utah, suddenly lot of missionaries come to my door and try to annoy me with religous stuff, pretty annoying isn't it? Tho, when I lived in California, I had some JV come to my door, I just nod to their religon and wait til they go away, it was my friend who's a JV. I didn't want to kick her out cuz she's my friend, anyhow.

Mistyrose

Wanna know what i think?? I think its mighty rude of these missionaries and JW people to try to stuff their religion down people's throat cuz we have freedom of religion and got the right to choose our own religion so i think they are wrong for doing door to door hawking their own religion on us ! heh!

OmnisDioscuri

They also have freedom of religion as well as freedom of speech. They can go door to door as long they are not pestering the residents over and over within the certain span of time, as long they are not interfering and promoting violence that could disrupt daily life, things like that. There are certain degrees of freedom of speech, and for most of the JW, they are not violating that. That's what I think. Anyone would like to comment on that?

VamPyroX

Well, I'm in the middle of sex. I don't appreciate people coming to my door just to preach to me about JW. Secondly, I don't appreciate the fact that they are able to get their hands on all deafies in the city.

I got this email a friend of mine. I disagreed with their perspective. I find that Jehovah's Witnesses people have NO respect to harrassment the people at the doors.

check out
http://www.watchtower.org/library/vcnb/article_01.htm

and in (what i'm guessing will be a futile) attempt at ending these prejudiced untruths, check out the online brochure "What do JW's Believe"

http://www.watchtower.org/library/jt/index.htm

Hypocrite Jehovah's Witnesses on "Hate"


Noteable quoteable;Watchtower magazine defines an,'apostate'

"If someone used to be a Jehovah's Witness, "We MUST HATE in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme ~ active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest." - Watchtower, 10/1/52, p.599


Now what other institution promotes this level of hatred?

The decision about who's going to be judged and how doesn't belong to us. Only Jehovah will, and we might ignore lots of things about the way he decides. Rather than ignoring Jehovah's Witnesses' message - as any other message, what could be dangerous - even in this life, without any necessity of "Armageddon" - would be the rejection of spritual matters (Mathew 5:7; 6:33). And it's not easy nowadays, due to the pressure of other life styles, but our hope in a reall better future makes us go ahead. This is a joy nothing can buy... Unless comments like yours discourage a heart, something that rarely happens, thank heaven.

So, if I were you, I'd be careful with the things you say. We appreciate your good intentions, but it's better for you to comment based on your own knowledge or evidence, and not on the first lines you find in the web. That's a dangerous thing, you know... And I'm sure you're a man with valid arguments.

I have had people come to my door...they did recently and I impressed them with my chinese-speaking skills...although I laaaaaaaarv Liza's idea...Oooh. That'll do it.

IcedTeaRulz

If JW people come to my door, I would say to them "No, I am not interesting, I attend to my own church, thanks, bye" then close the door. That's it.
