I tel them that I am busy, if they are 'religious visitors' then I tell them that I have my own beliefs with which I am quite happy, they usually leave, if not then I just state my case again until they DO leave!  |

It would be much easier to kindly and firmly tell JW's that you are not interested in what they have to say..That way you are being totally honest. They will leave you alone unless they haven't notified another group of JW's..If someone else knocks on your door from the group, refuse their booklets and kindly tell them the same thing you told the other group..That's the nice and simple way of solving the problem.  |

Usually if I am home alone and someone comes to my door and I don't know them, I will not open the door for them. So I really don't have that problem.  But if I did, I would just tell them "Sorry, not interested" and just close the door.  |

I point to the signs that say, "NO TRESPASSING!" Politely say good-bye and shut the door. Hugs! Zeeboette  |

I remember a time when my hubby and I were out in the yard working. Two very nice ladies drove up in our driveway. At the time... we had a HUGE Greatdane named Molly McButter (she is now in doggy heaven). When the ladies car stopped, Molly went right to the drivers door and sat there, she wouldn't let her get out of her car. Obviously, the lady was a little scared of Molly so she rolled her window down only a couple of inches and raised her head to talk through the crack, "Does your dog bite?" My hubby asked her if she was a JW and she said "yes". Gary said, "Well, my dog bites then." She politely rolled her window up and backed out of the drive. LOL Just thought I would share. Hugs!

for starters I dont hate anyone lol!!! when the JW's come to our door, I call my husband to talk to them as he baffles them with the questions he asks them about the bible, my dear old daddy (bless him) when he was alive would do the same thing and he was raised in a convent and knew the bible really well, he used to quiz them..but really they are nice people and are only trying to spread their word aren't they??? I could never be rude to them and I respect their views on religion even if they are not mine...hugs Zema  |

We never open the door for visitors unless it's dad, our next door neighbor and somebody like the UPS guy and the mailman. If we look out and it's anyone else, we just stay quiet and wait for them to go away.  |
