They are really harmless.

Just tell them to get off your property tell them God told you so.

i have heard so many stories about people chasing them off property with a shotgun. i think they have learnt to stay away if people say so. :)

What do you get when a jehovah's witness with amnesia walks up to your door?

You get someone who knocks on your door for no particular reason.

Because in the JW world, salvation/acceptance before God is earned by doing so.

I think they are MUCH more dedicated than I will ever be. I tried door to door sales once. The poor foot soldiers for the church do it FOR FREE, I think. I wouldn't be one. I would prefer a lazier church lol

The sorry bastards only show at my door one time.

My sister got involved with that cult and died because of it.

She refused a blood transfusion that would have saved her life.

It is a cult of fools that needs to be outlawed.

I collect them! I have a basement with 7 of the bastards already. I feed them rhetoric and scripture and they're all doing quite well.
The problem is they breed like flies so I've had to do some culling...

This was Jesus instructions when people don't want to listen:

"11 “Into whatever city or village YOU enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until YOU leave. 12 When YOU are entering into the house, greet the household; 13 and if the house is deserving, let the peace YOU wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from YOU return upon YOU. 14 Wherever anyone does not take YOU in or listen to YOUR words, on going out of that house or that city shake the dust off YOUR feet.

Its funny to walk by one of thier sancuaries and its surrounded by a fence and a locked gate as if they dont want someone knocking at the door. They are a cult and when a family member leaves the cult they discomunicate them and try to make thier life hell. Its the work of satan to break up families

C'mon, you don't know a blood transfusion would have saved her life, there are so many complications with blood it is astronomical not to mention, such a midevil pactice. Even the military is going to non-blood alternatives because of the complications. just go watch the people walking into a blood bank to give blood for money, I wouldn't want to TOUCH most of them, much less share bodily fluids- but sheeple get into a panic, don't EVER research the alternatives, and having been given bad medical advice by a doctor or hospital on the payout patrol- they beg for a bag of that putrid mix.....

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2760294


Does not mean they are right.

They are a cult whos leader was a mason and whos governing body are all masons.

They are packed to the rafters with pedophiles as well.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17767629


it seems they would get more done as far as witnessing and spreading the word on the internet. I grew up a JW. and I always thought to myself,that they are wasting time driving around to empty houses all day long witnessing to the dogs at home.

Most people don't even answer the door. Gas is expensive these days. They make little old ladies in their 70's and up feel quilty they don't get many hours out in service to report.

My mother thinks these works will get her into paradise,and it has heaped a huge burden on her. She has to make the meetings,or they show up at her home and tell her she is missing too many meetings,and will lose out on life.

I am NOT a JW, nor am I associated with any religious institutions of man.

I must say, they are very close to the truth in many areas, but also off on some.

Hey dumbass, a transfusion is not EATING blood.

Also, if the end is right around the corner, why are they building a 300 million+ compund in upper NY?? Why did the Canadian branch have a 1.2 billion dollar gross for last year - does god need that much money? You know how they started right? You know 1914 was bullshit and added after the fact by Rutherford? You know they have changed repeatedly their idea of the generation and the Faithful and Descrete Slave class is, right? I could tell you some of the most vial shit these people do, but I doubt you would believe...

Yes, the trinity doctrine is NOT Bibilical, but Yeshua is MarYaH, NOT just master.

Once you get past the Greek and delve into the ACTUAL language, Aramaic, of Ketuvim Netzarim; then comes real growth and Torah observance.
