Jehovah’s Witnesses are an international religion that rejects much of modern mainstream Christianity in favour of what they believe is a restored form of first-century Christianity.1[2] Jehovah's Witnesses are governed by their understanding of Scriptural laws and principles from the Bible and expanded by the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. is a legal organisation in use by Jehovah’s Witnesses for their ministry work.

Are you sure you said “no”? Some people say, “I’m really busy right now” or some take literature from the Witnesses and secretly throw it away. In those cases the Witnesses will be back, because they think there may be interest. Believe it or not, some people really are interested. I have been a Witness for 13 years and studied the Bible with them for 10 years, prior to that, and have never met one who wanted to waste precious time. You know how The Lord’s Prayer says, “Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name”? Well, Jehovah is God’s name, and the Witnesses are trying to get Jehovah the recognition He deserves. They honestly do not want to bother anyone. It’s simply a side effect of trying to reach those who want to know. Jesus sent his disciples out by twos, house to house, and Matthew 24:14 says: ”... this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” So it’s going to go on until the end of the world, as we know it. The world will never be totally destroyed, though, because Psalm 37:29 says “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.” Doesn’t that sound nice. And we know that hasn’t happened, as of yet. So, you can email me if you have ANY Bible questions, whatsoever. I will do my best to answer them, strictly from the Bible. But I will not contact you otherwise. In other words, I’ll take that as a “no”. Thanks, maureen123@cox.net
thanks for the essay!!!
p.s. the bible and all holy books are fairy tales with as much fact in them as mother goose.
I accidentally opened the door w/o checking who it was once and they kept me at the door for literally about half an hour even after I tried to politely tell them I already had a religion and was not interested. sssooo for the girl who said that they do take “no” as an answer, thats a lie. After that they would not stop coming to my house. I dont see why they think they have to recruit people.
Jehova’s Witnesses are easy to get rid of electronchelle, you just have to be creative. For example, start reciting how much an hour it is for sex, headjobs, ect and if they start rambling on with religious shit you have to politely inform them that religious roleplay will cost them an extra $50. If that doesn’t work, just do random weird things that will scare them away.
To Maureen, ... Holy shit the Jehovah’s have gone online. It’s like a bad horror movie. No matter where you run, there’s always a Jehova round the corner or hiding in your mailbox, with their little bible in hand and ready to leap into action and start reciting bible quotes to you. Is there no escape?
I was one of Jehovah's Witness for few years. Great way to learn Bible though.
God gave people the right to choose to accept him or not. Knocking on peoples' doors and following them around waving a bible is pretty intimidating to people who don't know about Christ, or highly annoying to people who left the religion for personal reasons. I say let people choose on their own. They will come to God if they want too. I was one of those people that left Christ/religion, becuase it seemed a lot like a taboo. It was forced upon me. I was born Baptsist. . People condemed me for things that 'made a bad impression on the church'. I came back when I felt I wanted to believe. That is one reason I don't go to church either Now I am a believer, but I don't go around antagonizing people. It shouldn't matter what you believe, or whether or not you do. You don't go around harassing people, and 'no' means NO. Not 'come back later'.
Sorry for the essay @_@
