Creepy missionaries show up at my home, having researched us and what foreign language to use. As they leave they comment on the things they see in the garage.
When my brother and I were in our teens, Jehovahs Witnesses targeted our home and started showing up very early every Saturday morning. All of my family liked to sleep in on the weekend so these unwanted visits were really annoying. They would keep pounding on the door until my dad got up and answered the door. He told them multiple times to not come back but they kept sending different people in the hopes of wearing him down. Finally, one Friday night dad told us that if they showed up the next morning to stay in our rooms no matter what we heard. They showed up, pounded on the door and dad was ready for them. We heard dad say in a very loud voice that he was finally ready to talk to them and he invited them in. Then we heard the front door close and dad was busting a gut laughing. A few minutes later he told us we could come out of our rooms and find out what had happened. Turns out dad answered the front door butt naked. They never came back.
@@kathleenpoole1372 Thanks! He really should have been a stand up comedian. He passed away in January 2019 and I still miss him and his hilarious sense of humour every day.
Jw did the same to me,one Saturday I opened the door with my shotgun slung over my shoulders (pretty much naked) and asked of they wanted to meet the maker... never came back after that.
They both speak Japanese knocked the door saying "hello" "excuse me". This guy was saying to her in Japanese that it would record in about 30 seconds. Sounds like they know that the house owner is Japanese. They might be Jehovah's missioners.
Back when my friends and I were in our late teens we seen a crew of witnesses coming down the street. We were into Dungeons and Dragons role play and had a whole pile of a variety of stuff that we would buy at the weekend trade center shows. So when the two ladies and a man showed up at the door, my friend said to them "We are pleased to meet you we have been waiting your arrival, please step into the center of the living room." We were all dressed in our heavy burlap hooded robes standing around a large pentagram design made on the floor with white rope with a candle burning at the tip of each triangle. The look on their faces was historic. One lady gasped and they turned away faster than a walk but not quite a run. They skipped the rest of the homes on the street. Unfortunately this was in the early 80's before even hand held VCR recorders were common.
This used to happen to me all the time. JWs would come direct to my door because my last name (married name) is Spanish. Then my Caucasian face would open the door and tell them I don't speak Spanish. Then they would send someone who spoke English and I would speak only Spanish. Eventually I got tired of being interrupted so I put a sign on my front door and now they leave me/us alone.
When we lived in an apartment complex one of our neighbors threw a bucket of water on some persistent JWs that wouldn’t leave her alone when she was cleaning her patio.
Just say... i got covid, but i will be right there! With everyone using it for an excuse anyway,it seems the perfect opportunity to get rid of the door peddlers 😊
Jehovah's Witness are not going door to door since the start of covid. Jehovah's know the doors when not to visit. It is a "do not work." Once this house is marked before they knock. Please tell the truth.
We lived in the neighborhood behind a JW church and almost every Saturday they would come by.. I put up no sol. signs etc.. i think that worked for most sol.. that is one thing i hated about living in the city.. (we live on a farm now) every day always a knock or doorbell ring.. bad for afternoon nappers (kids).. so we just uninstalled our doorbell..
My Grandfather was a prankster. One day he noticed Jehovah's Witnesses in the neighborhood. So, he put on a Jewish Yamaka (He was not Jewish) and waited... they knocked, he answered, they asked if he would read their literature, he pulled out a Torah and said "I'll read yours if you'll read mine"... they left and never came back.
I fell victim to this . They are persistent. Finally I stop answering the door and at one time, I accidentally answer the doorbell, I told them I was sick and immediately they got scared , thinking I had Covid cause I was coughing. I was actually having an asthma attack. After that, nobody shows up at my door anymore😂😂😂
@@peachygal4153 WTH 😂Are you upset with my comment?? 😊The people who came to my door were from some kind of religious group. I don’t see any benefit of me lying . The only person that will most likely get affected with this are people doing solicitation 😂 This is common in the residential area where I live .
I got a knock on my door one Friday night at 2200ish…. I answered door like all normal people would do at that hour - with my 12 guage, semi-auto, 10rnd bullpup…. funny we don’t get too many visitors anymore….
We had a Jehovah witness family up the road from us. Their religion says they have to go door to door with pamphlets about their church.. They came about once a month and gave us their literature, then left. We always knew it was them because they were the only ones that used our front door. They didn't lecture, just handed us the literature, we said thank you and they left. Nothing wrong with being kind to your neighbors.
Finally, someone being kind to Jehovah's Witnesses. They are doing what they believe they are supposed to do. And no, they don't knock on your door at 6 or 7 a.m. A lot of these comments are from people exaggerating. I suppose a lot of you consider yourself to be Christian. If so, you should be ashamed of yourselves for treating others in such a manner.
My teenage son sorted the Jehovah's Witnesses out real quick. All you have to do is answer the door in your undies with a double bladed axe on your shoulder. Seven years later and they've never tried again.
I don’t understand people when you knock or ring someone’s door and they don’t answer just leave you don’t stand there. You leave obviously there not interested. Stay Safe 👮🏻♂️🚔🚨
I was involved with this cult when I was in my teens. Stay away! Tell them you're an apostate and they will turn around and run. As demonstrated in the video, they will hang around for a long time for someone to answer the door.
They showed up at my door weekly for months. I sat on my couch in full view watching TV. Finally I told them I was church of christ "to which I am " and was nasty they finally stopped coming.
If I'm home. I answer my door sitting in my wheelchair wearing a sidearm under my arm pit. Or sometimes racking my shotgun while they watch me do it. They quickly walk away
I had a uncle who lived on the third floor of a house. And they would come up and knock. He would give them a chance. And tell them you can walk back down or he would help them down funny thing they always left with no help.
I had 2 ladies come as we were going in. My husband and I were having an argument so I turned to them and said no thank you. They replied but we are Jehovah Witnesses. My reply back was then hell no. They left.
When they used to come I just cranked the Alice cooper and me and baby answered door invited them in they would never come in and only stopped by twice kind of ruined our fun
I answer my door to all religions..best one were the Christians,I have the satanic Bible and 4 different other ones so I always take the satanic one to the door.. as they always want to discuss..so I pull mine out and say."let's discuss" they tend to leave pretty quick 👌
The last time Jehova Witnesses came to my parents house I was 17 and sunbathing in the yard with my very protective 100 pounds of pure muscle lab mix. They stopped at the neighbors and when she didn’t answer the door they did something they had never done before, they walked from her house through her yard to ours. My boy knew exactly where the boundaries were and never bothered anyone who stayed off the property but one step onto our property and he would go for you. I wasn’t paying attention to the J.W.’s as I was laying on my stomach, top undone reading a book my boy laying in the shade of a tree. Next thing I know he’s charging the intruders like a hound straight from the bowels of hell, I jump up and run after him boobs bouncing so bad I’m surprised they didn’t black both my eyes screaming back, which was his command to come. He stopped, hackles up, snarling, drool dripping like he had rabies, I grabbed his collar, not shielding myself in anyway and told the J.W.’s who had frozen with, I kid you not one foot inside our property line, they needed to leave. They each took one step back, started to say something and I said again, you need to leave, or I’m letting go. They skedaddled and they never returned. They use to come by monthly but never again after that, don’t know if it was the dog or the lack of clothing or a combination but would do it again in a heartbeat to be rid of them.
You want to scare them away. Otherwise they'll keep bothering you. I remember one salesman (I think it was for some lawn care business or other) who came to the front door. I ignored it, but them he went around to the back door and started knocking there.
These days you know who's knocking on your door...email,text,phone,letter...you will be told of anything important....if you hear a knockn keep on rockn....
I used to tell them that I didn't need another religion in my house bc my husband was Catholic, my children were Jewish & I was Baptist. They always made a hasty retreat 😂
Just because I’m home doesn’t mean I have to answer the door. I find it baffling that there’s an expectation for a person to respond to a knock or doorbell.
Jehovah Witnesses knocked on our door every weekend. My mother told them firmly that their message wasn't welcome as she had her own beliefs. They didn't respect her wishes. One summer day she was baking in a hot kitchen, with her hands were covered in flour. We heard the knock. My mother was exasperated, she threw white flour all over her face and body, ran to the door, flung it open, and waved her apron around the top of her head. She shouted at them 'I am the devil'. You have never seen people run so fast. We never saw them again.
@@evies1050 look how invasive these people are ! They’re just waiting there as if they don’t believe someone is not home. I swear I think if they did that to me I would sic my dog on them.👹
I got tired of johovahs witnesses so one day I invited them in. When they asked what they could do for me, I said I haven’t had sex in a while. They left in a hurry 😂 nothing like a gay man telling straight people that your fake horny 😂 at least I don’t have solicitors anymore 😂
My father would tell them that he was staying with his religion cause only so many of them would go to heaven. And in his religion everyone could go. Lol
We had JW come to our home repeatedly in the Dallas, TX area and finally my husband stepped out on our front porch, told them before we all talked that he needed to pray for them, to the true Jehovah Jesus Christ. They immediately said, no, please sir, don't do that. He told them (very nicely & with respect) that they were on our property and we could pray to the Lord all we wanted to. He began praying out loud, thanking the Lord for protecting us, for being the Great Jehovah Jesus Christ, etc. They quickly left and walked up the street (3 women with several children) and about 5 minutes later a large sedan car drove by, filled with the women, children and two men. They pointed out the window of the car at our house as if saying, never go here again! They never came back.
I lived in a 2 storey house. Downstairs had two roller doors and a door next to it. That door just led to the garage where none of us were. We were upstairs. Everyone we didn't know knocked on the wrong door. It was like a undercover front door.
😂😂😈😈👺👺I did that when I was like 12. Some Jehovah's witnesses came over. My parents worked, so it was just my brother and me, home for the weekend I made my voice as deep as possible and yelled "this is the house of Satan"!! They just laughed it off, put a little booklet in the doorcrack and walked away.
One Saturday morning in December, a couple of JW's came to our door. I'm a night person and I like to sleep in on the weekends, while my wife is more of a daytime person. She was already up, but I was still in bed. I heard the doorbell ring, the doorbell open, some chatter that I either couldn't make out or simply wasn't paying attention to, and then the door closing. A minute later, she comes running upstairs and into the bedroom, laughing so hard that she was in tears. She told me who was at the door, and how she didn't want to be rude to them, but didn't really feel like talking to them either. So without thinking, she told them we were Jewish. To their credit, they left and never came to the door again, but I have to wonder if they actually believed her, considering the wooden reindeer in the yard, the lights all over the front of the house, the wreath on the door, and the 7-foot pine tree in the living room.
An old girlfriend of mine, her Dad did that. These 2 elderly JW ladies would come to the house every 6 weeks, like clockwork. After the naked stunt, they never came back! LOL
One time, when my little, old, sweet, funny Irish mom was living with us, I came home home........to a living room full of Jehovah Witnesses. 😨😨😨. The living room was spread out with cups of tea, cookies and biscuits. We're Catholic. 😂😂😂
They're probably from soka gakkai, its a Buddhist religion here in the states that will sometimes go door to door like some other faiths with missionaries. They're alright people, I've met a few and spoke Japanese with them to practice from time to time at my boring retail job. They're not as aggressive with getting you to join the cause as some other religious movements, but they'll press it from time to time.
@@jedburnell9046 Sounds like a good idea, the kids don't need to feel any worse than they already do, being somewhere and doing something they most likely don't want to do In my head, the 18+'s are free game to scare and make fun of Like the time I offered them food because they looked homeless (sidenote: I DO offer food to the local homeless people, but i was quite hungover/drunk/tired, so I didn't get their intent) Also, a LGBT+ flag in the entrance will greatly annoy some of them, whether you are in that society or not, because "it doesn't follow their ideals"
JW's are hard to get rid of. Once in an old neighborhood I lived in It was a Saturday morning about 7:00am. I was sitting on a beautiful park bench outside my porch with my coffee enjoying my morning. This was in 2012 and we had an iron gate with a lock on it and we lived on a court. Well, I seen 4 ladies being dropped off at the corner of my street with 2 men with brief cases. The ladies were going house to house that early in the morning. No one answered the door and here they come walking my way because they see me. One very aggressive woman began rattling my gate trying to get inside to speak to me. I kept drinking my coffee watering my grass. Then the aggressive woman kept saying to me ma'am let me in I'd like to talk with you. I ignored her and kept drinking my coffee. So I think she became upset because I wouldn't talk to her. So.... she proceeded to take about 20 of her shitty jw hand booklets and toss them over the gate on my lawn. She was mad at that point. I walked over there and picked up the booklets that were soaked in water and tore them up in piece's then gave them to her. I told her if she needed to be cooled off I could spray her with the garden hose. She left quickly with her hand books but not without a good spray from me. I don't care, she deserved it and had it coming😤 Those people are like a disease you can't get rid of.
I actually had my husband put barricade across bottom of 1000ft long driveway. They would climb over and walk to house to sell their religion. Really annoying
They asked me if I read the Bible, and I said yes, it's my favorite book. It has murder, incest, UFOs, giants, magic, sex and.... I couldn't finish because they hastily retreated and never came back...
We once had some jehovah witnesses start walking up our driveway and I shouted out the kitchen window "Get the f#uck off my property or I will let the dogs out!" They left. My two mini dachshunds were disappointed.
I try to be respectful of a person's faith or religion. However, Jehovah Witnesses who come to my neighborhood are very rude. I had a family who practically camped out on my porch waiting for me to come out. The lady had a whole bunch of children, one she was holding. I answered truthfully that I am getting dressed to go to work and that I wasn't interested. She said that she would wait for me to come out and they all sat on my porch furniture. I was already late for work and I zoomed past them so fast that I cannot remember locking both doors. I thought that was rude.
@Debbie I was too angry to react. The pandemic didn't stop the harassment. Our mailboxes are bombarded with handwritten letters from them. The letters are so personal, it's like they watch our homes or something. The neighborhood is not amused.
@@diva70smusic tell them to get off your property and do not return, or do not contact me again, and then continue with trespassing or harassment charges if repeated. That's super shady of them, and rude
Oh yeah if you tell them your not interested and they still camp out on your property.then it's time to call the police to get the people to leave. a town I use to live in different religions would show up at my home. I got to a point I just wouldn't answer the door anymore.
@@moonxshakti I will if there is a next time. I was just so angry that day and running late for work. That weekend I cleaned all the furniture off my front porch 😤!
As kids, we used to get "missionaries" selling Watchtower at our home nearly every Saturday morning during cartoon time. Our Modus Operandi was to strip off our pajamas and answer the door in our underwear - they didn't stick around very long
One day my daughter was so absolutely sick of them coming to our door at the butt ass crack of dawn they rang the bell and she got out of bed and threw the door open so fast they didn’t have a chance to say shit and she screams in their face I LOVE CHRISTMAS 🎅 and promptly slams the door and goes back to bed. You know it has been well over 12 years and not one has ever came back to our home! I guess she got us BLACK LISTED True story. Tired frustrated teen saved our weekends!!!
I've had local JW in my neighborhood and they've NEVER been a problem.They've always been polite when I've told I wasn't interested.On the other hand I had a real problem with Calvinists.When I told them I was an atheist they threw a fit and refused to leave until I threatened to call the cops.
The JWs came to my door and asked if I am ready to find the true God. I said, I have never lost him. Did they need help finding him? I have never seen people looking so confused in my life. I was quickly given a book and they left. 🤣
My father in law would invite witnesses and other religious groups into his house quickly ask them to sit down before they could take in their surroundings fully. He would then grab a book from the shelf and sit down himself. It would then start to dawn on them whose house they had just walked into. The piano in the corner the photos of a man with a dog collar on and my father in law opening the bible he'd just picked up and asking them to talk to him about God. It's funny as they always seemed to make their excuses and make a very hasty retreat. He was a minister with nearly 10 years of university studies and 40 years services to the church under his belt which always seemed to unnerve them 😁😁😁😁
@@erict956 Don't be too concerned. I was brought up in the Baptist church and our pastors wear collared shirts and ties. If you want to be concerned about anything I guess it should be why I thought it had something to do with S&M
@@jcrefasi1 no trust me that was my concern lol. It's just another name for a clerical collar. It's more prevalent in the Anglican, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic churches.
Imagine being a religious solicitor being met at the door by a lady with a python (alive) around her body. Si's was cleaning her snakes cage when interrupted by 2 women, who backstepped then ran to their car. Never was bothered again..the little heathen!
@@sparkplug1018 I think it's an instinct thing, but they are also very negatively portrayed in the Bible Also, pythons are neither poisonous or that dangerous to humans, so I find it sad that they're portrayed as bad/dangerous animals
It's appalling to see solicitors for religions, politicians, people asking to contribute $30.000.00 to complete their Coffee House Business or others wanting cash to "help" students go to college when nobody gave me a penny to send my child to college! All these people seem to miss my black and white in their faces NO SOLICITING sign! Wow!
I have one myself. It drives me crazy that I inevitably hear back "But, I'm not selling anything". You're trying to get something out of me, that's soliciting. Soliciting isn't just about sales. You're too thoughtless for me to want to speak with you.
Deputy Bad Ass, They view themselves as "Religious Pioneers" so maybe write that in black shipping marker on a piece of photocopy paper and tape it to the bottom of your No Soliciting sign. See if they honour that statement. If not, have at 'em.
Wouldn’t it be fun to solicit a solicitor!!? Like hey come in... boy do I have some shit to sell you! And you must listen to my pitch before I listen to yours... and take up like 2 hrs of their time! Though, I can only dream of that... as I don’t hVe the time in real life.
I was cleaning my garage when some mormons showed up and offered to help so I was like yeah sure. They hungout and helped for about an hour, they didn't convert me but they were alright dudes.
Ive done something similar before. While working on my project car they walked up to the garage with their pitch. I just listened patiently, and when there was an opening I started trying to sell them everything in the garage. Now look I know this car doesn't run right now, but she's a sweet car to have, sure you're not interested? After about 5 min of not letting them get a word in they left and haven't been back.
We had lazy ones in my neighborhood, they'd knock on the door and give you about 2 seconds to answer then they were off to the next house! I guess they had stuff to do on a Saturday too!
The ones I met mostly just seemed like they were obligated to spend a certain amount of time doing their chore of dropping off the their magazines.i guess they are off the hook once the magazines are gone because one sweet older lady just gave me her entire handful and then she had that look of relief that now her day belongs to her now,I really felt sorry for her that she got into that trap
Post a sign and turn the dog loose, worked every time. The one time one got persistent and decided to assault the dog, quickly left with a small donation after the rifle came out. Just because you can find my home doesn't mean I want you there. If someone needs my help I'm happy to give it to those in need, but otherwise, they can stay the hell off my lawn.
Haha I live in a house with three big dogs. I don't even gotta open the door or tell someone to leave. the dogs will bark and half the time they leave. I live in Florida and I've got to the point unless I'm expecting you or know the person the door doesn't open. so many solicitors and criminals. i won't even open the door or leave it unlocked these days it's just not safe.
I have Jehovah’s Witness people come to my door from time to time. I just leave them standing there. They usually move on quickly. They are supposed to keep track of those who didn’t respond. During the pandemic they wrote me twice. Don’t know how they got my name. They haven’t resumed their knocking on doors yet.
I know we have freedom of religion, but it should be illegal to try to solicit people to join your religion or church. I am Christian, and NEVER will I impose my religious beliefs nor religion on others who didn't ask for it. In my opinion, you shouldn't go door to door recruiting people for your church stuff. If someone wants to be a Christian, Catholic, Jewish, they can choose themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses are annoying as fuck. Trespassing. I just say I'm already familiar with God, and don't prefer to divulge information about my personal religion. Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day, regardless. And shut the door in their faces.
Next time a bible thumper knocks on my door I'm going to answer the door naked (I'm a 6ft 2in Black guy, for visualization purposes) & wait calmly for their reactions like I do this naturally
I answered the door one time and there they were ,two women telling me it was the end of the world. I started celebrating in front of them, one woman asked me what do I think about the trees and plants surviving. I answered don't worry it's the end of the world no one cares we get to meet our maker. She kept pushing it and I kept in a spiritual party mode to forget the plants and the trees God will take care of it. Another response I gave her was no more taxes no more mortgage no more cars no more pain in the ass people. Her response to me was you must be a Christian. My response was hell no I'm a Catholic. They never ever came back. They walk the neighborhood but it seems like they know not to knock on my door. I'm waiting for the same to to come back so I can ask them why they lied in Jesus's name that the world was over. That was fourteen years ago those two witnesses lied.
@@Mynameisthesenuts49 Everyone believes in something. I am proud believer in Jesus and His word and if that makes me a 'bible thumper', then so be it. It won't affect your oxygen intake
@@Mynameisthesenuts49 if you notice, the main common denominator of all religions is narcissism to the max. They ALL will try to sell some form of immortality and being the only ones who will be saved. It appeals to narcissistic people who want to feel “special” at someone else’s expense. That’s why they need “the devil.” It makes them look “good.” 🤷🏻♀️
You're hilarious :-) I've had a rookie mormon missionary leave my doorstep in tears, that was a good day. I had to get inside to check on the news whether the digs on the Great Plains have turned up any of those metal chariot wheels yet... a fellow Catholic.
@@Mynameisthesenuts49 hi. Sorry fot your troubles. Yes it is as close as anyone one can get to the real bible. Only god and the apostles know of how old it is. Plus a real bible would require me to learn a different language. F y i , it was written in a different language thousands of years ago. It is better to have faith then need it and not have it
I never open my door to anybody unless I'm expecting somebody. Amazing to me how these religious people think the "No Solicitors" sign doesn't apply to them, and, they will stand at your door 10 minutes. Why? I don't care if you know I'm home or not. It's my prerogative whether or not I open my house door. I don't care if you pull up a chair and sit there for half a day, I'm still not opening that door.
Why don't you open the door and tell them to leave? When they don't immediately leave, call the police - they are trespassing as soon as you tell them to leave the property if they don't immediately leave.
@@JustHazardous Because some people pose as religious people, just to have you open the door. I don't want to open my door. It's my house , I don't have to open my door, speak to anybody that's not invited to my house. They want you to open the door, you don't know if they have a weapon. Just because they carry a Bible, doesn't mean they're not con people. Use your head, these days nothing is like it seems, period. Plus, they're disturbing me in the privacy of my home. You see the ''No solicitors" sign, abide by it. I worked all my life, my at home time is my at home time, time to relax, not jump up and answer the door or answer phone scammers. I shouldn't have to call police, you are trespassing on my property without my permission.
I don't get many solicitors, but I think I'd like to make enough noise inside to let them know I was home, and just ignore them. My dog would probably be barking, too.
What can be resisted and suppressed in unrighteousness, even though there is evidence, does not nullify the eternal truth! It is not a matter of a lack of evidence..... it is a matter of the sinner's suppression of the evidence! Sinners suppress the truth of their God given conscience in unrighteousness because of a love for sin and a hatred for God. *"An atheist cannot find God for the same reason that a criminal cannot find a police officer!"*
