Well done.

That's 35 minutes on their "witnessing card" instead of one minute.

A good way to invite another visit.

You certainly can. Of course, not all J-Wits call on a Saturday morning either. And not all travel in numbers (like Tusken Raiders). However, if these three things are in evidence all at the same time it adds-up to an indisputable reason not to get as far as opening the door.

[PeckhamRose]

I just tell them to go forth and multiply. But in a sweary fashion. I'm like that up until about 10.00am. Self employment is good like that. Right: breakfast...

[Ridgley]

Why is the race of the Persons relevant?

[*Bob*]

Must we? Must we really? There's really no need. Not this time.

[Alan Medic]

I regularly get Spanish JW's at the door. It's very relevant as they know my wife is Spanish and white as are they. They pick on people they may have something else in common with. *Bob* is probably black and they know it.

[????]

I don't think we should bring up their religion either *Bob*

[WorkingMummy]

I wrote to the leader of the local church that knocks on doors and junk mails with leaflets containing a ridiculous combination of protestations of love and threats about hell (presumably if you do not accept the love). I was a bit of an arsey lawyer about it. Told him I revoked the implied licence for him or his flock to come onto my property and asked him not to trespass.

He was absurdly "I will be gracious and grant your highly unreasonable request" about it, but, no more knocking...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

As it happens, the CofE incumbent is allowed into your property if you are in his/her parish.

(I could be making that up, but I have a vague memory about it.)

[WorkingMummy]

That sounds oddly plausible. Fortunately, not so much join us or be damned from the CofE though. More, would you please support our Christmas tree competition.

Of course, there are exceptions...

Honestly, I don't mind as they're well meaning people IMO (mind you I do work most Saturdays)

And sometimes I say "not today thank you" and they politely leave.

I quite like it that "person in towel and socks witnessed for 35 minutes" is written somewhere.

Makes me smile.

[NomDePlume]

Anyone whom thinks it's perfectly alright to attempt doorstep indoctrination at anytime is seriously maladjusted.

And should be treated with a fair amount of caution and equal amount of ridicule.

Pity and fear these folk and all of similar ilk, extremism manifests itself by degrees, these mild mannered, suited and booted terrorists will hijack your reason, if allowed.

Beguiling and demure with their Cheshire cat grins. Be-aware fellow forumites your Saturdays are sacrosanct!

They will get you for that. Trust me.

They even have their own uniform now- I saw 2 young blonde girls in Lordship Lane yesterday with navy blue hoodies and 'JW' in large pink letters emblazoned on the front.

[edhistory]

Not their first uniform.

I read an account of a visit to a JW 'service' by a clinical psychologist and he said they used techniques of speech that psychologists use.

Worryingly, there was an advertisement for the Church of Scientology on tv last week just caught the last glimpse- anyone else catch that?

[csaddleton]

I got home at 4am after a rather fun night on the town, woken up at 9am by the blighters. One was not amused.

[*Bob*]

Which one? The big one or the little one?

[csaddleton]

This one.
