why don’t jehovah and his witnesses fuck off
Funny how so many have their own JW stories to relate!
I, unfortunately, did the opposite from OOP: young and hapless, I told them that I think Jesus had one or two good points in his message, but I’m still not interested. You can imagine how that went: from biweekly visits to weekly visits. At some point, when I saw them through the spyhole, I started shouting “Njet!” just for shits and giggles. That’s when they started sending Russian girls.
Then one day I opened the door and said that if they don’t stop harassing me I’ll call the police.
That helped.
Which, when you think about it, means that they know what they’re doing is borderline illegal.
Ex here; they keep a list of problem addresses to avoid sending people to,but even that is generally reevaluated every few years. While I wouldn’t want you to threaten my mom or brother who are still in, being problematic in some way will definitely get you less return visits than trying to be reasonable in discussing anything with them. Having a conversation to them is a exploitable opening.
I’ve found swearing at them in butchered Icelandic to be rather effective personally. But that also probably works for me because I look feral at best, long haired bearded dude with dead eyes wearing a Czech military jacket probably sets off some folks alarm.
My father, who is a hardcore Ortodox Cristian, claimed he worshipped the devil when a Jehovah’s witness tried to speak to him. He was a child then btw.
I’m gonna ask my partner, an escapee of that awful cult, if that ever happened to her back in the bad old days 😁
Had a guy answer the door once in his tighty-whities and the lady i was with didn’t notice, just ran through her whole spiel.
Not all heroes wear capes, and some don’t wear anything.
Uhhhhhh…can I succumb? That sounds like a good time. I’ve never had magic devil sex before…
you al’ight if I threesome with you
That’s actually part of their plan. They send their newest recruits to proselytise, knowing that they’ll get doors slammed in their faces, be sworn at, and face other hostility. This will reinforce in them the belief that the outside world is hostile to them, and only the cult can help them.
Newest designation is more a mormon thing. JWs want proselytization for life. My mother has been JW for about 40 years, and because of her current husband just about the only external interaction she gets is spending more than 90 hours a month proselytizing (a “honorable” title called pioneer that requires certain amounts per month).
There’s no real thing about not doing it after being in a while or anything; all the positions or whatever that make you be in good standing require at least devoting your weekend mornings to service, and they have specific terms for missing time: “irregular” for one month, “inactive” for 6+.
Even people with disabilities preventing walking are encouraged to write people, call people on the phone, etc.
Exactly. Almost everything the JWs do is intended to isolate their members from any other community.
Same thing with the holidays.
This is true and sad, but not really my problem: because a friendly No does not help with them. I tried.
Thats why you get really polite and explain that you’re satisfied with your gods and so are all of your husbands and wives.
Bipolar manic phase?
Look a non believer.
Respect devil magic when you see it.
It appears to be a manifestation of hypersexual behavior typical to the manic side of bipolar, possibly even that of the initial psychotic break into bipolar.
But thinking of science as magic that works is aok with me.
I’ve worked in behavioral health for 20 years, and I feel that this was more that she was fucking sick of JWs, which I 100% get. I had a pair visit my apartment complex weekly. I told them no soliciting was allowed per management. They said they aren’t selling anything. I asked if their church ever asked for money, and they never returned.
