They come here like every Saturday. I just take the Watchtower and say, "Thanks!" I like to have a pile of them by the door in case annoying people come knocking, like the TV inspector or the people trying to sell Air-tricity or the crowd that tries to get us to change our land line or broadband. As soon as I open the door and see one of these people, I grab a Watchtower and ask if they have Jesus in their life and would they like to talk about God and do they want to take a pamphlet to read. Works on almost all of them, except for the little traveller kids who come collecting for "charity." Haven't seen those freakin Air-Tricity people in months, thank fuck. They just skip our house now.
Maybe they've changed their tactics post-911, but my friend Rich, who briefly was a JW (to impress his JW girlfriend) swore that they had NO reply to, "But how can you believe in Jesus Christ when the Quran clearly states that Mohammed is the last and greatest prophet of Allah?"
I just tell them, "Thank you, but I'm already a Christian." And shut the door. They're definitely DNE folks.
But you are not the right kind, I'm sure!!! I get annoyed because I have a couple friends here who were super duper JW in a past life and basically are banished from their families because they are no longer JW. Their families are not even permitted to be in contact with them. It's disgusting.
Haha, I had some religious group come by once with a pamphlet that was basically a Q&A solution to all of of life's problems. Such as:
Q: Why is there so much hatred in the world? A: [insert random biblical passage]
The woman shut up when I went on a long spiel about how we really couldn't understand the Bible unless we read it in its original form (i.e., Ancient Greek, or even better, Hebrew), and that I read 7 languages, and that those passages were out of context and in bastardized English. That's a good way to get rid of them.
