Edmo Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Never had a issue with salesmen, religious folks or liberals at the door. Just send them on their way politely. Some of them push, I say goodbye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I politely told them, after they tried to swoon me with small talk about having a flower pot on my front patio, that I am not interested. I began to close to door politely and the lady said something to the affect, "Oh, you don't care about your future"? Click went the door. Like all races/religion, I guess some are different than others. This couple looked to be in their 70's+. If you ever speak to any of them again, ask how many folks are going to Heaven, then ask if any heaven bound folks are not JW..should be an interesting answer you'll get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 A couple years ago a car stopped in front of the house and they walked up the driveway. Damn cute blonde and I almost converted lol. The wife answered the door holding onto our Dobie and they weren't scared of him. Wife said not interested and they left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) They’re less intrusive than most high flyers. I tell them that I’m not interested and they leave. They seem to keep their religious dogma out of trying to influence political and social issues too.

Guest Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 One of my few buds is a Witness. Talks about it some, but I told him right off, that I am not religious. Has tried to get me to go to some of their big conferences, etc. I never go. I asked him about their women, and he said they are brought up to be chaste, hose-bags are frowned upon. I told him if I had known that I would have gone to their functions fifty fukkin years ago. Anything would have been better than the street tramp, hose-bag, worthless cunts I met years ago. Most of those pieces of shit that I banged still ended up getting married though. There's always a dirty sock for every smelly shoe!!! Generally-speaking, those Genovas are decent people, from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Oh yeah, he had a horror-show at a cop's house one time. The cop went crazy on him, yelling, telling him to GTFO!!! Most people are OK with them coming to the door, but he has run into some bad responses. They are trained how to handle the situation. I told him I would not cold-walk up to someone's house nowadays, if my fukkin' life depended on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Jackson Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I've had Jehovah employees and done a lot of business with Jehovah owned companies. Overwhelmingly nice people. Had one employee who discovered weed and pussy at about the same time. Not long after he was shunned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually had several talks with Jehovies over the years. Always very nice. My father was really good at dealing with "door-to-door heaven sellers". He was a staunch atheist that loved to invite them all in for conversations. He was weird. Not like me...it must skip a generation. my mother would stand at the window rubbing her hands together saying excellent when she saw them coming up the walk and would invite them in for "discussion", they would leave scratching their heads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 If you think about it, going door-to-door to SELL your religion, kind of implies that...…..your religion sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 My mom would leave the house when she saw them coming down the street. What irritates me the most is the dogs go nuts the same time I have to deal with some fantasy believer. Fund raisers I don't mind. Give them $20 to go away so I can get back to what I was doing.

My Genova buddy meets me at a local breakfast place about once or twice a month. Comes over once in a great while to get some firewood. We were all supposed to go out to eat, but that never came about, but they were ready to go, so I don't know about the socializing thing, but it's probably somewhat true. Bottom line...……………….Genovas are about the last people to worry about. We got a lot of others out there to really worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our next door neighbors got into it when we were growing up. Turned into fucking weirdos. They are big on Anniversaries. They have parties for that but nothing else. I have an aunt and uncle who are Jehovah and 2 of their 4 kids are still in the religion. I plow the local Kingdom Hall. Good people. I send an invoice, they drive a cheque to my door. Of course that comes with a discussion about my future but...meh... I read an article in the Watchtower now and then, we chat and shake hands. All good. My aunt and uncle, bit of a mess right now. Their oldest daughter, Darlene (who is not Jehovah, left at 16) has moved back home to help deal with my uncle's dementia. The 2 "good" kids won't help the parents what so ever. I've invited Darlene to my house for breaks from the 2 of them and a couple of drinks. Gotta be interesting in that house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
