When 'Hovahs Come To My Door...

Ah, but do they honor and respect it?

I'm not sure, Lew. Either they have yet to make another visit(last one was almost a year ago), or they do indeed respect it. Maybe since the sign's spelling isn't the correct way to say the name, they won't respect it. Wouldn't doubt it.

Why not let em' and have a little chat with you? Wouldn't that be more fun than the sigh?

Hey TR you sign making old bastard!......Either they have yet to make another visit(last one was almost a year ago), or they do indeed respect it.

Remember now......you should get a visit from two brothers at least once a year. This policy is still in effect I believe.......to call on all those on the territory cards that have stated they wish to have no visits by the Witnesses. Why? You might have a change of heart....or move.

I'm going with the change of heart deal as you seem to have a soft spot for the little dubbers in reality.......now don't you?.....come on.....admit it ya little rascal!

Really? How funny, it is spelled like that in my language.

Love the sign btw.

If I was a dub coming to your door, and I saw the way the name is written, I would just assume you are some dingo worldly person who not only doesn't know the correct JW name, but just hates the dubs for whatever reason worldly people hate dubs...

Would I knock? I dunno.... it's been awhile...

The red gives it a very nice Satanic effect, however.

If others are not into sign making, here's another idea: Several years before I ever even HEARD of JWs, I was dating a guy who lived in a big log-cabin-house with a bunch of other guys on Main Street, Aspen, CO. They had a stuffed-teddy-bear hanging from their front door frame, with a real wooden-stake pierced right through the heart of the teddy-bear. And from the wooden-stake hung a little white sign with big black letters which said, "NO JWs!!"

I was horrified at the graphic nature of it, so I asked my boyfriend, "What is that for? What does it mean?" He immediately became agitated and barked that the JWs come to their door ALL THE TIME and they were sick to death of it. (About three or four years later I ended up studying with the dubs, and, yes, seems the territory out there got covered quite a bit.)

Why didn't you just get one that says "Anyone attempting to convert me to their "religion" will be stripped naked and flagellated after having steak stapled to their faces and being made to run through a field packed with hungry wolves!"?

TR

Gumby and Marilyn are right, of course. I would talk to them. Hell, my own brother is still a 'hovah! I bought the sign for fun. If and when my bro comes for a visit, I might have to take it down.

Syn,

I do love your idea for a sign. IT ROCKS!
