Discouraging JWs From Calling

    I was reading an anti cult Reddit post where a woman (ex Mormon) was trying her hardest to discourage the Mormons from visiting her and trying to convert her back. A few others chimed in about their various methods (coming to the door naked, pretending to be practicing black magic, etc.) which they claimed would have the Mormons and JWs running away as fast as possible.

    Somehow, I doubt it. Even if now you believe it not to be true, you were probably in for some time and you didn't come down in the last shower 🚿. Did that sort of thing have you running for the exits, or was it more the sort of thing that made you roll your eyes?

    The best to do is tell them you are an apostate, but that may cause other problems for you depending on your status and family in the WTS.

    The woman who studied with me told me A householder came to the door naked. She just looked at his eyes and did her presentation.

    I had one come to the door in only his tighty whites”. I also gave a very very brief presentation. That kind of thing would not send me running. A vicious dog would.

    i remember in my early teens a man answered his door holding a frying pan with his breakfast in it, it was on fire.

    I have a sign on my door that states that if you ring or knock with any sales pitch or religious presentation. A sum of $50 dollars will be collected at the beginning of the presentation. If you don't want to pay the fee for me to listen. Leave!

    Just tell them NO, NOT INTERESTED. And close the door.

    That always works for me.

    I had two Witness men knock on my door over a year ago.

    They were working the area and didn’t know me. I was polite to them but gave them an abbreviated story of my experience as a working person who got ‘shunned’ . I said I wouldn’t have retired if I didn’t work.

    I said I’d never go back to the religion and am not interested in being asked to give money or charity for people there who hardly worked if at all.. So, I doubt these JWs would call on me again!🤣
