No Jehovah Witnesses !!!

  Around here, in my neighbourhood, there are many apartment buildings, and I remeber as a JW, how many people didn't want to be bothered by us JW's.

  So, I took my camera this morning and went around in a few apartment buildings and took pictueres of all kinds of signs on doors, telling witnesses not to knock at their door, and go away !!!

  On this first picture, it's quite polite. It says in french, No Solicitor. I don't know if thats the proper translation, but it means anyone selling stuff or any kinds of pests, go away !!! It also says, we are Catholics and please respect our faith. So we all know who this message is for...

  

  Next door. Same thing but bigger. How can a JW not see it. Years ago, a JW would still knock on a door written "pas de colporteur", but today, the JW's around here anyways, don't knock on these doors.

  

  And finally a last picture I took. This one is very direct !!!

  

  It says Jehovah Witnesses, please abstain yourselves..

  I see signs like these in just about every apartment building around here. This one is hand made, but I saw some in the past that looked as if they were sold in stores.

  Jehovah Witnesses, please abstain yourselves..

  LOL, then it says "welcome" underneath! ie, everyone else BUT JWs is welcome here.

  Is this a common thing where you are? I've seen very few signs here.

  It is VERY commun here.

  I'd say 1 house out of 10 has a NO JW sign on the door clearly visible.

  In an apartment building with 6 flats, I'd say that atleas 1 door has a NO JW sign on it.

  And then, there are the other doors with nothing written on it, that still don't want to see the JW's, but don't want a stupid ugly sign on their doors.

  JW's are not too welcome in this neighbourhood.

  I'm thinking about printing this and posting on my front door when I see jws in the neighborhood.

  What a great translation 'please abstain yourselves'!

  How about "God Squad - withhold yourselves"

  or "bible bashers bugger off"

  That reminds of a gay couple I know in Seattle that have a "No soliciting" sign on their front porch. Dave answered the door and there was a dub standing there. She starts her spiel (sp?) and he points to the sign and says, "You see this sign?" The dub says, "I'm not selling anything," and he responds, "you're" selling hate." She left.
