  Waiting for the JWs to come to my door...

  i read about the new tract distribution and thought to myself how should i react, when they come to my door.

  finally today, after finishing my morning coffee, i got an idea!

  i'll take the tract, look at it, look at them, and with a nice smile rip it up and hand it back to them with :"have a great day!

  Nonjwspouse, but "WHY?" is it disrespectful is the question. They come to my door bringing their opinions to me, why cannot I show them my opinion?

  Finkelstein, I'm talking about my part of the world where almost every person has an access to the Internet (home, library, caffes, airport, subway (soon)...) If I lived in a 3. world country I would't say what I said.

  The Searcher, thanks for your post. If you read the whole think you would know that I lost my faith in God and the Bible, "thanks" to JW. Beside I do not want to reason with them, I just want to make it clear to them, in some way, that they are spreading lies that affect vulnerable people (they got me after the death of my 19 year old brother), that make false statements that cannot be proven, and make promises that cannot be kept...

  Still waiting to hear WHY so many people think that ripping a tract is disrespectful. And also remind you respect is earned, it cannot be demanded. And I certainly have no respect for all those lies that the WT is spreading. They make people unhappy, ruin their lives and even kill!

  It is disrespectful to rip up a newspaper or add mail? I do it all the time to line my parrot's cage. What is so different about a WT tract? I am not burning Bibles or somebody's national flag. Give me a break. I feel like being back in the KH. So much hypocricy...

  What do you have with the "kids"? First of all, I never had "kids" coming to my door (an elderly couple, 2 older pioneer sisters, and an elder and his pioneer wife). And of course, I adjust my "presentation" to the "needs" of the audience :)

  Sir82, did you forget that it is JW who teach that if you are a part of an organization, you are personally responsible for its actions (that's why they don't join any org. except teirs)? Whoever perpetuate a lie IS a lier, as well. I am not angry, I take responsability for my choices, too. And all I want to show by this action is that I don't believe their lies.

  Finkelstein, you are wrong. Ignorance is a choice and in this "Information age" it is not even an excuse, any longer. And you well know, they won't read any information you point them to...

  Kate, there is only one "them", "they" are united (their own words). They all believe the same things and they are all responsible for their thoughts, words, and actions.
