Why can't Jehovah Witnesses take a hint that you want them to leave?

Did Jesus stop preaching and teaching to those who asked him to stop? No. He died for it. In fact, he died so that those who killed him could live. If Jesus commanded YOU to do the same, would you listen?(MT.28: 19,20). Jesus message IS a life saving message. Be thankfull someone would die for you so that you might be saved. Outside the USA many have died or have be severely mistreated for the message of life that the Bible has. Maybe Jesus IS trying to tell you something. Matt. 24:14 says that "This good news of the kingdom WILL BE PREACHED in all the earth, and then the end will come". Instead, be thankfull the end has not come yet, and listen to the life saving message. Or, ask that you be put on the "DO NOT CALL LIST". Don't be too hasty.

Don't listen to these people, besides eating & drinking, the next thing is negative answers, which most of them just sit and wait for a ??? like yours.\n\nAsk them "how many became members of your religious organization?" last year.\n\nLast year 2005, 247,631, became Jehovah's Witnesses and everyone of these had to change their minds pertaining to the false teachings that they had been taught, these were people that used their own Bible, King James, etc., 28,384 were from the United States. \n\nAsk them "how many buildings to worship in did you build last year?\n\nDuring the service year, 2,340 Kingdom Halls were completed around the world. This represents an average of 195 halls per month, or just over 6 per day! Since November 1999 when the construction program in lands with limited resources began, 7,730 Kingdom Halls have been built. In many areas, once a hall is finished, meeting attendance soars and halls are soon filled to capacity.\n\nBy the way "lightblue 100" most of what he says is "untrue" "lie" this person just hates Jehovah's Witnesses, which he has a right to do so, or he is one of many "disfellowshipped" who have nothing better to do, but  to talk in a negative way and why? \n\nSome of the offenses that could merit disfellowshipping from the Christian congregation are fornication, adultery, homosexuality, greed, extortion, thievery, lying, drunkenness, reviling, spiritism, murder, idolatry, apostasy, and the causing of divisions in the congregation.\n\nBelieve me, the best thing to happen in your lifetime is this:  Become a Jehovah's Witness and have a future, which they do not, remember what King David said in chapter 37 of Psalms\n\n9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off,\nBut those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.\n\n11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.\n\n22 For those being blessed by him will themselves possess the earth,\nBut those upon whom evil is called by him will be cut off.\n\n29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will reside forever upon it.\n\n34 Hope in Jehovah and keep his way,\nAnd he will exalt you to take possession of the earth.\nWhen the wicked ones are cut off, you will see [it].\n\n40 And Jehovah will help them and provide them with escape.\nHe will provide them with escape from wicked people and save them,\nBecause they have taken refuge in him.

It is true that Jehovah's Witnesses are not loved by everyone.\nhttp://jw-media.org/newsroom/human_rights.htm\nSome people are rude to Jehovah's Witnesses out of ignorance, or over some misunderstanding. A few may have had a bad personal experience with an individual who claimed to be a Jehovah's Witness, and prejudicially extended their animus to this entire Christian religion.\n\nHowever, it seems that the majority of anti-Witness hatred is motivated by religious intolerance and bigotry. A few may even be motivated against their Christian worship by the unseen 'god of this system of things', Satan the Devil.\n\n(2 Corinthians 4:4) the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers\n\nInterestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:\n\n(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.\n\n(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.\n\n(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.\n\n(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.\n\nIt seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/jt/index.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/w/2003/3/1/article_01.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/w/2002/4/1/article_01.htm

Some one will no doubt tell you some sh*t like: "That's his plan," or "The lord works in mysterious ways."\nThe latter being like a record that they will not shut off.\n\nIf are religious and think about god logically, you will soon find you have made a mistake.

Try a "No proselytizing" sign. This refers specifically to religious people coming to your door and trying to convert you. (Of course, this assumes that they're even literate enough to know what the sign means.)

i had the same problem. just put a note on the door saying "mormons and jehovahs, please leave me alone" i did and it worked!

Leave and tell them why you are leaving, but don't say I love you or maybe we'll be together later.  That drives people crazy.

Give it up then.  Sheesh, can't you take a hint?

The decision regarding who will be saved is not subject to human musings but only to divine justice and mercy.  Yet who can deny the Apostle Peter's logic:?\n(John 6:68) “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life\n\nObviously, sitting inside a JW Kingdom Hall is not some talisman of salvation. Accurate knowledge and true worship that pleases the Almighty are required, no matter one's physical associations.\n\nIt will do a Satanist no good to be near Jehovah's Witnesses when judgement comes, so he should stop trying to please humans and stop limping upon two opinions.\n\n(1 Kings 18:21) “How long will YOU be limping upon two different opinions? If Jehovah is the true God, go following him; but if Baal is, go following him

i think people should spread their faith but not be so insisting like the jehovahs and push into ppls lives. i think its ok to let people be aware of your religion so others may consider it if it appeals to them. i hate how people threaten and be like o yah ur gonna go to hell if you arent a believer

If I'm busy working, it annoys me - but only momentarily because I just tell them I'm don't believe in God so I'm not interested. If I'm not busy though, I actually quite welcome it, because I like talking to people with different world views from my own. I see it as a challenge to win someone over to my viewpoint. So when Jehovah's witnesses knock on my door, I suggest to them that religion is inherently authoritarian and actively discourages critical thinking so that it can operate to keep people docile in their subjection to stable power relations. \n\nThe problem is that I find the majority of religious people prefer psychologically to accept a reassuring dogma rather than engage in a critical debate and meet the implicit criticism of a dissenting viewpoint. But I like to think that at the least they will appreciate the fact that I took an interest in their ideas and shared my own with them. After all, they do mean well, they want to help me... and nobody likes to be met with indifference

They are listening but don't want to apprear to be.\n2Co 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. \nThey need to hear too.

I believe the Jahovah's Witness Church does not allow people to give or receive blood, but I am not sure what their reason is.

Some of your other posts make it highly doubtful you are a witness of Jehovah. Not to mention the fact that in one post you requested information known to witnesses so that you could date a "Jehovah's Witness."\n\nIf you have a dislike for witnesses, that is perfectly understandable ,.. many do.  If you once were a witness but have left, that is perfectly understandable as well.  You have that right.\n\nBut calling yourself a witness and then posting such things as you do suggests that your aim is, well let us say, less than admirable.  You might be surprised to know that many non-witnesses are quite familiar with witnesses and are able to detect a fraud.  You should keep in mind that when people set out to make others look foolish, they usually end up looking foolish themselves.

What do you think of members of other Religious Organizations that do not have the Bible Knowledge to go from door to door and talk to people, regardless of what Religion they may be.\n\nAnd do not tell me that other Religions do not use books, pamphlets, cd's, etc., because they do.  And most of them charge for these items, whereas this organization that you are referring to, gives everything for free.\n\nYou people are always complaining, when all you have to do is tell the person you are not interested, when someone tells me they are not interested or they are rude, I simply say: "you have a nice day" and move on, because there are people that are interested in talking, and they are not rude.\n\nOh, I do not want to forget this, there were 247,631 people in 2005 that were completely "brainwashed" and became Jehovah's Witnesses.\n\n"ron c" Michael Jackson is not a Jehovah's Witnesses, He was disfellowshipped about 20 years ago.  Who knows, maybe he belongs to your Religion.

Right here!! I was feeling alone on Y! Answers too. I get what you're saying. Not alone as in being alone, but feeling that there aren't many witnesses on answers. I'm so glad to have found some though!! I know what you mean about being sad that ppl are so mean, but they just don't know better. What is however sad is the apostates on here who know better. That's the depressing part to think that ppl can leave Jehovah:( But just be happy that you aren't in that sad situation.   Much love!

I bet it does get old. I don't know why they do that. There is a time to quit. they may not know this.\n\n\nProverbs Ch. 22 vs 23-24-25\n\n23) For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.\n \n24) Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:\n \n25) Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.\n \n\n.
