Soapbox: antidote to Jehovah's Witnesses.

ankev1 · June 2007

This is a general thankyou to all the Soapbox regulars. I've just had a couple of lady Jehovah's Witnesses around. I let them in because the blonde one was a honey and I knew that come what may I would be able to spend half an hour having lewd thoughts about her. Anyway the upshot of it all is that I was able to easily parry their every theological thrust and manage pretty effective counter strokes using ammunition, much of which I have picked up in Soapbox over the past couple of years. I like to think that the two young ladies have now wandered off with their faith a bit more wobbly than when they came in and if that is the case then at least some good came out of the encounter. Thanks again.

ankers old mate - you are now able to move on to stage B of the Jehovah's Witness Prevention Plan. Answer the door naked.

In all seriousness, my grandmother was preyed on by this lot, and they took a goodly amount of cash of her.

It's not often I get the same ones more than once. If they try quoting scripture at me, I will just quote another verse back contradicting them. It's quite fun sometimes.

my sister was cleaning the bedroom when doorbell rang so hung out the bedroom window to inquire who was at the door. conversation went like this:

"Who's there?"

"Jehovah's witness."

"Can you come back later, i'm with a client."

It would have been great if life were occasionally a bit like a porn film and I had got to shag them. Just imagine, you could dine out on that one for years!

Er ... not that I've ever seen a porn film of course but a Welsh lawyer did describe one on here once.

Ravenbait · June 2007

I had them at my door this morning too. I answered half-naked. They seemed shocked. They left a couple of magazines - one of which has a 'thrilling' article about pencils - and buggered off.

Not half as shocked as I was. I'm on their black list. They're not supposed to call on me. Better let JW HQ have my new address [}:)].

Come on Ravenbait, you can't leave it at that. There's got to be a story about how you got on their black list. I think we should be told.

Ravenbait · June 2007

Oh that's easy. I converted one of them. She was a dedicated Witness, from a family of Witnesses, and is now a fully emancipated reflexologist. I'm considered a high risk for converting their followers to something other than Witnessing.

Good work!

(Un)fortunately I haven't got anything at all that I could convert one of them to even if I wanted. I don't suppose that listening to a Rory Gallagher album while drinking a bottle of decent wine has got the legs to become a world religion. I don't even think it's got any rules.

All these JW solutions seem a bit long winded to me. I just say 'no thanks' and shut the door. This is a general purpose answer that works for representatives of energy companies, Mormons and double glazing sellers.

jay_clock · June 2007

I had a sales call on the phone "We are not selling, but if you had œ5000 to spend on your house would you have a conservatory or new windows?"...."Neither, my boyfriend and I are saving up for a bondage dungeon....would you like to come and try it?"

He coughed nervously then hung up!

What did you convert her to? Faithwise I mean - or did you just convince her the JW faith was wrong?

Ankev', you would be better and more enjoyably employed spending your snatched half hours with your East German 'thinking man's crumpet', who, i think you said, understood that the potential of the real world was of greater import than mythering about the next.

Sadly it appears to be reflexology- one set of mumbo-jumbo for another! [V]

Ask them how many JWs are going to heaven. (144,000 apparently). Then ask them their current world membership and an estimate of the total number of JWs there has ever been. Point out that the odds of getting to heaven seem unfavourable compared to other religions and you'd have a better chance of winning the lottery and having a good time in this life.

What is grey and comes in pints?

I just say "Sorry, I can't speak to you, I'm Catholic". JW entourage wander off, saddened by the financial loss. The ring of truth pays off - but old history, past tense. I haven't forgiven the swine for compulsory attendance at church x3 per Sunday. Can't understand Blair wanting to join except the prospect of the Tridentine Mass. You can just ignore the Latin, rather than being irritated by English faux piety.

I must be old fashioned. I've had numerous visits from JWs over the years but I've never felt the need to be rude to them or try and humiliate them, either in person or on an internet forum.

Nor have I. If I have the time to waste then I usually get into a debate until they walk off!
Saying that, they are coming to your door uninivted and trying to ram their point of view across so you sort of have a right to be a bit rude don't you?

when I'm accosted by the Nation of Islam I go all Jewish on them (not difficult). Their reaction, which is one of polite horror, is picture postcard stuff.

I would imagine that "If you can't convert them, outbreed them" is a fairly standard fallback strategy for when "If you can't convert them, kill them" isn't quite the done thing... [}:)]
