Silly Jehovah's Witnesses Betta Get Off My Lawn

So I was watching TMZ with my parents, who have discovered that they save money staying at my house immediately after a vacation as long as the vacation is near holidays. I hear an annoying DING which startles Dad up off the couch.

2 Jehovah's Witnesses holding pamphlets then proceeded to talk for 3 minutes straight about how they wanted to recruit us and all the "benefits" that would occur if we were to do so. After politely declining, they walked away while we breathed a sigh of relief.

My dad then proceeded to respond, "Next time they come here, I'm telling them we're Satanists. Son, you go get a red marker and write 666 on our doorstep, while Imma go get some crosses, turn them upside down, and hang them on the door. That way, no religious chucklefucks can wake me up again."

I missed TMZ ripping on celebrities because 2 religious chucklefucks tried, and failed, to recruit me and my family.

So, SE++, have you had any encounters with annoying religious people that have made you want to be atheist recently?

    I had a few come to my door once, they were nice ladies and identified themselves as Jehova's witnesses and I identified myself as not interested so they moved on.

    Sad thing is, these chucklefucks (nice word...can I steal it?) have even invaded Japan. Luckily, they rarely speak English, so I pull the "Gaijin no speak Japanese" game and they give up quick.

    some people took up three minutes of your time and left when you politely declined their offer

    then you came here to make a bad thread about it

    Jehovas witnesses used to hang out in Forsythe Park when I was in Savannah (probably still there). They are super-friendly but will talk to you for hours and hours if you don't disengage. Sometimes they won't let you walk away without giving you a Watchtower (their newsletter) but you can easily dispose of those with a common, everyday recycling bin or garbage receptacle.

    Silly ass ties and goofy hats doesn't even sound like them. They're pretty strict about stuff like that when they're out and about knockin on doors and such.


    Also, Teefs. I have heard that Islam is the light. Is this true?

    why are some people so mean to these people

    i'm not!

    sure, i find them annoying

    but i find lots of people annoying

    if i went through life berating and trying to offended everyone i found irritating...

    well, quite frankly, that's too much work.

    i find the mormon kids with their backpacks and ties and little nametag that says "Elder Robert" when they're like 17 way more annoying than the Jay-Dubs.

    because those mormon kids will follow you or they won't leave you alone when you are waiting for the bus or something and you basically can't just say "no thank you" and close the door because you're out in public

    and you inevitably have to be rude to them to make them go away

    i don't like being rude to people, as a rule.

    trust me

    have 2 weird-ass chucklefucks talk about religion for 3 minutes

    without doing anything but looking at them

    it feels like 3 years

    i had to shave 5 times in a row just to prevent myself from looking like charles manson because my beard grew in the time it took for them to unsuccessfully try and convert my family

    and we weren't rude

    to their face at least

    once they left we couldn't stop laughing

    True story time, Jehovah witnesses refuse to come to my parent's house.

    Why?

    One day two showed up to the house, my mother greeted them with smiles and the new testament in hand. invited them in, and started into her own spechial about why they should convert to the roman catholic faith.

    After half an hour they polite declined and left. in 13 years, not one has come here since and we see them come by, they skip right past this here house.

    one time a guy came to my door selling like delivered frozen steaks or something? I told him I wasn't interested and my parents probably weren't either and then in the tone that you would expect him to use for saying "okay thank you for your time have a nice day" he told me to "finger that asshole, take it deep"

    I didn't even realize what he said until I was back inside but just out of habit I'd told him "thanks, you too"

    I guess that wasn't about religious people. oh well

    "No thank you."

    And then you close the door and walk away.

    You don't have to listen to a 3 minute spiel.

    Pussies.

    How many of you would like to learn the 5 pillars of Islam

    I would be interested in the 72 virgins I've heard so much about. Could I exchange some of them for a couple experienced women? I'd trade them 2 for 1 if I had to.

    The Jehovah's Witnesses that come around my place are two women, who drive a Dodge Charger. I give them a little more respect because of their car.

    seriously though

    door-to-door jehovah's witnesses are about as annoying as door-to-door salesmen (since, essentially, that's what they are)

    which is to say, pretty annoying

    i just don't get why people make such an elaborate thing about trying to offend or scare them

    show some fucking backbone, say "No thanks" and shut the god damn door.

    A guy once followed me into my neighborhood and asked if I wanted to buy some steaks as I pulled up to my house.

    I said no and walked into my house.

    haha, there have been so many times where i'll just give the routine response to things thinking about what people normally say without realizing what someone actually said.

    In fact. The next time some Jehovahs Witnesses come to your door, tell them that you don't want them to return. Say it calmly but forcefully, emphasize that you're serious and not just brushing them off. Guess what? They won't come back.

    Tadah.

    MY grandpa was an ordained Baptist minister(he's dead now). One time the Jehovah's Witnesses came by he invited them in and debated theology with them for like 4 hours.

    They haven't come back since.

    Door to door salesmen also stopped coming out here. It might not be for this reason, but my dad would always invite them in to show off their vacuum and such, try to get them to do most of the floor and then say he's not interested.

    The more likely reason is that it became impractical to drive out this far to try to sell us crap.
