I normally never open the door for people I don't know and aren't wearing a delivery uniform. But they spotted me through the window as they were walking up. They knew I was home. Two women holding black books.
Dammit.
The baby's crying because the stucco guys won't stop banging on the wall outside, and I look like I just rolled out of bed. I open the door and the bad dogs run out and jump on them, mostly the little 3 year old girl that was with them.
Dammit.
"Maybe they just want to tell me about Jesus, in that case I can say 'I already know Him,' and I'll smile and they'll leave."
"Hi were just in the neighborhood today. Maybe you've seen these publications?"
She holds up a copy of The Watchtower.
*woo woo woo woo* alarm! alarm!
Jehovah Witnesses!
"Oh no. No thanks."
And I close the door in their face.
Then I feel guilty. Jesus wants me to have a dicussion with them and explain why their faith doesn't compute. I should to tell people the truth and not avoid it. But I failed the test. And that poor little girl that Mojito jumped all over, is going to grow up with lies, no birthday parties and no halloween candy.
Guilt!
Happy 18th Birthday, Alayna!

don't feel too bad. once i took one of their pamphlets just because i'm nice...and they stalked me for like a year...until my nutty former neighbor told them they were treaspassing and if they came back she'd call the cops! i guess she was good for something.
I applaud your blog, former JW member speaks out.
The core dogma of the Watchtower organization is that Jesus had his second coming 'invisibly' in the year 1914.Their entire doctrinal superstructure is built on this falsehood.
Jehovah's Witnesses door to door recruitment is by their own admission an ineffective tactic. They have lost membership in all countries with major internet access because their false doctrines and harmful practices are exposed on the modern information superhighway.
There is good and valid reasons why there is such an outrage against the Watchtower for misleading millions of followers.Many have invested everything in the 'imminent' apocalyptic promises of the Jehovah's Witnesses and have died broken and beaten.

Don't feel so rotten, my dad behaved much more poorly to the JW's that came by our house when I was in 5th grade. A boy I had a crush on and his mother came strolling up our driveway. My dad saw the black books, pulled out his rifle and aimed and said,"Get off my property right now or I'll shoot."
Sorry gotta agree with you J-Dubs are totally wacky. I worked with a guy who was one of them, he was telling me how women are not allowed to teach in church...so "they found a way around this". He said that they get two women on stage and they just talk to eachother about Jesus while everyone else listens.
I guess they figure they can just trick God or something.
haha you shut the door in their face. I can totally see you doing that...like, I have a visual...haha.
I can remember my dad telling a couple of them that he was a devil worshiper just to see the looks on their faces. *shakes head* My Daddy's a little cukoo in la cabesa.
i had a dream that i did this! you're an inspiration!!!
I have told Mormon's and JW's the following (I was home alone a LOT when I was growing up):
I'm a satanist, and the demons said you're our friend, please come in (they left)
I just got done doing a Bible Code on my computer and your name came up right after Adolf Hitler.
I'd love to talk to you, but I'm skinning a goat right now. Can I have you come back in a few hours?
And my favorite Mormon shutdown:
"Answer this question and you can come inside: If the priestly nation had left Jerusalem in a magical boat and crashlanded in South America, where were the people that could write and any trace of written language (sans mayan numerical order) when the europeans got there?" <- I've yet to have a lucid answer to this question...
OH DON'T GET ME STARTED THEY HAVE CUPPED THE EARS OF CHILDREN WITH THEM AND SPED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WITH DUST FLYING...BEST YET THEY ARE SO STUPID THAT ONE TIME I SAID "WELL I'M JEHOVAHS WITNESS , I'M JUST NOT PART OF YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE GUY SAYS " OH I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD OTHERS...WELL NOW ALL I DO IS SAY NO TO THE PAMPLETS AND SAY " JESUS SAID WHEN YOU DRINK OF MY WATER , YOU WILL NEVER THIRST AGAIN" SO I'M NOT THIRSTY FOR YOUR BLASPHEMOUS FALSE DOCTORINE. I WILL NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY AND YOUR FALSE TEACHINGS! IF YOU WANT TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR THEN I WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT AND INVITE YOU TO know HIM IF NOT YOU MAY NOT SPEAK TO ME AT ALL. WHEN I TOLD ONE THAT I WAS THE REV. SISTER CELTIC BLAH BLAH BLAH THE YOUNG WOMAN SLAPPED THIS GOOFY PHONEY GRIN ON HER FACE, I SAID "WHY ARE YOU FAKING THAT FAKE GRIN ON YOUR FACE I SAW THE LOOK OF SHOCK ON YOUR FACE, NOW YOU COVER IT UP WITH THAT GRIN...UGH.. I HAVE A MILLION OF EM ...
