Er, the OP is trying to discourage unwanted callers
Ok, would showing them your Blood Donor card get rid of them ?
If anyone has any questions I can try to answer them
Hi Sylvester3,
Questions:
Do the JWs get many converts from the knocking on doors approach?
Whats the reasoning behind knocking on peoples doors - it always seems to be young people who do it, is there a particular age that people do it at?
Are there are many JWs who just pick and choose the bits they are into but leave the rest behind (similiar to catholics who never go to mass but want to get married in a church or have their children christened there)?
Thanks Slyvester3 - thats especially interesting about how many people come in through the door to door approach.
When you 'slipped away' as it were - was there any pressure from the other members to stay or did you have to make any kind of formal declaration that you were no longer into it?
I'm just a little old lost sheep, me!
BecauseHow about being nice and treating them as fellow human beings. l.
An excellent way of deterring unwanted visitors to your door/person is to completely catch them off guard. It is a common psychological method of changing the outcome of a situation. If you are confident enough, when they call at the door, open the door and before they speak start telling them about the difference in height between the walls at your old house and your present house. Go into great detail and once you are finished say thanks and close the door. It is called an information dump. Works every time. If they come back, do the same thing again.
would not bet on itWorks every time.
It can work but you would be foolish to rely on itThis can also work if you are challenged/mugged on the street! Not from personal experience but a friend of mine is a personal security consultant and a qualified psychiatrist and this method is taught by some in the personal protection world.
Where did you get this nice brass coloured notice, was it xpensive? What is it made of? Is it stuck on or screwed. I want something nicer than the stuck on one I have. Thanksunwanted literature we deal with with a nice brass coloured no free newspapers or junk mail notice stuck to our letterbox.
Must be a fairly dangerous organisation if you have move quite far away to leave them. Would not want them at my doorWe slipped away by moving quite far away.
