FYI the knock on the door nobody wants is law enforcement knocking on the door to tell you your kid is dead, not a brief annoyance from jehovahs witnesses.

My very smart, immensely stubborn daughter took some courses through her church group on how to debate them. Two of them made the mistake of knocking on our door one day. I was like "I'm not gonna answer that". Daughter came joyfully bouncing down the stairs and ran to the door before they could escape.

Three hours later, both of them looked haggard and exhausted, but the daughter was just getting really spooled up.

They sent back some more experienced dudes to talk to her. She intellectually wore them out too. They've never come back.

You know nothing about this knock. The 4 am knock you remember for the rest of your life. The one you never shake.



Yep, 1986 for me, 2 AM, middle of midterms. My Dad.......

the problem is that they dont operate off the same Bible. they act like they do, and it's pretty close, but when it comes down to it, you cant argue scripture with someone without at least arguing about the same scripture.

John 1:1 is probably the most obvious case in point here.

Well there's no such thing as a women's only service with JW's. My mom was a JW her entire life.

No JW church in it's history has ever had someone other than a JW give a talk at their services. So no Joe Blow of tigerdroppings is not the one guy in their 100+ years of going door to door that gets asked to talk at their service.

So yea, you're lying.

How hard is it to say,” I’m not interested?”

JW has the same stance as MAGA on social issues. Except they’re more likely to get a balanced budget through Congress.

Had two tree guys show up this week as Bertha was passing through. 1st guy didn’t even get out of his truck but sent his kid to my door. Douche wearing blinged jeans with unbuttoned shirt showing off the gold chain but wanting to get all snippy with me when I called him on his BS.

because there’s no chance they lied to me? Why would I make it up?

no I’m not - I teach & give talks at my own church pretty much - when I said this to the JW ladies at the door - one offered for me to give a talk at a women’s only service

Sorry you don’t believe it - but that doesn’t mean I’m lying

It’s not like I said a Catholic priest called up someone from the crowd to do the Consecration. JW churches run how they want - it’s obvious by the way they swear off government help but all have Medicaid.

Better question is what point would they have in lying about something that doesn't exist/ "Hey could you come give a talk at our womans only service? Oh by the way, we don't have a womans only service."

Well you're certainly embelishing because you literally made up something that doesn't exist.

Yea just further proving the point since you're misinformed about this as well. They don't swear off government you goof

I’ve had the knock nobody wants.

You should’ve posted that in the first world problems thread.
