They never knock. They just leave a tract on the front porch. I don't think they actually want to talk, they're just checking the boxes. I used to work with a couple of JW, and they never tried to evangelize anybody in the work place.

I usually open the door dressing in a pair of boxer briefs, holding a half lit cigar and a tall glass of whiskey on the rocks. "WTF do you want?" is usually my greeting to them.

I tell them "this better be important because I was fricking my wife and girlfriend when you knocked". They usually leave quickly after that.

They probably wouldn't hear me through the closed door.

Interesting note on this. Last night I found out that my doorbell has stopped working. I asked my two teenage daughters why they hadn't told me (since they're the only ones that have regular visitors) and they said "None of our friends ring the doorbell." "They just text us when they get here and we let them in."

WTF? When did cell phones make doorbells obsolete?

I'm sitting at my desk having coffee last Saturday. I haven't even put on pants yet. I heard a knock at the door. I walked to the door, looked through the 8x12 window on my door, saw they were JWs, made eye contact, shook my head no, and walked away.

Same thing I tell the DirecTV people at Costco.... "I already have DirecTV."

You clearly don't spend enough time on the OT.

Why would the JWs care which satellite television provider you have opted to go with? Seems like a weird way to start a conversation.

Something different every time.
I've grabbed a Torah or a Koran before from my library and tried to talk to them about it.
I got a copy of Dianetics so next time I'll talk to them about Scientology.
Hey they are here to discuss fringe theology, I'm going to discuss fringe theology. I mean no birthday parties? Only 225,000 allowed into heaven?
No thanks.

Grab my Bible, open the door, refuse their literature, explaining that it is apostate, and invite them in to discuss why. They leave, every time.

Unless there is a football game on. Then I don't answer the door.

You forgot the part where they can't accept blood transfusions either.

When asked if I want to become a Jehovah's Witness, I simply tell them that I didn't see the accident.
