Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses

I loved the Baptist Minister that came to my door with his 6 year old daughter.

Baptist: 'Do you know where you are going when you die?'

Me: 'Nope'

Baptist: 'If you accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, you would know where you are going when you die'

Baptist turns to his 6 year old daughter and asks: 'Honey, where will you go when you die'

Daughter: 'Heaven'

Baptist: 'Why'

Daughter: 'Because I believe in Jesus Christ'

Baptist Minister then looked at me with a rather smug look on his face. I then asked him if I could ask his daughter a question, he said yes.

Me: 'Do you believe in Santa Claus'

Daughter: 'YES!'

I then saw his smug look disappear and I said 'Have a nice day' as I closed the door.

About four decades ago, a pair of JWs came to my front door. I answered the bell in my Air Force uniform. They started their spiel with, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was world peace?" To which I replied, "In my business? Hell no." They left.

The JWs hold an annual convention here in Ogden, Utah (of all places!) and during that week, the city fairly crawls with them. Two or even three visits to each house are not uncommon. My neighbor and I were building a block retainer wall once, really sweating and filthy, when a primly dressed couple of them asked if they could be of assistance. So I handed each of them a shovel. They left.

A JW convention in a deeply Mormon state is fun to watch. Dueling missionaries. Tracts at ten paces: turn and proselytize.

We've only seen them a few times out in the country. And years apart at that. Simply tell em we are good, and to have a good day.

Haven't had a problem.

Only one time, did one push it a bit with Dad and Dad had a few words out of the book with him and that was it.

I've heard far worse from some folks though.

We've hunted with a Baptist minister for years now in AK that knows we are Lutheran, there isnt a single thing about religion that has ever come up, other than maybe the first year when we brought his kids a brick of 22 or some such, we got a camo covered bible back in our tent one day in return( we were not always in camp at the same times) But never a word.

I suspect that since all people are human, even JWs have a mix of nice folks and some azzholes just like the fire and life.

lol
My 6 yo daughter told me just yesterday, "Did you know, dad, that there is no Santa?"

"You gotta be kidding me!
What's Rudolf the red nose gonna do? file for unemployment?"


She just gave me her cute little scowl she always deploys when no smart assed retort comes to mind.

Jesus said, "As you are going, make disciples, teaching them to observe all I have commanded you."

I gotta hand it to you SH, only you could come up with a reply as perfect as that on the spur of the moment! Well done!

I tell anyone who comes to my home .... if they are UN-invited and UN-expected they are also UN-welcome.

I tell them to give me their address and I'll stop by
sometime. Probably right after the bars shut down.
No takers.

Q: What do you get when you cross a Hell's Angel with a Jehovah's Witness ?

A.) Somebody that comes up to your door and tells YOU to fugg off.

Fine with me. They're more than welcome to observe me and mine from the other side of the property line.

As a Christian I have to respect that the JWs do as Jesus commanded. I often wonder why it is other Christian religions do NOT follow the commandment of Jesus to go and make deciples

I also wonder why it is Christians fought one another in world wars, particular world war 2 where 24 out of 28 nations were Christian nations many of whom were fighting one another while at the same time praying to the same God?

The Civil War likewise has me baffled where as an entire nation of Christians picked up weapons and slaughtered one another.

In the first century when Christianity was extended to every corner of the globe it was the first time ever in history this had been done. A defining mark of Christianity and one of the fruitage of the spirit is UNITY. Are modern day Christians United or have they caused devisions among themselves? There are more than 9000 devisions.

Christians have never before in biblical history fought against and killed one another. There is no biblical reference to this and it appears most modern day evangelists have Reinvented the bible.

One Christian religion stands out in accepting the biblical council to love your brother and have not participated in such activities for more than 100 years.

I answer the door naked w/ a coyote pelt draped over my head.

Whatever happened to the hari krishnas at the airports?


I was thinking bout joining them but they seem as a rare as hens teeth these days?

Lmao


Pix? Uh no thank you. Oh you made me laugh. Thank you

It was the Ruger. Last time they showed up here 2 years ago I answered the door with the 1911 Mexican style and exposed, by the look on their faces you'd a thought my dick was hanging out.

They haven't been back since.

I'm thinking declining membership due to:

That's no life!

Larry, THREE different logins now? FOAD you decrepit old psycho!

The old queer's sending me PMs, too.

Rick,how's your supply of creepy troll spray holding out ?

Oh good, so if you come to my front door and I drive a knife through your lung for being an annoying twat you will turn the other cheek...or do you selectively observe.
