I had Polish Jobos show up at the flat once to talk to 'the polish lady' (my mrs).
How did they know she was polish and lived here???
Told them she was out and they gave me two leaflets... One in Polish and one in English.
Still creeps me out just how targeted they were. How did they know???
A swift Kurwa and slamming the door would have got the message across nie?How did they know she was polish and lived here???

Best way to get rid of them is to say you used to be one and rejected it.
They're not allowed to talk to ex-JWs (they have rules around shunning ex-members) so should see them off pretty sharpish and prevent repeat occurances.
That's a great tip right there. They're not allowed to talk to ex-JWs (they have rules around shunning ex-members) so should see them off pretty sharpish and prevent repeat occurances.
(Assuming they don't mark your house for an arson attack later.)Actually, aren't JW those f
kers who meet in Twickenham and caused me to be late for a meeting not so long ago? I think I'll take them to task next time they knock on my door.Really used to annoy me, as unlike rugby etc, there was never any prior warning to allow you to take a different route/ leave earlier, you found out when you got stuck in the traffic!
Ages ago I had a couple of JW ladies knock the door. One was in her late 50's and looked a little like Mrs Doubtfire (even dress sense, smart but very old World). The other was an utterly stunning red head with amazing green eyes. Just jaw dropping.
In fact it was the stunner that stopped me just closing the door straight away so clearly a well though out plan.
Turned out they were both very nice, extremely polite and didn't get flustered when I started questioning Adam and Eve in relation to what we understand though science etc. In fact it was actually quite an enjoyable chat (yeah, the red head helped
) and a couple of times the older one even said "that is actually an interesting view" (obviously translated to 'I have no clue what you just said' ) they eventually admitted that I was not for converting but thanked me very much for not being rude to them and promised to not disturb me again. I wished them well, told them my next door neighbours were Muslim (they still owe me one for that!) and off they went.
I still see them every now and again in the street near where I live and they always say hello or wave.
Sometimes I guess it's worth spending a little time with special people, saves further hassle in the long run.
Ps. And good grief the redhead really was a total stunner!!!

just call the local hall (?) and ask to be added to the "do not call" list. They should respect it...
Thanks for the tip. Now if only there were something similar I could do for door-to-door sales folk, couriers wanting to leave a parcel for across the road, gentlemen with just enough tarmac left to do my drive....

They keep catching me out by having some attractive woman who always stands in front and presses the doorbell.
I've never had a door knocking incidence* however whenever I've seen them they always have fit birds. They must be doing something right. Not only that they're often dressed in a conservative "girl next door" manner, which makes it all the ruder. In fact how come nobody has done a pr0n website about them?- some came through the gates once and I was out waxing my car. "Oh, we can all see what you worship" said their leader, and they turned and left. I was almost offended.
We have JWs in the family - Mum's cousin or something - I remember being 14 and having to stay with them for a night. They started all the Mumbo Jumbo and Christmas came up.
My exact words.
"What do you mean no Christmas!? Seriously? fk that!". I went for a smoke (which seemed to piss them off even more being underage) and refused to talk to them again until I was collected the next morning.

What about the characters that stick a 'betterware' catalogue or similar through the letter box? They get upset when they come and ask for it back a few days later only to be told that it's in the bin 
"Can I have my catalogue please"
"You didn't leave one here"
"Yes I did"
"No you didn't "
<he's now getting red in the face>
"Yes I did"
"Nope"
<now he's properly stroppy >
"Yes I did, here, on my list it shows I put in through this door"
<Shows me a spreadsheet of addresses with ticks against house numbers>
"Okay, you do know that your in the wrong road?"
Betterware man stomps off red in the face. f
king idiot. Still, at least he hasn't been back.

They do indeed meet at Twickenham. Until recently, I used to drive past Twickenham on my way to work and whenever this event was on, there would be utter gridlock on a weekday morning as hordes of them descended.
Really used to annoy me, as unlike rugby etc, there was never any prior warning to allow you to take a different route/ leave earlier, you found out when you got stuck in the traffic!
I think you're mistaken. Really used to annoy me, as unlike rugby etc, there was never any prior warning to allow you to take a different route/ leave earlier, you found out when you got stuck in the traffic!
They don't meet on a weekday morning. It's their UK convention and happens at the weekend. This year was an International convention, it's always well publicised and causes no gridlock at all due to the incredible organisation, prior planning and co operation of all delegates.

You think they get upset when you tell them you've binned it? Try telling them they're not getting it back until they pay a storage fee, they get proper stroppy then

Good people can be religious. The problem is when they want to impress their views on others. That is rank. Those type assume arrogantly that strangers need saving.
Part of being a JW is 'Pioneering'. Whether or not they actually convert you doesn't matter, they have no choice but knock doors. They are always quite nice about it though.My sisters are dubs, we were raised as them but me and my brother had a bit more brains about us.
You are right about the hotness of the women. There are some absolute stunners paired up with the biggest wker blokes you could ever meet. The ratio of women to men is skewed in mens favour. So if you are a cunning bullstter and want a hot wife its the way to go, you do have to give up everything remotely adult though thats the kicker. oh and be happy with sacrificing every morsel of intelligence you may have gained.
Utterly mindbendingly ridiculousness in the face of known facts is their MO.

I've been to a JW wedding. That was a eye opener I can tell you.
The girls were mostly stunners (but very conservative as you'd expect). Everyone had their own bibles and it was very cultish in words and action (everyone was brother and sister) The bride was a long time friend of my wife and she had rang MrsB to say 'tonights the night' which confused the mrs until we realised it was the no sex before marriage thing (this girl was in her 30's and not unattractive). They were all over friendly.
The ceremony itself was more of a lecture to the bride on duties, I think most women would have told the priest (elder?) to do one and not be spoken to like that. It was very old fashioned/misogynistic.
Still, it makes it easy to get rid of them the wife just tells them she been friends for 40 years and they have still not converted her so don't bother.

Always polite:
After an intro..
Me: Before you carry on, is there anything I could say to change your mind.
Them: No.
Me: There you go then, nothing you can say will change mind.
Worked the last 4 - 5 times without any issues..
However once on a bad day.. I was wrong.. but fk it.
They arrive dragging young kids in tow, who are obviously board.
Me: Why don't you do something else, like take your kids to the park and play with them instead of making them walk around all day.
Them: Please don't tell us how to look after our children.
Me: But you just knocked on my door, to attempt to tell me how to live my life?
Them: God.. blah blah..
