Strange thing!
11 Answers
Hi all, first time in this area!
Just had a couple of girls around my age (20ish) knock on the door and ask me to read 6 statements from the bible in a book called 'What does the bible really teach'.
They asked me to chose which one i would most like to see in the world today.
They said they would leave the book with me, and come back another evening to see if i had any questions after reading through it??
Im just abit lost by what they were doing as i have never experienced this before.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Depending on your own beliefs will probably determine how or if you wish to either;
1.Tell them, Thanks but no thanks and send them on their merry way.
2.Invite them in for biccys and tea and a lengthy chat.(Don't give them your best biccys though) or they'll never leave.
3.Use a more direct approach which could involve profanity and then shutting the door in their face.(Not usually a good idea as it can spoil your karma afterward but may feel good on the spur of the moment if they wont go away.
4.Scrap the last idea all together and do whatever makes you feel happy.

It doesn't make you sound really bad that you don't know what a Jehovah's Witness is, but it sounds like a bit of a crafty ploy on their part to send a "couple of lovely girls" knocking on doors, wiggal. I hope for your sake that when they do come back, you'll disagree with what they say, give them their book back - and shut the door behind them.
And wizard - I believe you.

Perhaps you could ask them whether it's really true that if an accusation of child abuse is made against a JW, the church elder's would require more than one witness to have seen the alleged abuse before doing anything about it, based on an interpretation of Deuteronomy 19:15: 15 One witness is not enough to convict a man accused of any crime or offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses." (NIV).
Lucky non-Church authorities are quite so cataclysmically stupid.
