stopping jahovas witnesses

[mollykins]

We don't want to be rude to them, but they knock at the most inapropriate times and its starting to annoy us. Is there anything we can put on our door that'll stop them knocking, but won't get us in trouble with my deeply christian nan?

We were thinking of putting on something like a sticker mum got when she donated blood, but would that deter them, or just make them try harder to convert us?

Hiya Molly, maybe a little sign saying 'No salesmen, no hawkers, and no Jehovah's Witnesses'. Failing that, when they knock, tell them you're Jewish.

[mollykins]

why jewish in particular?

[Panic Button]

What about politely but firmly telling them you are not interested, and ask them to stop calling.

[mollykins]

But they won't, they just send different people round. For the past couple months they've knocked most weeks, at least once, usually when we are cooking/ eating tea, or getting dressed to go out.

[Panic Button]

Looks like it will have to be the flame thrower again then.

[mollykins]

its always between 6 and 7pm when they call.

Will a 'i donated blood' sign deter them or make them more persistant?

[Panic Button]

If that is likely to offend your Nan, how about writing a letter to the local JW church,telling them to instruct all their robots not to darken yourdoor.

[naomi24]

Because if you're Jewish, they know they won't convert you, and they'll just go away.

As Naomi said you can buy these stickers to put in corner of your window. Yes they come at the most inconvenient times .You can tell them a mile off .I would not like to tell you what I said to them before I got the sticker but it seems like water off a ducks back they have an answer for everything.

I don't even know where the nearest jw church is. I live in a little village where there's only one church and the nearest town doesn't have jw church as far as i know. But there is a pretty large town about 5 -8 miles, in the other direction, that could possibly have one.

Put a sign up saying REGIONAL BLOOD BANK that should do the trick. lol

[naomi24]

Haaa! Moonraker's solution makes his house sound like Dracula's castle.

Molly, I like your Lisa Simpson avatar. That's just how I imagine you. :o)

[mollykins]

thanks, the beret shows my french side, but i don't think its actually humanly possible to be as clever as her, when you're only eight.

[mollykins]

Also i'm not yellow and my hair isn't the same colour as my skin and spikey.

[Panic Button]

Write a letter to the JW church, and keep it by the door.

Next time the squeeky clean couple knock, ask them to give it to the boss guy, and shut the door.

[naomi24]

Well, that's good news! :o)

[mollykins]

yay, snotty letter time.

[moonraker558]

A large dog with a loud bark in the garden will deter them. simples.

[mollykins]

I have my mollykins, but she wouldn't hurt a fly. Plus the front garden is completely open and the gate to the back garden is nowhere near the front door and you don't have to walk by it to get to the door.
