Back in early 90's we live not too far from one of the JW halls in the city. They would be out ringing bells every Sunday and only way to ward yourself from them is to put up a No Solicitor, Jehovah Witness sign on door.

Now they only come knocking on my door every few month. I figure myself lucky if 4 months go by and they don't come around the neighborhood.

1. Invite inside for meal, and eat.
2 Listen intently to everything they say.
3. Ask them if your current religious practice that involves eating human flesh with every meal can be carried over.
4. ???
5.Profit.

I haven't have a JW caller since... the 90's. I didn't even know they actually still did that as opposed to it just being a holdover joke.

I used to get them about once a month. I put up a "No soliciting" sign, which they ignored. I put up a "No Jehovahs's Witnesses" sign, which cut their visits down to about twice a year. The last two visits were by the same individual. The first time he came, I told him, quite rudely to not come back.

When he did, and I realized it was the same guy, I went out the back door, got the garden hose and hosed him down. Haven't seen him since.

Win.

We have some JW around here. I see them biking around sometimes. A few months ago it was my street's turn to be invaded. I just stayed upstairs in my bedroom until they left.

They were probably frightened off by your almost fanatical devotion to the pope.

It could be Mormons, but I've not seen a Mormon church around here. There *is* a JW... church? Center? Whatever they call 'em.

A very long driveway and keeps all but the most persistant God salesman away from our place.

Either that or its the extremely fluffy but very loud dog that stops them wasting my time.

Last time we had them, I explained that I had been Discordian after I recovered from my cradle Catholicism, then I discovered Pastafarianism for a while, but these days I'm just plain old agnostic, and me and God are finally on good terms now, and I'd rather not risk ruining that relationship by trying yet another experimental religion.

They left.

I'm not sure I'd rate the Chicago suburban area as "excessively rural" but maybe they're scared off by strip malls.

In the 14 years I've lived here, I've had one JW show up at my door. And it was just a month ago. A young black man walked up to my door and handed me an invite to a "festival" of some sort. He didn't do anything other than say there will be a gathering, and I should come, and walked off. I didn't know he was JW until I read the flyer after he walked off.

I actually don't mind their visits, mostly because I often have fun with them.

One time I yelled to my brother, with them in the doorway: "Ahmed, hide the components! We have guests! Come on in, salaam alejkum. Don't mind all the wires, we are working on a... project."

Another time I was having a shower when they knocked and I had only just put my trousers on. Normally I wouldn't open like that but I recognized one of them. "Have you found god?", I replied:"No! Come help me find him".

For next time I am planning on using faux german accent and mentioning Klaus Barbie in every other sentence. Or just going for german gay guy: "Do you verk out? You look very fit, yes indeed. I love vat you have done with ze suit, is this maple syrup braun?"

Huh. I thought JW didn't celebrate anything, even religious stuff. I was misinformed, it seems.

Well, I know they don't celebrate the *pagan* holidays, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.

We used to have a JW lady that came around here, mainly to talk to my mother. Once my mother made it clear she wasn't going to renounce her holidays, she stopped coming by as much. She still drops off literature every now and again.
