i used to hide when the door bell rang knwing there was a Jehovah's witness on the other side.
I just didn't want to hear it.

Lately I open the door with no hesitation.

First thing I say is "Hi, I'm a Christian. How can I help you?"

Yesterday, a lady (and her aughter?) knocked at my door and invited me to their annual conference where tons of people get together and remember Jesus and his supper.
I said "You guys do this once a year?"
She said "yes in rememberence."
I said "Why not remember Him everyday?"
She said "Oh we do that too." I knew I caught her off guard so I just smiled.

I can tell that she didn't want to talk to me because I was "testing" her a little on scripture and her thoughts.

Next time I'm going to reach out for my bible and stand with them outside and see if I can save some of those poor souls.
The only reason I say "save" is because I heard JW's don't believe Christ was the Son of God. I dont know if that's true but next time Imma ask just so I can get it straight from their mouths.

do any of you guys hide when they come knockin? Don't lie.

No, I don't hide, I tell them we can dicuss all these things and more in Heaven. I can't share what my husband says to them.....he's a little mean about it. But the truth is the JESUS is the SON of GOD. People are being mislead in so many false religions today. I even got something in my email today.....I will share it here....

I don't run from them. My experience is that most are sincere nice people, I share God's love with them. They share their viewpoint and I share mine, without animosity.

to be honest with you...you're right.

that lady was a nice lady. I was very respectful.
I just have no idea why I even hid.

Actaully she is the second person I open the door to. A few weeks back there was a small group. I don't even give off the slightest cruelty...honestly...i should of opened the doors years ago.
But I do plan on taking out my bible though.
I'll be grieving the Spirit if I do not.


knock knock knock

ha ha.
I'm visualizing the wolf in the little red riding hood story.

We must still reach out to them. Its not fellowshipping in the Biblical sense or unequally yoked with them (you are not married to them)
Preach the gospel in love next time they knock on your door. They are just people that needs to get saved.

Whether we agree with them or not, we must show them love. If we treat them with hate, them whom are we truly serving? satan.................

What's funny is years ago when I was a kid, all of us would be out in the street playing and a group of JW would come down the street. We scattered like flies, we were outta there. It is something that we learned from our parents, because we watched them not welcome them at the front doors of our homes.

I got to thinking about this topic when c-los posted it. It made me think, if I can't welcome another human being into my home because I can't agree with them on their view of the Word, then am I the guilty one? Yes, because where is the love of Christ that is in me when I turn away a person because at that moment we don't agree on the Word. Who is to say that what I have to say to them would change their hearts and I just missed an opportunity and will be held accountable.

The JW that canvas our neighborhood all speak spanish only, and I cannot communicate with them, as I only speak english. I used to say, good a lanaguage barrier, praise God...But I think about that and say to myself, "How is that praising God?" It's not, it self serving my flesh that's all.

2 Tim. 2:20 says: In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble.
[21] If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

We are children of the Most High God, molded for all noble purposes for His glory. If we consider a JW ignoble because of their belief on how they understand the Word, isn't our opportunity to witness to them the TRUTH when they knock on our door so they too can be prepared to do any good work?

One last point here: The JW are out walking the streets for what they believe. When was the last time most of us have taken to the street and went door to door for what we believe?

Good topic c-los....

yeah, Hitler didn't like JWs either.....



I find myself with JWs and Mormons (who by the way need to wear something other than black at night when they are out on their bicycles on roads with not sidewalks... i nearly ran over two of them... unreflective travelers) intentionally trying to get them off their "script".... I find that JWs (in my experience) try to control the conversation with broad generalized questions that you obviously have to say yes to... thus in their mind proving their points..

There is a couple ladies who stop by my home weekly. Instead of them preaching to me, I end up preaching to them. I'm praying they'll see the light soon.

It breaks my heart to see people who are so lost. I can't help but try.

I've found the same things. I had a guy and a gal come by who were very pleasant. The first time I was on my way someplace, and the second time my wife invited them in! I was trying to hide!!!

Anway, we had a good conversation after he asked me the general can't say "no" questions. We agree on lots of stuff. I told him I had some questions for them, and he agreed to come back again. He did, with his wife. I asked him some questions because he agreed that if I had truth he didn't have, he'd hear me out and consider it, just as I agreed to hear him out.

My questions were about the law and if it was good to obey it or if it was dead.

He said he'd consider them, but he never came-back.

Just ask them if they believe they will go to heaven???
