Alright, I'm sure some of you already know about my problem with the local JW's, but for those of you that don't, I'll fill you in.

About a few months ago, a couple of JW's dropped by wanting to come in and start preaching to me. I told them, and I quote: "No thanks, I'm an athiest." They seemed like a nice couple. They went on their way without another word. (they didn't seem to take offense to it) However, since that happened they've been showing up every other week trying to 'save' me. :rolleyes: After a month, I decided to have a little fun with them so everytime they dropped by, I would act like a complete lunatic. One time I acted like the "typical southener" and invited them into the backyard (bloody butcherknife in hand...and no, it wasn't real blood) to field-dress a stray cat. I swear, I've never seen two people run so fast in my life. :D About a month later, I saw the same two pull up so I answered the door naked as a jaybird. :P That time, they did call the police and claimed that I exposed myself to them. (The front door isn't visible to the road so I'm well within my right to do it according to US laws) The officer thought it was funny as hell, and just got back in his car and drove off. That only pissed them off, so then they started coming every week. I put a stop to that for a while by greeting them with my dad's 20-guage shotgun in their faces. :P (un-loaded of course, but they didn't know that) That stopped them for about a month and a half. The other day, they started showing up again trying to 'save' me.

Anyone have any ideas to fuck with their minds? Image

Now if only they would come at night....

I'd mount a black light just above the doorframe and put a few drops of UV reflective dye in my eyes. :mrgreen: They'd probably freak out for a second. :P

Tell them that they're right, and that you are saved, and collapse on the ground and submit to a fit of "convulsions from Jesus." Continue it for as long as it takes them to call an ambulance, and then when the paramedics show up, calmly stand up and walk back into the house and close the door behind you.

Have a couple of friends with you, one male and one female. Answer the door, then have the female come up and start rubbing up against you and you her. After she's been there for a while, have the male come up and join in.

Have you tried answering the door holding a the centerfold of Hustler and madly masturbating?

Or having sex with your gf while answering the door?

Try lining up a strobe light to shine in their faces when you answer the door.

Real simple. As soon as you open the door begin handing them pamphlets about the Great Lord Cthulhu and asking them to give you money. Once they bug out keeping following them and trying to hand them pamphlets; follow them as long as necessary.

OK, on a more practical note, try contacting the police to find out whether it would be effective to put a sign on your door saying:

No Jehovah's Witnesses
Violators will be Charged with Trespassing


If you could actually charge them, this could potentially be quite effective.

Answer the door with a bottle of scotch in one hand and a knife or blunt instrument in the other. Be sure to wear a very disheveled white t-shirt or dago-t, and wear no pants. I'd say that you should probably wear a plain pair of boxers or briefs. If you can manage a six-o'clock shadow, so much the better. Chewing on a lit cigar or cigarette would really enhance the image. When they give you their pitch, act very surly. Don't be overtly threatening, but make sure they know you're not in the mood.

In the middle of their pitch, start thinking about sex. Try very hard to get a decent erection. When it begins showing through your boxers or briefs (boxers would work better, especially if it pokes through), eye the woman of the couple, smile and say, "You're awful purty. Wanna ... come inside?"

Another tactic I just remembered: offer to speak with them about their religious beliefs ... AT THEIR HOMES.

In other words, they must give you their home phone numbers and addresses. Point out that it's no more of an invasion of privacy than what they're doing to you, and ask for permission to drop by their houses any time without warning.

Aw, fuck it. Next time they come over, just beat the crap out of them. Knock them unconscious and put a knife in their hand, that way it will look like self defense.

Hand them a card that says:

I have no idea how effective it would be on people as oblivious as persistent JW, but if you're good at keeping a straight face one tactic is to just stare at whichever one that isn't talking to you at the moment, and keep an unnatural smile on your face. If you can pull it off right, you'll creep people right out with that.

If you want to go for the "creep them out" angle, just grab your camera and start snapping pictures of them. Don't say a word; just take pictures. Walk around them and take pictures from all angles. And then say "thank you" and close the door. At this point, walk over to the front window and stand inside it, staring at them until they leave.

When they get to the end of your street, get in your car and drive along the road slowly, following them. Keep the radio on so you don't get too bored, and maybe bring a magazine or two. If they come up to your car, just put it in "park" and read your magazine and pretend not to notice them. When they finally go away, start following them again.

I would defy any JW not to get creeped out by this.
