I just love knocking on J.W. doors on Haloween, they don't like it when I knock on their door!

We have a webcam in our window and once someone comes into our driveway/front door- we see them. The UPS/FedEx drivers are Always welcome.

Everyone else-

Not so much. Knock if you want. You may there for awhile!!

Defining it another way.............................Someone who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.One who treats members of a group with intolerance.

Welcome them in...tell them you've been very lonely since "Little Skippy" died and to ease your emotional pain you had to resign yourself to constant self-abuse, but now that they are there you can rely on their emotional and physical support. Then start hugging...crying..kissing...and warning them about your infections. Enjoy!

Russ, This must represent an outbreak of In-grown Bubble Syndrome. Not usually fatal, but results in temporary Life Perception Lesions on the frontal lobe and Tolerance Leakage at the base of the brain.:1rotfl:

LOL I love your sense of humor!

You do not have to fear the witnesses they only wish to offer you information in the Bible; If you kindly say no thank you they will leave. You also can ask them to be put on a do not return list.

Of interest
They are the most honest and moral people I have ever meet. They believe in God and practice Bible teachings 24 hours a day every day not just a few hours on Sunday. I have never been asked for a dime and never pressured to do anything .


There are a lot of misinformation in these posts and I see many are afraid the witnesses are going to brainwash or something like that, This is totaly false. They only hope to offer what"'s in the Bible.

Last time I looked there are over 110,000 congerations worldwide.


Hell fire: information for above post

▪ In the Gospel accounts, Jesus warns his disciples against suffering the judgment of Gehenna. Obviously, Jesus intended that the warning be taken seriously. However, was he referring to a burning hell of everlasting torment?—Matthew 5:22.
First, let us look at the word itself. The Greek word Ge′en·na corresponds to the Hebrew geh Hin·nom′, meaning “valley of Hinnom,” or more fully geh veneh-Hin·nom′, “valley of the sons of Hinnom.” (Joshua 15:8; 2*Kings 23:10) This geographic site, known today as Wadi er-Rababi, is a deep and narrow valley located to the south and southwest of Jerusalem.
In the times of the kings of Judah, from the eighth century B.C.E., this location was used for pagan rites, including the sacrificial burning of children in fire. (2*Chronicles 28:1-3; 33:1-6) The prophet Jeremiah foretold that the same valley would become the place of slaughter for Judeans at the hands of the Babylonians in judgment from God for their wickedness.—Jeremiah 7:30-33; 19:6,*7.
According to the Jewish scholar David Kimhi (c.*1160-c.*1235*C.E.), the valley was later transformed into a garbage dump for the city of Jerusalem. The place served as an incinerator where fires were kept burning to dispose of rubbish. Anything thrown into this dump would be completely destroyed, turned into ashes.
Many Bible translators have taken the liberty of rendering Ge′en·na “hell.” (Matthew 5:22, King James Version) Why? Because they associated the pagan-inspired notion of an afterlife of fiery judgment for the wicked with the physical fire in the valley outside Jerusalem. Jesus, however, never associated Gehenna with torment.
Jesus knew that the very thought of burning people alive is repugnant to his heavenly Father, Jehovah. Referring to the use made of Gehenna in the days of the prophet Jeremiah, God said: “They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.” (Jeremiah 7:31) Moreover, the idea of torment for the dead conflicts with God’s loving personality as well as with the Bible’s clear teaching that the dead are “conscious of nothing at all.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5,*10.
Jesus used the term “Gehenna” to symbolize the utter destruction resulting from God’s adverse judgment. Hence, “Gehenna” has a meaning similar to that of “the lake of fire,” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Both symbolize eternal destruction from which no resurrection is possible.—Luke 12:4,*5; Revelation 20:14,*15.
[Footnote]
Commenting on this prophecy, the New Catholic Encyclopedia says: “In the destruction of Jerusalem so many of its inhabitants would be killed that their corpses would be cast, unburied, into the valley to rot or be burned.”

God does provide for an earthly paridise; not a firery place to be burned forever.

The first words are "Beware" of the Jehovah Witnesses. Wow, almost spilled my coffee.This is Florida Friendliness City.

I am not a fan of the Jehovah Witnesses. I am a Catholic with my own problems and lotsa work to do. But I don't think they do what they do to harass or annoy. Like a lot of folks they are probably sincere in their efforts.

If I see dressed up folks, two or three of them, going to others doors, I just don't answer the door and if I do. I say, thank you, I am not interested.

And...I hope by so doing, Someone will still leave the door open up there when the time comes.

I think you are supposed to be nice.

Russ,

Do you mean the ones that agree with you or the ones that don't?
