What do you guys do when door-to-door preachers come by? Normally, I just don’t answer the door unless it’s the UPS guy or someone I’m expecting but today I was expecting a repair guy and got faked out by Jehovah Witnesses. I considered telling them that I’m Catholic and have the fullness of Truth handed down from Jesus Christ, but I didn’t want to sound smug – or worse, as if I was spoiling for a fight. (I’m never spoiling for a fight, and I’m certainly not trying to upset anyone who might be reading this!) Instead, I just said, “God loves you and I’ll pray for you.”
Thoughts?
Well, for a while there I got to know the Mormon missionaries until the older Elder switched out … and then there’s the Jehovah’s witness lady who, when she catches me, I’m nice to. She’s figured out I know the Bible as well as she does and wants me to do bible study with her, but I’ve said no to that, although it’d be interesting to learn first hand what their perspective is…
I usually tell them I’m a Christian, I believe in the Bible and I have a church family. I technically do..they don’t have to know it’s on t.v. If it’s a Jehovah’s Witness I’ll just take their literature and thank them before throwing it away. But I won’t give them any of my information. Usually, I won’t answer the door either. It’s hard though because now they dress as Civilians so you think they could just be a neighbor from another street.
