Damn, after many months of dodging them...?
Jehovah's Witnesses, they knocked on the door. I thought it was a parcel I was expecting so I ran downstairs opened up the door and it was them!! ='(
They told me about how my life is not planned. I felt bad saying Im not interested and took the booklet.
Am I doomed?
Will they always come back now?
Aha, some very good ideas. I'll be sure to take some notes.

I don't see why people are afraid of JW's. I quite like them knocking on my door LOL. The only thing I don't like is that they seem in too much of a hurry to give me a scripture and leave - I'd like to talk with them and find out what they really believe.
EDIT: Ok Chris will do
I'm a Christian and one day I thought I'd try knocking on doors to share the good news with people too, but after having three doors slammed in my face I decided there are probably more effective ways I can reach people with the love of God LOL)

I think this is worse than your experience atleast J.W. knock the door.

You can get them to stop, for at least a year anyway. When they come just politely say you've received their literature but your not interested and would like to be taken off their visit list. They have rules that if you do this they can't or aren't supposed to visit again for I think its a year. You can also call their Kingdom Hall and ask to be put on the don't visit list. I think it works. I've heard if they do come again you can complain to the Kingdom Hall and they will actually be censured in some way. You can also just tell them you really don't want anymore visits and will make a harassment complaint if they keep coming but I'd try the visit list thing first myself.

Next time just invite them in to sacrifice a goat with you. That should keep them away.

iam sorry that people are so freaked about us visiting, if your not interested thats is all you have to say. we respect that people have different faiths and if they don't want to talk to us then we are not going to get offended...all we do is draw peoples attention to the bible as it seems to be forgotten today and it provides so much for us.
What people seemed to think about JWs is that we are some kind of mindless robots that force religion down peoples throats! We are not like that at all we wake up on a Saturday morning and there are plenty of things we would rather do then get up and knock on doors but we do it as it is a command in the bible and we want to do what Jehovah asks of us as we want to please him. Sometimes we meet people who want to listen to us and plenty that don't but its your chose we are not going to fight you on it! and if you do want to accept some literature from us then most probably we will come back just so see what you thought of them, that is your chance to say yes i would like to read some more or no thank you i'd prefer if you didn't come again!

Just be polite but say you're not interested. Whilst they can be nuisance, they do believe that they are trying to save your life.
As a previous poster put, if you ask to be added to their "do not visit" list, then you should be left unaffected for a year or so.
Obviously there's a chance you may get a call again, but I've never had any problems.
