If you saw a sticker that read this and was available to take and place on your door/window, would you?

"Please, NO Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons. thank you"

No.

Mark 12:31

No.

Matt. 12:31

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

What does that have to do with discouraging cultists from coming to your door?

After I voted I thought of something; the man that used to come and give me rehab was a JW! We agreed not to discuss religion during our sessions, and I told him he's welcome to come to my church.

My father in law is a JW from birth.

I studied with the JWs and Mormons before becoming a Christian 14 years ago.

In the case of the JWs it is truly a brainwashing and then a control issue of the fear of going to hell if you leave or cross them, and no more love from their people, no more fellowship, you are entirely cut off. This is particularly difficult for them to bear because they are usually people who are already lonely and sick and need serious help when the JWs come to their door. Then they receive all this attention and love and more of both. Then it slowly turns into a controlling thing. My mother in law would get calls and visits from them when he was out of town, to make sure she didn't cheat on him or leave him. They would hang up on her and then call all hours of the night. She insists that it is also the JWs publishong house that keeps them in business, and the 10% mandatory you must give to be in good standing. They must buy the literature that is published by watchtower and then give most of it away, usually asking for donations. I used to donate and buy the books from the JWs that came to my door.

JWs can be converted, but it takes love, time and patience. I don't always have those, and fell VERY strongly about my faith and the doctrines which I believe in from scripture.

The Mormons are not allowed to ccome back to my home because they are not reaching their intended purpose.

The JWs stopped coming a while ago.

No way! When they come a-knocking, I love the opportunity--after all, they have come to MY door! They don't know what they are in for! The gospel of Jesus Christ! I usually tell them they need to bring their lunch when they come to my house!

[Giaour]

When they knock on my door, my son yells from the other room. "Hurry up mom, it's time to sacrifice the goat".

They make a hasty retreat.

I know BAD Bad Bad of us.

My fault...I meant Mark 12:31.

I had been looking at Matt. just before that...again my bad...sorry.

[Guest man]

Just out of curiosity Marnie, why did you quote Matt. 12:31?

Peace

CJ

That was my fault....it was suppose to be Mark..not Matt.

I fixed it.

I didn't, "man" did, and he meant to quote Mark 12:31--

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Which, in my mind, has nothing to do with turning away a cultist missionary. Now, if a JW or Mormon came to my door, starving or hurt or something, that's different. Compassion knows no label, however, as I said in an earlier post, they dont stand a chance of converting me, nor I them, so why waste eachother's time?

[Guest man]

Throwing up a sign that states no JWs or Mormons does nothing but cast a shadow on the Word. To those who do not believe, there is no difference between JWs, Mormons, and us. The only message that you're getting out is that we are more hateful than the JWs and Mormons.

Think about it...Our God is suppose to be a God of love...by showing our hatred to other denominations who also preach Christ...who do you think the nonbeliever is going to listen too?

[Tribulation]

While I don't generally recommend opening up to JW's, there are times when God might be calling us to witness to them and we lose the opportunity.

I agree.

Mark 2:16-17 - "And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
