It is called "disfellowshipping" and is one of the creepier aspects of JWs.

My mom was a staunch Catholic. She called the local Kingdom Hall and had her name "stricken from the rolls".  Panic One of my ex-neighbors claims he was having a nooner with some gal when the jovies knocked on his door. He yanked the door open while naked and asked, "What do you want!?" with a raging erection. They never came back.

If anyone has heard of the Ranting Gryphon, go to this link and click on the audio called "Religion". Pretty much expresses how I feel about door to door sales pitches.

I think I have posted this here before, but I had a pair of JW's arrive at the door with their daughter aged about 12, I asked them about their ideas about blood transfusion, then asked what they would do if a drunk driver hit the kid and left her bleeding to death in the gutter. Would they give her a transfusion and save her life or would they let their own daughter bleed to death when a transfusion could save her. The look on the girls face was priceless, cruel, but maybe it woke her up to the reality of her situation. They left with me shouting "Child murdering bastards" at their backs

Any place that tries to force you to break all contact from people who leave, or are disfellowshipped may as well not be entered at all. Not that I can say it's a nonbiblical practice, since it happens in the first story in the book involving Humans, but it's still very wrong.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Three showed up one morning - two older guys and a cute young girl.....

I answered the door in my shorts... They started the schpiel - I stopped them and said - "She can come in. You two go sit in the car".....


That got rid of 'em......

We have the JW and LDS peeps here but don't get many of them. What we get more often are the non-denominational fundy freakshow start up churches (cults?). And they come in packs of 4 or more and hit both sides of the street at once. I bring the dogs to the door with me.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
