You can also make them never come back by saying ‘convert the car’ then hitting the keyfob and saying ‘see it even talks back’.
Comment on He warned us, but did we listen?
Wogi@lemmy.world 8 months agoFun fact you can permanently scare off Jehovah’s witnesses by offering them a random object and insisting that it’s absolutely not cursed or possessed. Really insist that the thing you pulled out of the junk drawer is absolutely not possessed and is simply a gift that they need to accept.
You will never see them again.

Is this an unethical LPT?
Wogi@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Arguably, yes.
Listen I know they’re annoying, but the people standing at your door aren’t the problem. It’s the cult they’re in.
Telling them there’s a demon in your house is likely to cause them a decent amount of psychological distress. They literally believe in demons, they literally believe those demons want to get in to their home, and they literally believe it will destroy their life, get them kicked out of the cult, and separated from their only support network. Even though you and I know none of those things are true, (well, being disfellowshipped is a real thing) they believe they are and it’s going to fuck with their head.
That said, they won’t stop unless you scare them away, and that’s probably the most harmless way to do it.

I bring them in, offer them tea and tell them what I think of the bullshit. After a few trips they come in for tea and we talk nicely about other things.

You should tell them about how you think your teapot must be cursed… Halfway through tea time.
