Probably not the first time this has made it's rounds but this was the first time I've seen this story.

You're viewing a single thread.
You can also chase them off your property by saying you've been excommunicated, and they'll never come back.
No no, what you do is you ask them if they know why the church is making them go door to door. When they say "to spread the word of God" you correct them. "No, they know that going door to door won't get new members of your church because doing so is rude. They want people to get mad at you and treat you poorly so that you run back to your church saying how mean everyone was. That's when they pull YOU in closer. You're being played." It won't save their souls from the cult, but it plants a seed of doubt. And if they go back and tell the church what you said, you'll be put on a list of houses to not return to.
Considering that's not the term they use, it would not be very effective. They would know you're lying.
Since you didn't actually provide a good response, it's called disfellowshipped.
Thank you!!!! I just need to figure out their term in Portuguese now and I'll be golden here in Brazil and when I finally move in with my BFs in the USA

As an organization that's all about missionary work, they predictably very good with having a translation for everything to every language.

Thank you very much!!! That is incredibly helpful!! Now I'm actually excited for the next time they come knocking! Shame I didn't know this last sunday when they passed by my house, but now I know!!
Thx!
It's actually dishonorably dismounted.
Still won't work. It's just not worth trying to remember it, and thus not worth mentioning the term.
It's more nuanced than that. You can't be disfellowshipped unless you were baptized as a JW, which you can tell if someone was or not. That's just not something you can easily lie about. At best you can say you were "disassociated", but that's not worth that either.
You're better off just saying "put me on your do not call list" than trying to come up with a lie like that.
Thank you! My old coworkers were all JW, but I forgot the word and used the protestant equivalent.
Or you were so bad of a practitioner that you didn't even bother to learn what it was called
