Missionaries On the Run

Beware: A group of Christian missionaries are currently roaming around Crown Heights streets, ringing doorbells of homes with Mezuzas and handing out pamphlets and DVDs. Residents are already avoiding them. Photos

about 3 times amonth we get them all dressed in tznius clothing knocking on our doors

How about taking it and turning it into a great opportunity?
June 14, 2011 8:58 pm

Have some pamphlets and things about Judaism at home. Have them on hand so if the missionaries come, you can turn it into a good opportunity in case they happen to be Jewish.

Dont take pamphlets because the way missionaries work are if they see people are taking pamphlets they send more missionaries!

Why do you have so little confidence in your own Yiddishkeit?
June 13, 2011 12:26 pm

Really, these people are annoying but they are no threat to anybody.

Pretend to want to help and throw the stuff in the garbage.
June 13, 2011 2:00 am

They are paid by Jew haters. Smile at them,and pretend you want to help them and toss and burn.

They came to my house in Boro Park on Shavuos. I told him that it was a holiday, so I wouldn’t take his liturature. then I added” If you don’t know it’s a holiday, and you’re doing this today, I don’t want your packet. And neither do my neighbors.”

Poor marketing
June 12, 2011 2:45 pm

They definitely have not done their research about crown heights residence. An Israeli flag on their packaging is not necessarily so convincing for crown heights residence.

pass out
June 12, 2011 1:37 pm

the 7 laws of noach cards,to set them straight,most people take them with a “blessings” and if people ask l tell them we are expecting the redemption i.may it be imm.they just don’t know.r.karvazt who wrote the book you take j,l’ll take g-d.they also want the redemption,they just need to be set straight,sarit hassah has them in 770 and also the moshiach center,downstairs,they change there times when they are there,so you gotta find out

Miami
June 12, 2011 10:21 am

They’ve been doing the same thing in Miami.

they were here before shavuos
June 12, 2011 9:26 am

in miami

In SF , I pretended to be really enthusiastic about it, and asked if I could help
June 12, 2011 8:01 am

pass them around, and then I got the police . I told the police that they were inciting a riot, and that they must remove them for their own safety, before they get hurt. It is like yelling fire in a movie theater , and they are not allowed to do it according to the Constitution.It is like the Nazis would not be allowed to march there without a permit. It is for the safety and well being of the residents. Talk to the police, this is their job. Talk to a lawyer.

yes, it's annoying...
June 12, 2011 1:30 am

These missionaries think they are doing a mitzvah in their realm of religion. What I do is politely tell them (if they knock at my door) that I see how much this means to them, but that I have a strong faith and am NOT in need of anything more. Period. The end. Good bye and please don’t come back here. Have a nice day. They don’t mess with you if you have a conviction and MEAN it. It’s the wishy washy ones that we need to worry about.

Avoid?
June 12, 2011 12:00 am

Get in their way and give them a gezunte Mashkante!
That’s the only way to get reed of them

June 11, 2011 11:29 pm

to me these look like young inexperienced kids who need some money so they are doing it for thier boss. I am sure they know almost nothing but afew key phrases and most great Rabbis can put them out in minutes! They dont seem the type to have to much knowledge, even th0ugh they may be brainwashes.

we got the dvd

June 10, 2011 6:31 pm

It’s always amazing how insecure people are in Yiddishkeit that they flip out whever a couple missionaries come to town.

June 10, 2011 6:27 pm

June 10, 2011 4:37 pm

dont be naive a good dvd for a 13 /16 year old can do lots of damage all u need is alittle sfekus ספק = כפירה

Take them
June 10, 2011 4:24 pm

Take as many pamphlets and dvds as possible..and then toss them. Better in our bins then in some else’s hands

They are still roaming the streets @4:15pm
June 10, 2011 4:14 pm

Keep your eyes peeled and if you see them give them a piece of your mind. don’t be scared!

June 10, 2011 4:01 pm

threw it out right away

I hope they'll come to my house
June 10, 2011 3:57 pm

I’ll throw my chulent over them. Aren’t they trespassing if we don’t want them on our property?

Not worried...
June 10, 2011 3:54 pm

Why “Beware”? I’d rather they were here than in a place where they could really do damage…

SOO scary!

Chutzpeh
June 10, 2011 3:36 pm

One of these goyim had the chutzpeh to compare their belief in yeshke (YS’V) to our views of the Rebbe

tefilin
June 10, 2011 3:21 pm

some of them are Jewish, so it’s good to put on them tefilin
