Question

My boyfriend is a Jehovah's Witness and is trying to get me to convert. Today is our one year anniversary and all he has texted me is a "why you should convert" website. I love him but this must stop.

Community Answer

That must be frustrating, especially on your one year anniversary. Try telling him that you aren't interested in converting and that while you respect his religion, you don't appreciate the proselytizing. Explain how it makes you feel and how you find it be affecting your relationship together. If he doesn't respect this, let him know it's a deal breaker for you because you are more than well aware of his faith and that if you choose to convert, it'd be on your own terms in your own time, if at all

Question

How should my parents and I deal with solicitors saying that we will burn in Hell if we don’t believe in God or Jesus? To me, they seem threatening. Do they have a right to be this way?

Community Answer

Yes, they have that right, but they don't have the right to be on your property if you don't want them there. Simply tell them you're not interested in what they have to say and you don't want them to come back. It's very likely that they will respect your wishes.

Question

What can I do if someone traps me in a closed room and forces me into a religious conversion?

Community Answer

It’s very unlikely that would happen. However, if you find yourself in a predicament like that, just demand that they let you leave. If they refuse, tell them you'll charge them with "false imprisonment," which could land them in jail. If all else fails, start screaming for help.

Question

They are trying to convert me to Satanism and have brought me into a dark ritual room. What should I do?

Community Answer

Assuming that is an unpleasant experience for you, avoid those people in the future. If they persist in bothering you, call the police.

Question

I'm not a religious person. I just want to spend weekends enjoying myself. But a few friends keep sending me messages about going to church with them. I just don't want to. What should I do?

Explain to them that you’re not religious. If they don’t stop pestering you, consider blocking them. Friends aren’t friends if they don’t respect your religious preferences.
