Woman in doghouse over Jehovah's Witness sign Fri Jul 28, 10:12 AM ET


LONDON (Reuters) - A British woman has been ordered by police to take down a sign on her garden gate which read "Our dogs are fed on Jehovah's Witnesses."

Janet Grove, who owns a terrier puppy called Rabbit, insisted the sign was a gentle joke to discourage callers at her front door.

Her late husband put the sign up more than 30 years ago when members of the church called at their house on Christmas Day.

But police were forced to act after receiving a complaint.

"We were informed by a member of the public who found the sign to be distressing, offensive and inappropriate," a police spokesman said. "Officers attended the address and the sign was voluntarily taken down."


Thank GOD that'll never happen in Texas.

Its quite pathetic our world has come to this. That somebody can be offended and the sign comes down.

Mine would be up the next day. And I hope I find out who complained.

It's sad that the sign was up for 20 years before anyone complained. But from a legal stand point, the sign is threatening as well as in bad taste.

Bet it works though.

And I just bet no witness was ever eaten.

Probably... I just can't figure out why the story got so much coverage.

my sign is simple

It says "No solicitation." It is just one of those pre-printed, self-stick signs that you can purchase as any home improvement store.

I had high hopes that it would keep away young men who sell candy to earn a trip to Disneyland. I had high hopes that it would deter peddlers of religion. I had high hopes that it would stop the DISH network guy from repeatedly knocking on my door.

When he came back the second time, I asked, from my living room window, what he wanted. He replied that he was from DISH Network. I replied "Yeah, I have a sign on my door that says "No solicitation."

He asked "How do you figure this is solicitation?"

So apparently, he thought that I was not for prostitutes. In fact, I'm not for DISH Network door to door sales.

I don't have a problem with Jehovah's Witnesses. I have a problem with kids coming to my door asking me to pay money for programs to keep them off the streets.

Assholes.

I'm gonna get a sign made that says I'm a people person. They're great sauteed with onions and sausage.

That's really funny.

May I use that on my door?

Such a message would likely keep people away. My ex father-in-law had a door mat that said "Go Away."
