"Jesus told his disciples that when they entered a house and were welcomed, they should “stay in that house, eating and drinking the things they [would] provide.” But if they entered a city and were not well received, they should “go out into its broad ways and say, ‘Even the dust that got stuck to our feet from your city we wipe off against you.’” (Luke 10:7, 10, 11)
Wiping or shaking the dust off one’s feet would signify that the disciples were peacefully leaving the unreceptive house or city to the consequences that would eventually come from God. But those who received Jesus’ disciples with kindness put themselves in line for blessings. Jesus told his apostles on another occasion: “He that receives you receives me also, and he that receives me receives him also that sent me forth. And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I tell you truly, he will by no means lose his reward.”—Matthew 10:40, 42.

Just informing all here that it is time I listen to the words of Jesus. He strongly suggest his followers recongnize when they are not welcome in anothers house or forums and should move on. If anyone here would like to PM me with any honest questions about the Bible and the JW's view on them, please do so. But if it is to ridicule and degrade Jehovah and his organization please do not waist your time or mine as I will simply ignor them.
Peace to all......
