Does it make you mad when jehovah witness stop you on the street ...............

No it does not make me mad if they ask me politely if I want their publication. I have read a few of them. What will make me angry is if they will not let me in piece if i say I am not interested. I do find that they have improved during the years. they are not as agressive anymore. Just this weekend I had two ring my doorbel. When I said that I did not want to discuss with them today thay smiled and said have a nice day, then left.

I would not say mad, but a little aggitated would do. I just think that if I wanted to believe the way they do I already would. I don't think reading the things they hand out is going to change the way I believe. I will read the stuff sometimes, but I think it is rather rude of them going around pushing their religion on others.

..doesn't bother me whoever does this.. I smile and say thank you.. I've read some Jehovah Witness 'stuff' and tho I disagree with some of their conclusions, I think they are right on when it comes to some other things.. I find this to be true of most groups, faiths and philosophies.. What offends me is the teaching of the modern philosophy in the schools as though their idea is proven, when you can easily investigate it and find it has in no way been proven, in fact there's more evidence and natural law disproving it than coming close to proving it.. ah well.. we did enter the twilight zone some time back... _ I don't however approve of any sort of hard sell of any faith.. and don't think it's necessary at all...

Actually, the Jehovah's Witnesses aren't usually the ones who get to me. In my experience, it's been Apostolic Lutherans where I live now, or Baptists or Methodists where I grew up, who stood around handing things out, holding up signs, and harassing people. I don't typically read tracts unless they strike me as possibly funny in some way. There's one company that makes these really horrific cartoon ones that I always catch myself reading because it's like watching a train wreck... the amount of misinformation and just plain lack of humanity in them is shocking. The more tame ones, however, that just talk about the Bible and things like that, don't really tell me anything I don't already know. I guess that's the biggest annoyance for me with these things: the very assumption that I don't know about that religion. I know about it already, and I choose not to follow it. End of story.

I don't have them stopping me on the street, but this one lady comes to my door at least twice a month and hands me her pamphlet and gives me a sermon. I kindly stand there in misery because I am Baptist. It is not that she is of a different religion but I consider it soliciting. She comes while I am eating lunch also. The last time she came, she gave me a new pamphlet with colored pictures in it and she asked me for a donation. She has to drive from house to house because we live in the country. I wander who pays for her gas as high as it is and I wander who is paying for these pamphlets she is trying to get me to donate for?
