    A little levity... I saw a cartoon of a nude couple answering the door and Jehovah Witnesses running away, and the woman asked, Why didn't we think of this before?' I think it would work quite well.

    Well - I have some experience with many of these folks trying to persuade you of their view of god. My solution is to simply tell them I am gay - which I happen to be. Most of these people turn around and 'run' away from your property as fast as they can if you do ;-).

    If you believe in the Bible; Mathew 24:14 say 'And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. The reason why we go door to door is to show people that the harsh way of life that is current is not all there is. As the end will come and wipe out sickness,death,racism and all other evil. And the reason why we come back is because people do change and want change in thier life but don't know the truth of the matter. For more info: Go to www.watchtower.org

    They do this because, like any business or government, a church needs money to operate and it gets this money from it's members/customers/citizens. Thus, the recruiting/marketing/pro-family-agenda is necessary in order to keep the money coming.

    If you are a follower and a believer in a certain religion, you might feel like it is your job to help others see what you are experiencing. I don't think these guys who go door to door are harmful or annoying, they are just doing what they think God wants them to do. As a Christian, one should spread the word of God and tell of His great works. A person might feel as if it is their duty to mission to others. They aren't trying to bother you, just educate you on what you could be missing.

    Well I take it they believe that horrible things will happen to you if you don't believe or they themselves are messengers from their God. As in if you saw an old woman walking into the street whilst a speeding bus is coming wouldn't you stop her??

    What I have found is succesSful is to assume they are God's messenger. Then ask them to prove it to you. A burning bush or some wine from the sink would be good. If their heads are being consumed by flames that manage to not singe a single hair, they're definitely with God. Pay close attention. Otherwise, thank them for their interest and politely escort them off your property. Or have pamphlets printed out, titled 'Wouldn't it be better if there was no hell?', 'Why Jesus wants you to be an atheist', 'God won't save your soul, but man gave you alcohol to disinfect it', or 'Jesus loves you, but even he likes to sleep late on saturdays.' You can come up with logical arguments and give them a taste of their own medicine, or just have the covers done and assume they'll take the hint.

    Why not knock on doors?? If anyone has really read the bible the theme of it is to preach the word of God's Coming Kingdom. It's like if you knew the cure for multiple sclerosis, wouldn't you share the information if it could save someone's life.
