		<description>I have always had good conversations with people. Some people on here are rude, but not all. There is an atheist studying the bible with Jehovah&#039;s witnesses now. He said he tried to fight it but lost. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Mark, I too is one of Jehovah&#039;s Witnesses. Some find it very offensive because they do not know what God&#039;s will is and why Jesus said what he did at Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all nations......When Jesus and his disciples went out to preach, Jesus commission and commanded that they preach to any and everyone that they come across whether it was in cities, towns, marketplaces, in the public square, in the fields or wherever you could find them. We do the same accept there are broader avenues of where we preach and to whom to preach too. Matthew 24:14 says to preach to all the inhabited earth...
We are not out to convert no one. Just trying to show people the truths about what the Bible truly teaching about God&#039;s kingdom and how his kingdom will wipe away what is promised at Revelation 21: 4. 
Most of the time people don&#039;t know what we truly stand for. All they see  is the fact that we go door to door knocking on them. One day they will know our purpose.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Bible the source of Authority</description>

		<description>I really don&#039;t mind those who come to my door. They are always polite and friendly. I am the same. I&#039;m quite sure of my faith (Catholic) and I tell them so, and this usually ends the conversation and off they go. Always nice though, no one has ever said anything out of line or been rude.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Well, first of all, if you are neither invited nor announced, you can bet you are also unwelcome.  In other words, you have no business at my door.

Secondly, many people know that the only reason you are proselytizing is because you think this will gain you more points in your competition to get to Heaven.  You don&#039;t care specifically about the person, just your bloody point-mongering, and that is a real turn-off.

Finally, when you come to MY house and ask MY religious affiliation or whether I read the Bible, remember this:  you are on MY property, taking up MY time.  You choose to bother people in your spare time and that is your business.  What I choose to do in my spare time is MY business.

So the bottom line is this:  if I tell you to get lost and you don&#039;t move along quickly, you will also be trespassing and I will not hesitate to call the cops.  You would do well to write my response in your records, so that you don&#039;t make the mistake of bothering me again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>forget all that. ask yourself why you had to get religion in order to talk
to people. as far as possible be on good terms with all people.

going door to door is not homework. how much talking do you do like this day to day? jesus life was his job. walk like jesus, talk like jesus, think like jesus, live like jesus.

jehovahs witnesses are not god, they are men and women.  do not make the mistake of thinking that they have all the answers, that they are always right, or that they know what you should be doing with your life.

be careful of who you choose for masters.  my only master is god, and jesus.  they dont tell me what to do, they only ask, and wait for me to decide. you cannot serve god and man. you can serve man thru god, or god thru man, but many men will not thank you for bringing god to their door.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>why would you want to go door too door,when if God calls someone,they will go looking,it is not because you went knocking on someones door and they actually bought into what your jahovas witness false watch tower doctrine that converted them,you act as if your god by going door to door,when God say&#039;s He is the one that does the calling.You go door to door cause that is what your church requires of you to do,so you will get into heaven,rather than placing your faith in the work of what  Yeshua did on the cross,you stumble over it,rather than accept it.
Your trying to be that 144,000 thinking thier to be jahovas witnesses,are there now more than a million of you,so now you will change your doctrine again to fit what you believe.READ THIS...

Does God command Christians to go from door to door preaching the gospel? 

Based on a quick reading and misinterpretation of Acts 20:20, many believe that the apostle Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom from house to house, to those who were unconverted. But when the entire paragraph is read, starting in verse 17, the proper meaning can be understood.

Paul “sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the Church,” saying to them, “I…have taught you publicly, and from house to house.” He taught the Church leaders in their own homes. Paul did not go from house to house, teaching whomever answered his knock at the door.

At his own hired house in Rome, Paul “received all that came in unto him, preaching the kingdom of God,” which Christ had commanded him to preach (Acts 28:30-31). Christ had personally taught the gospel to Paul (I Cor. 15:8; Gal. 1:11-2:2). One of Christ’s teachings was that we are not to force our beliefs on anyone (Matt. 7:6). This makes clear that Paul did not try to convert people by preaching from house to house. His public teachings were carried out mainly in the Jewish synagogues.

Acts 2:46 is another widely misunderstood verse: “And they [the twelve apostles and other disciples], continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness.” It is important to note that these individuals were unified. They continued daily with “one accord.” They all believed the same things. This scripture is describing people who ate together, just as someone might invite friends and close acquaintances to his home for a meal and fellowship. These verses make no mention of Church members going out of their way to preach the gospel to strangers.

In this particular circumstance, many from different nations had gathered at Jerusalem to keep Pentecost, one of God’s annual feasts. Since they had traveled a great distance and had no home in Jerusalem, the Jerusalem brethren invited them to their homes to eat. (The King James Version of the Bible uses the term “breaking bread” to signify eating a meal.) Converted Christians were eating in the homes of other converted Christians—they were not preaching in the homes of unconverted individuals or families.

In Luke 10:5-7, we find direct instruction from Christ not to preach from house to house: “And into whatsoever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.” Christians should never be out trying to force anyone to accept the truth of the Bible. Christ showed that God’s Word is too valuable and precious for us to flaunt carelessly (Matt. 7:6). We are instructed to “let your light so shine before men” (Matt. 5:16). A light does not make noise. Therefore, Christians are to teach by their examples.

Conversely, we might ask, “Should we invite into our homes ministers or others who are going from house to house teaching doctrines contrary to the Bible?” God’s instruction on this matter is found in II John, verses 10-11: “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 

Christ’s example, and that of the apostles, is that Christians neither preach from house to house nor invite into their homes anyone approaching them soliciting a false gospel or any other man-made religion.

		<description>Hello, I&#039;ve pretty much found that tring to tell anyone on here why we go door to door is futile because most eveyone on here is hardheaded and unwilling to listen as well as the fact that most of them have predetremined prejudices about us. Something that people need to remember is that we&#039;re regular people just like everyone, just because we choose to IMITATE jesus and be active in our ministry doesn&#039;t mean we;re freaks, we go out and do other stuff like eveyone else...I go shopping, go to the movies, the gym, out to eat with my husband and friends, I go to concerts and fashions shows even, I do almost everything other people do I just choose to have morals that i adhere to.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>People don&#039;t actually know why they have these crazy thoughts about Jehovah&#039;s Witnesses.

I believe it to be a kind of grape vine thing.... one person says they shove the Bible your throat and everyone in their line of contacts thinks we shove the bible down their throat. Its a bit like chinese whisperss... All these false beliefs.

I am not surprised though.......... Satan is misleading the entire inhabited earth, we know this because the Bible tells us the way it is. Satan wants people to think bad of us.

I love going door to door. It is so satisfying to know that i am doing the work of our creator. 

Jehovah looks after all those who seek him&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Most people are courteous enough to say their not interested, unless you keep returning to the same home every week.  Not that many people are obnoxious enough to tell a ministering Christian to take their religion and shove it.  I personally hate solicitors and any form of telemarketing.

Usually, I just need to hang up an LGBT Flag on my porch to keep all homophobic religious fanatics away.

The LGBT Flag and marriage equality propaganda is like kryptonite to Christians, so feel free to show your support of the LGBT community and you will soon see a great decline in those annoying Christian solicitors.

Amen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
