Jehova's do force their religion, going round doors is forcing your religion.
As with almost every religion, the nutters that go round doors have no idea abouut even their own religion and cannot be questioned.
Although totally incorrect, creationists should have arguments against evolution, that sound quite good, if you don't know how it works.
If they can't even answer questions on the subject they are a waste of oxygen.

nice people or no karlos, it's rude to come to people's private property, interupt whatever they was doing to talk about something that 95% of people don't want to talk about or believe in. why don't they just hold the meetings or gatherings? they don't have to be so 'pushy' about converting others. Not trying to sound nasty, just my opinion.
Not really. They are following their faith. They are not cold callers.
I get far more pissed off and put on the spot with some form of pikey trying to sell me new windows or facisas as they won't take no for an answer.
Maybe if you understood some religions a bit more, u'd have a more intelligent statement.
And no, im not religious at all, never have been and doubt I ever will be. Religion is interesting due to its power over people though, and the vast variety of religions and its impact on the world means it is an interesting subject.
Is it your private property, or your parents?
And I dont' believe the porno story said earlier by someone. I've heard that story SO many times... I wonder how many times is actually been done though????
Sorry, i'm not being ignorant or unintelligent. I don't have anything against them and I'm not slagging them off or "be-littleing them". I don't think it's appropriate to knock on people's doors. It is my property, I moved out when I was 18. I'm now 20. I don't understand any religion, it all sounds nonsense and if others want to believe it, that's totally up to them and I won't judge them for it at all but I am an athiest and believe in evolution that can be proven by fact...not something that cannot be proven by fact....and is the cause of MANY, MANY wars in world history.
In my opinion, any religious people, don't take offence, you have your beliefs, I have mine. I think that religious people are just scared of death or...the fact that we're alone on this big planet and there's not a higher being that will take us into an afterlife or something. It'd be a really nice thing if it was true, but seeing as most religions are "believe in us, repent your sins all the time for us, praise the lord all the time" sort of thing...if it isn't real, they're gonna be pretty bummed when they die and get eaten by worms
Also I don't tell any door knockers to fuck off unless they are unpleasant. Religious callers, I will tell them kindly that I'm sorry, but not interested. I changed my electric to E-on from british gas at my last address though due to a door sales person. So I don't tell them to piss off, I think you were too quick to judge me, VXR. I'm a kind person, I just don't like pushy people that try to force things upon you. That's how it is in my opinion, just maybe my way of thinking? Idk. Idc. I'm athiest

My Auntie and her family are Jehova's and they are fucking arseholes. They mooch EVERYTHING off of any other member of our family. The thing is they don't celebrate Christmas, but will still receive gifts  BAWBAGS. And there is a Jehova building at my mates house, and they pack out the streets every Tuesday and Thursday so I can't park anywhere. I'm one long walk to his house away from petrol bombing the fucker.

i know a load of them. Very polite people. However, cant help but think they dont believe in evoloution because they missed out on the last step
also they do force it on alot of people, and asking a child if they want to be baptised is like asking a child if they want to have sex. Its a question they cannot answer as they have no understanding of the implications in an informed and prejudice free way.
Religeon is for the weak, if they find comfort in it fair play to them. But forcing it on others is right out.
You will never meet a Jehova who wasnt born and told to believe it by their controlling inhumane parents that doesnt have some kind of story behind them. They are all post breakdown, wife died, alcoholic reformed, kids had cancer, beaten by wife/husband, ex junkie etc
as mentioned if they want to beleive it, its their life and thats their business. Forcing it and annoying other people is bang out of order. Bt every religeon does it just in different ways.
Just say dinosoars, thanks and close the door

Root, thats fair enough dude, I just obviously read it in a different context to how its written
People say forcing, well, depends on your thoughts on forcing. Knocking on the door and babbling on isn't forcing. IF you closed the door, then they kept ringing and ringing etc is forcing. Knocking once and trying to persaude is not forcing IMO.
John-D, nice to see you have such high regard and respect for your partner....
