heres one for ya?

Jehova's witness' why is it this religon condones the practice to go from door to door pushing their religon and beleifes onto others. i havent had a faith since my teens but i do respect ones faith and beleifs when i ask these people to leave they constantly try to keep me at the door i even had one guy go as far as to put his foot in the door keeping me from shutting it. that is when get got a fist in the mouth. some of you might condem me for doing so but hey i beleive when you ask someone to leave they should leave no questions asked.

Update:

i was out with my family once a few years back and was approched by one in the parking lot of walmart, told the guy i was an athiest which isnt true but he still wanted to talk to me.

Update 2:

sunpekes if you truly think im a liar then shoot me a message with an email address and we can talk about it and then after you hear from me and my wife then maybe you will realize im not a liar.

Update 3:

sunpekes if you truly think im a liar then shoot me a message with an email address and we can talk about it and then after you hear from me and my wife then maybe you will realize im not a liar. i can give you the names and the contact information for the people that were at my door because it just happened last week.

    that is sooo annoying! people shouldn't push thier beliefs on anyone. everyone should be free to believe what they want. why is everyone so worried if we are going to hell?? how do they know we are goin to hell?? i think earth is hell and where we go next is heaven!I don't knock theres a God but.the bible, people take tooo literal! king james was a tyrant and translationg the bible was the only good thing he did. I take the bible as a history book not a strict code. I think you should just do what's right, which is self explanatory, and be good to others. Don't freak out about what you don't know...no one's ever went to hell and came back to tell about it--right?

    If in fact this person put his foot in the door, it was rude and indefensible. Therefore, I will not try to defend it. It is not necessary for you to strike another human being to drive home your point. If you wish the witnesses to leave you alone, have them note down your address and tell them you do not wish to be called on at all. They will mark your address as a "do not call" and when they are in your territory again, they will skip your house. If they call on you anyway, it is by mistake. Remind them of the do not call.

    I agree. I think they look at it as they are trying to save you, from what i'm not sure but either way it is a little creepy. We could always start our own religon and do the opposite, try to make people feel comfortable and not show up at their door. Then once they do not see us as a threat we will impose OUR WILL ON THEM HA HA HA!!! Or just eat cookies and watch ghostbusters. MMMM!!!

    Almost anyone who knows us will spot your story as a lie.

    There are no Witnesses that practice that sort of treatment. It simply isn't practical.

    We are teachers looking for Jesus sheep.

    BUT! There are those who make up stories!

    If you don't want the visits, all we need is a

    No Solicitors sign where we can see it. You will not be bothered again.

    We are commanded by Jesus to go from door to door. Read your bible.

    I've only had a JW show up at my door once. I just took their stuff and tossed it right away. They left without a fight. I didn't even ask them to leave. They actually never said who they were, but once I saw their material I knew.

    i dont disagree with you but you should have called the police to have them to be told to stay away from you,

    you never know what such a pushy person may do,

    like pull a gun or knife, i dont like having thier religion pushed on me either,i have my own religion and i do not push it on others and i want the same respect,,

    part of their faith includes going into the community to spread the word. many of us are like u and dont like it. many jehovahs would rather not do this.

    I agree. They should try and spread their beliefs, but not to that extent.

    Though I don't agree with you slogging him!
