A common misconception is that Jehovah's Witnesses go from door-to-door because they feel it is their duty to get a householder to "convert". In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses would go from door-to-door even if there were no hope that anyone would change their religion, or even if no one would listen to them!
That is because Jesus Christ specifically assigned the house-to-house ministry to the Christian congregation, with no regard for specific results.
(Luke 10:1,2) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. 2 Then he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
Jehovah's Witnesses are trained to direct attention to the bible, and move on when their message is unwanted. Since each congregation in the United States tries to call at every home in its territory at least twice each year, there is strong motivation for them to move on where little interest is shown. Also, the Scriptures help the Witnesses to expect little interest from most:
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching ...and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

You are right in some respects. There is only one God manifested in 3 different personalities. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. If you bash Christians it could be because you feel you had a bad experience at one time when dealing with your beliefs and disbeliefs.
I will be praying for you that you get your theology correct.

Jibba Jabba You are wrong. Grimkitty You are wrong also. What research have you done? Why don't you reference it?
John 14:6….Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Jesus is God.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

it quite is severe lack of self belief. they want so badly to "be appropriate" that they are moved to reason conflicts, which they then set out "to win" in any respect costs. while they might't win a conflict with beneficial conversations, they hotel to attempting to belittle or insult others in an attempt to shrink their opponent and make themselves experience like the victor. in all fairness I even have seen the suited same habit interior the Pagan community besides....it quite is not in basic terms a christian concern, it quite is a human concern.
