why do jehovah witnesses go door to door?

Question

i dont see other religions doing that.

noone who talks about god is allowed in my house lol that would scare me to death

Answer 1

I'd go door to door for atheism,. but I rarely would get anyone who knows anything about science, or who has a willingness to learn for that matter. It doesn't bother me much, just the bigotry towards other's beliefs, from all belief systems, which seems to be getting more common.

Answer 2

The Krishna's have the airports!! (kidding-c'mon)Besides, if they went window to window, they would get in trouble. The Mormons send their missionaries, lots of others just tell friends and they tell their friends and so on, word of mouth to spread the word. Atheists don't believe, so no need to spread the word of God if you don't believe, I guess. If you are "born" into a religion, no matter which one, then that belief is usually meant to be passed on by whatever means deemed necessary. Maybe the "personal" touch means more........

Answer 3

They sometimes call it "testifying" they attempt to bring new members into their church. Where i live they stop about once a month. For the most part they are very friendly. I offered them a beer 3 months ago and have not seen 'em since.

Answer 4

Many persons today, ask that question when they find us at their doors. Some think maybe we are there to interrupt or disturb their personal lives. Is that really so? Many are busy going to work, going to school, enjoying life, struggling with bills and family life. We are often bombarded with the bad news that is advertised on the news and the paper. So how is the Good News supposed to get heard? Are you willing to listen? For it is impossible for God to lie, for he has said he is seperating the sheep from the goats, and we know a sheep will listen where as a goat will not. (Matt. 25:32,33) Just as a the government has provided us a warning system for when some disaster is going to strike...such as a hurricane, tornado, or threat of war attack. We know this is to save lives, and it will only prove to be beneficial for those who will listen and adhear to the warnings. Jehovah God has lovingly sent his son Jesus and his followers in his day, as well as in our day to sound out a warning, for that is why we're at your door. Survival from any kind of storm or war may prove beneficial, but keep in mind it is only temporary. For God has made provisions for all those HEEDING HIS BITTER /SWEET MESSAGE to affords us the prospect of gaining EVERLASTING LIFE. (John 17:3) Which is Good News for the (sheep like ones) who will listen and learn what his requirements are so as to exercise faith in it. Jesus fortold for our day this work: " 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." (Matt 24:14) He also instructed his followers: "Go ...and make disciples of people of all the nations." He also said, "Look I am with you until the conclusion of this system of things. (Matt 28:19,20) Which means he is still with those who are doing that preaching work, that he himself started because the conclusion has not happened yet. When Jesus sent out his early disciples, he directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matt 10:7, 11-13) The apostle Paul said regarding his ministry: "I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house." (Act 20:20,21 also Acts 5:42.) The message that the Jehovah Witnesses proclaim involves the lives of people; we want to be careful to miss no one. This is his lifesaving work! (Zephaniah 2:2,3) The calls we make to your home is motivated by love - first for God, also for our neighbor. We are consistent with the preaching of his message, and we don't force it upon anyone. Persons have the tendency to move to new residence and persons circumstances change. Today, they are too busy to listen, tomorrow they may gladly take out the time. One member of the household may not be interested and then others may be. People themselves change; serious problems in life may stimulate awareness of ones spiritual needs. Persons encounter loss of jobs, divorce, family problems, loss of a loved one, financial problems, sense of emptiness and unhappiness, all these things can make a person search for God and his bible truths. Next time when we're at your door, don't be hesistant to listen. Perhaps even ask for a What does God Require Brochure, or a Bible Teach publication for they both are bible aids to read with your bible. We will gladly sit down and answer any questions you may have. My final question is will you heed his warning?

Answer 5

They go door to door to share the good news of the bible. It's what sets them apart from orther religions. They believe that's their duty to share what they know about God and the bible with all people. They also study the same subject each Sunday all across the world so they are all on the same page, no pun intended. They, in general, are peaceful loving people.

Let them in or just talk to them when they come, you might gain some knowledge.

Answer 6

Some traits consistent to all cults include not only denying that Jesus is God but denying that all sins are forgiven. Therefore, to be really forgiven, one must work. The organization gets a lot of free labor that way, which is why the Watchtower and the Mormon church have many investments. It is, like the Catholic church, profit earned on the backs of the followers.

Answer 7

The witnesses go to and fro homes like yours and mine as the lord aasked all his children..to do....spread the good news ...bring my children home to me..show them my love and that i will never forgett them I will always be there..you do not see other church groups doing this...why...they gave up ...for opions like yours..i have been at other peoples homes and as these good men and women come up ...they play like they are not home..they hide ...WHY..ps..i am not a .j.w..I just belive in god and JESUS ..why do they scare ya...what is your life like ...or the rest of mankinds...

Answer 8

Their religion says to spread the word to as many people as possible. Other religions do this as well. Mormons come to my door all the time.

People are more likely to answer the door than the window.
