i dont want to offend anyone. I think your beliefs are much more demanding than those of chrsitians, and at least you do something for what you believe, but i have to say that your insistance is very irritating and sometimes it makes it difficult not to yell at you just to leave me alone...Sorry nothing against your religion, belief or whatever but i think that if someone says no three times, it is clear enough he/she means no and please stop insisting.

You give the impression that we chase you down the street,for goodness sake!
Jehovahs Witnesses have a responsiblity to preach the good news of God's Kingdom to everyone they come in contact with,because it means your lives!And as a result some may be more zealous than others because we are all aware of what is found in
Matt.24:14:"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."
Jehovah's desire is that no one is destroyed but that all come to a accurate knowledge of Bible truths.And as His Witnesses we have dedicated our lives to the doing of His will.
We call time after time because peoples circumstances change.My own personal experience is proof of that as I too turned them away time and time again.I thank Jehovah that He didnt give up on me because I have now been one of His Witnesses for ten years and am very grateful that they came back.
I find it interesting that people say they are not interested even before anything is said to them.You could be pleasantly surprised...

Let me first start with an apology for any who did not respect your wishes. I would also like the opportunity to explain why we bring the Good News to others.
Jesus foretold 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." He also instructed his followers: "Go...and make disciples of people of all nations." Matt. 24:14; 28:19.
When Jesus sent out his early disciples, he directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matt. 10:7, 11-13)
It is our love for Jehovah and for people the we do this preaching work. The message that the Witnesses proclaim involves the lives of people; they want to be careful to miss no one.
(Zeph. 2:2,3).
Please remember that our calls are motivated by love-first for God, also for our neighbor.

if the witnesses are distributing dollars on the street will you run after them? if they fail to give you, even after telling you no 30 times will you leave them alone? life is at stake and they don't want to be blood guilt by not telling you the message, and if you don't have any thing against them why not listen for once.

You don't have to be rude, they are only doing what they were brain washed to do. If they don't do it, they will not be able to enter earth's paradise. So please bear with them. The only thing I really hate, is when they ring my bell and I have to run down stairs, because I live on the second floor and only to realize it is a JW. It takes every nerve in me not to slap them.

Not interested? So why are you trying to initiate a conversation with them with this drama?

Hmmm...once my dad started a conversation with one of them. My dad's a Baptist. And it ended up being a debate session.
