Do you find it annoying, for a Jehovah person knocking at your door, so they can hand you "stuff" about their religion? Has a Jehovah ever stoped you in a parking lot, just to hand you something about their religion? Do you think, they should not be allowed to do this? What is your opinion?

Yes as a Wiccan, I do find this annoying but I offer to listen to them if they will give me the same amount of time to listen about my religion. I find this only fair, if they want my time, in my home.

When I tell them Im a Wiccan they usually leave rather quickly. LOL.

One who has a true love for God and his ways would not have signs posted at his/her home in hopes of keeping those who want to share the scriptures away. He wouldn't become annoyed, but would be glad to have someone to discuss the Bible with, and would always be willing to talk to others about God, whether it is someone coming to their door or at a parking lot. (Psalms 119:97;145:6) That is what Jehovah's Witnesses want.
When they hand you something, all you have to do is say, 'no, thank you, I'd rather we just talk about this subject'. They will be very happy to do that. To them a religion is a system of religious beliefs and they view their beliefs as a way of life, something they do everyday and since they experience benefits from doing this, they seek to tell others about it so they, too, can be happy.

"Should we put a stop to Jehovah's, knocking at peoples doors to spread their religion?"

Only if we stop everyone from knocking on peoples' doors unless they've been invited. To do otherwise would be to discriminate against a group based solely upon their beliefs.

I don't answer my door unless I'm expecting someone, and when someone tries to hand me a flier in which I'm not interested, I simply refuse to accept it.

Sure why not! I just hand them a Satanic Bible or the Baghavad Gita or something that will freak them out and they go away. Tell them you're Islamic or Buddhist or something. It stops them cold. They don't know how to answer. They're used to people being polite and taking their handouts. I just tell them I have one already. When they ask how I liked it I tell them the plot was a bit thin but it might make a good TV show.

I have literature from the Church of Scientology that I got at an art festival, and I give that to anyone who knocks at my door with a Bible in their hand.

Haha... I think it is ok in america... Freedom of religion... Us Mormon people do it... Of course we aren't handing out pictures of 3 headed animals eating people either... I would say if they approach you personally tell them not interested... Can't, in reality, stop it.

Sounds like an opportunity to point out the error in their teachings.

GOD bless

You can.

Put up "No Soliciting" signs. If they bother you then, turn on your sprinkler system.

As for public places, just say NO!
