Jehovah's Witness.
Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses are both self-described Christians. The religions resemble each other in very superficial ways, but their theologies are markedly different.
As individuals, many Witnesses note that adherents of Mormonism have a reputation for neighborliness and godly love which is too uncommon among self-described Christians.
(John 13:34-35) I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”
It is also true that Mormonism has managed to recognize a few of the obvious bible truths that continue to evade most of Christendom, such as recognizing that Jesus the Son is a distinct person from God the Father.
(Mark 13:32) Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father.
(John 20:17) Jesus said to her: “...For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’”
Also, it is interesting that only Jehovah's Witness and Mormonism have any real program of lay-ministry in which every adherent is encouraged to preach.
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded
Jehovah's Witnesses work to spread the Good News about the Kingdom of God, and so that is the focus of their message; they do not work at targeting any specific religion. Of course, "Mormonism" is not a single religion, but the so-called 'Latter-day Saints' tolerance of holiday celebrations, warfare, and nationalism are among the beliefs which Jehovah's Witnesses feel are incompatible with true worship.
It seems best to allow Mormons themselves to describe the uniqueness of their beliefs regarding various post-biblical holy writings, modern-day literal prophesy, the correlation between the physical and spirit realms, and the various levels of grandeur in heaven.

Both!
I welcome Mormon Missionaries always at out home. I offer them water when they are thirsty, or a warm place to sit and wait out any cold weather.
As for the Jehovah's Witness.. I NEVER disrespect them or turn them away. I kindly tell them I have found a faith that I am happy with and offer them a Book of Mormon.

Mormons. They are more respectful and seem to see the person who has answered the door, rather than just ranting.

Either or, well honestly probably a Witness as I am one and so it is probably someone I know, and it is always fun to talk with friends. But aside from that tis all the same. If someone politely knocks on my door wanting to talk with me, it is then my choice to say whether or not I want to talk with them.

I don't like people coming to my door unless I know them.....they have a habit of coming to doors at early morning hours..."On Saturdays" my day off and unless I have something planned for me to get up early....I don't appreciate people ringing my bell or knocking on door at 7am.....and I don't like the fact that because I come to the door I have to hear about why I don't go to church and why I am a heathen.....I take my chances and agree with TwoCrow....reminds me of another video I saw about a priest cursing some kids cause they were skateboarding on the grounds near the church.....the man was racist (towards a Chinese kid) and his language was worst than people I know........Yeah those holier than thou folks are just something else!

Mormons , thank you. They're more polite, usually they take rejection better than the jehovas. Frankly I find Mormonism a more " christian" church than that of Jehova Witnesses. Most JW are rude people.
