Yes. Its really funny when them and the other bible thumpers come knocking at my door. I ask them why are they selling their religion door to door. They reply "they are just spreading the word of (their idea of a) god". I reply with "Yeah and the church too?" They say "Well yes". I then reply with "Well then, you are selling your church and your religion because you are trying to get others to come and give money to that church right? So, your selling it. Your selling and isn't that a SIN?"
I then ask them nicely not to return to my home because I am a Wiccan and choose not to sell my idea of how I shall live. I will live in peace, not as you are allowing me to do so as you intruded upon me ... Now please leave me be, and I gently close the door.
Its funny seeing their jaw drop as I put them in their place! Yeah Maybe a little harsh ... but they disturbed my peace first darn it!

No.
(Matthew 5:14-16) You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when situated upon a mountain. People light a lamp and set it, not under the measuring basket, but upon the lampstand, and it shines upon all those in the house. Likewise let your light shine before men, that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens.

No I don't. I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Oddly enough there are those on here who make claims that they have accessed our "secret documents" like the Watchtower, you know, the thing we hand out freely.
In many instances it is what is attempted to be kept secret which more people flock to.

If they kept it to themselves how would the Scripture be fulfilled that says:
"How comely are the feet of those who declare the good news of good things...in fact, "into all the earth their sound went out, and to the extremities of the inhabited earth their utterances."" -Romans 10:15, 18
and also
"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." -Matthew 24:14

Good one! But then it would have been harder for me to leave and get away from them. It they were a secret society, I'd probably be a whole lot more screwed up.

At 8:30 on Saturday Morning, while sporting a wicked hangover and trying to figure out where my pants are, I wish they were very secret.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
THE WORLDWIDE CHRISTIAN SOCIETY OF PEOPLE WHO ACTIVELY BEAR WITNESS REGARDING JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS PURPOSES AFFECTING MANKIND. THEY BASE THEIR BELIEFS SOLELY ON THE BIBLE.
WHY ARE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES PERSECUTED AND SPOKEN AGAINST?
Jesus said: "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world , on this account the world hates you." (John 15: 18,19)
The Bible shows that the whole world lies under Satan's control; he is the principal instigator of the persecution.
1John 5:19 "We know we originate with God (Jehovah), but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."

Sorry. Jesus said our light should shine.
There's no stopping the fulfillment of prophecy- the entire inhabited earth WILL be given a witness.
