"Leave them to it ... one in a hundred might appreciate that knock. My response is 'no thank you' ... the same as for the charity knockers, the 'organic box' lot, the canvassers, the window salespeople etc etc BUT you know what? I dread the day when all those people are not around and we are all sat at home ordering the latest shit from Amazon and waiting for our Tesco drop, plugged into our augmented reality holiday or sexual experiences without interaction with other human beings ... First they came for the religious door knockers , and I did not speak out— Because I was not a religious door knocker appreciator. etc " | |||

"They are usually well dressed ,very polite , seem to have a very calm persona and don’t appear stressed like the rest of us . They probably don’t drink or smoke or swear and they are not prone to violence . They follow the Ten Commandments so don’t steal or cheat on their partners etc. Can anyone argue against my suggestion that the world would be a much better place if more of us were like them ? " There usually polite people who are kind to one another and don't follow any religion. Religion doesn't see define your characteristics as a human. And like I said before, I'm not saying they're bad, I'm just trying to find out why they do it. | |||

"I think it's part of their religion that they have to actively try to "save" the sinners, I don't know the ins and outs of it but a Jehovas Witness once told me that, they're not allowed to be passive worshipers. " I think that's why they're called Jehovah's witnesses, because they have to bear witness to their religion by trying to convert people. I have heard of them being very kind to people. | |||

" My mother is on the surface a wonderful person, polite, teaches Sunday school, gives to her church and community. But she’s actually a really horrible person to her family and friends. So nah, the surface tells nothing. Religion means nothing about the core morality of a person. I don’t steal, I don’t cheat, and swearing makes me f*cking interesting and I meet the best people in smoking areas. Not a drinker but happy corral my d*unk friends or lost d*unk people to safety. . - Mrs | |||

What did you do?why are you blacklisted" I had a very religious up bringing. Quote scripture at me, and I'll quote back another that contradicts it. They don't like being questioned. Just throw more blurb at you, I questioned there interpretations & they couldn't beat me Plus, telling them, IF I was one of them, neither me or one of my sons would be here, so neither would my younger children Asking how they could justify a mother & unborn child dying. Asking how they could live with the death of an innocent baby on their conscience? Was standing by, doing nothing akin to murder? | |||

"I admire them , the last time I came into conversation with such a person was in the street , not at home , a young American lady approached me and started telling me about her beliefs in God , I chatted for a while , she was then wanting me to invite her to my home to continue the conversation and so she could show me some literature . ( this being only after about 2or3 minutes ) I declined saying " no Thankyou" she persisted adding she could come round later that day . At which point I said " Thankyou very much but I am really not interested " and I turned away and left her ... This is the bit where I admire both that lady and others who do the same .. I am guessing that my refusal not to carry on the conversation was probably one of the more polite refusals she had that day , yet they keep on doing it day after day , just by looking at the responses on here you can see that they are not welcome with open arms , but they keep on day after day , their rejection time after time must be demoralising . I am not arguing about what they do or do not believe I am merely saying that they must really believe in what they say to be so demoralised time after time but to keep on going .. And that is why they have my admiration " Jesus H Christ, admiration! They've been told to do it. Do you think anyone in their right mind would continue to do something that they rejected for every single time. Lemmings comes to mind! | |||

"What is their aim? Why do they go from home to home talking about god? Is there a crisis in religious population and they're trying to recruit more people? " Absolutely fabulous people.. don’t get many where I live but great to have a philosophical discussion with about the existence of god. Like listen to them about their religion and what they are trying to sell and then poke holes in their theological thinking. Great fun .. | |||

The reason is because in The Bible it says go out and spread the good news. They believe in The Bible so in their eyes they are simply doing what they believe in. They are never rude and accept a refusal politely, so what harm can they do? | |||

Who started this, you! Where you talking about door to door callers in general, ah no. You cited religious callers. Shall we ban all comedians from ridiculing religion. If any one on fab professes to be a believer then they're Hippocrates and should be lampooned for what they are. So who am I offending exactly. Sexual deviants (I'm one). Your defending no one on here. Your serve. | |||
