Jesus Door Knockers?

[carocaro]

A whole family, young kids, suited up just knocked at the door with Jesus leaflets.

What I don't understand is why?

Jesus is out there, everyone knows about him, and we all make up our own minds about religion.

Door knocking and leaflets will do little to change anyone's mind. Will it?

I was polite and said 'thanks, but no'

I think the kids should be having more fun in the sunshine than this?

Saying that, my Dad (it was the 70's) was a socialist and loved it when the Tories came a knocking at election time, he'd invite them in and had a good old discussion with them, some were scared, others engaged.

I put a blood donor sticker on the door, tell them I'm a member of the Wicca faith or if my angelic looking child gets to the door before me, he says brightly "Oh no, we don't believe in God" and shuts the door!

The Mormons come around here, a lot. They skulk around the neighbourhood in the their black garb and pasted smily faces and start knocking. Man help you if you are out in the street when they arrive with their WatchTower pamphlets. They are insatiable. They even have a look around your house to find backdoors and tenants doors to knock on. I never open my door, (I have a window door so I can talk through it) and the last time I saw them around my place was when I was getting out of the shower, and through the mirrors you could see me. I pretended not to see them and they quietly and quickly went back up the porch steps and have never come back down here... upstairs to my uncle's, but not down the stairs anymore. lol

chefswife, they're not Mormons the ones with Watch Tower magazines, they're Jehova Witnesses, 100 per cent. Not that it matters much but thought would correct.

Only had JWs knocking on my door, roughly once a year. Very polite, no hassle at all after my 'no, thank you', as opposed to most gas/ electricity people , feel quite harrassed by this lot, here once every two months and don't take no for an answer that easily.

My late father in law was a Mormon ( well, a peculiar mixture of Mormon and Catholic ) and we got invited to a couple of Xmas parties at his church. Great folks, the Mormons.

Mintcandy Really? Honestly, I didn't realize. Thank you. That means there's more than one sect coming round here. I see the Watch Tower pamphlets a lot but have seen others who have told me they are Mormon. I have lots of friends in many denominations of religions, but I really don't like to be recruited on my doorstep. They have followed me even down the road while I'm out for a walk with DD. Sorry, but I find this annoying. I don't find it any less annoying then a salesperson coming to my door with cheap carpet cleaning services either.
