I actually agree with this, and this is why I treat them with respect, for the most part. Sometimes it just gets old, or I am busy, or it's dinnertime, etc. I try to be as polite as possible. Because really, what is 5 minutes out of your day to be nice to someone just to say no thanks.
They do understand that...they have lives as well
and the time they spend on witnessing is not compensated...

I am aware of that. The time I spend witnessing is not compensated either, it's already been paid for. I want to say more, but probably not a good idea.

That's why you are one of my favorite people on the planet Deb.

I'm ALWAYS polite to them.... i just tell them, thank you, but i'm not interested and i dont believe, and i never will. They are usually VERY very nice and respectful about it.
I could never be rude to them. They arent hurting anyone or anything.... theres NO reason to be rude to them and threaten to call the cops and stuff like that. As long as they respect your wishes and dont keep preaching... which i have NOT really had that problem before at all! They are always very respectful..
Actually, when my grandmother was living here, they used to come and just chat with her.... and they did NOT preach to her(she was catholic)... just talked to her and spent time with her. She loved it, and looked forward to seeing them.
Really nice folks.
I also dont get why people are so bitter towards them...

That's too bad....my DD is 12 and had a dog released on her too...she still tries to smile,apologize for any inconvenience and keeps trying
I love her for that! A LOT of people unleash the dogs...
"....you will be hated just as I was hated..."..."you will be tortured just as I was tortured..." They don't like it...but they expect it.

Yep I agree with this. For a while, there was group of JW's that came to the door often, and the kids used to take them in the garage and give them a soda and I would hear MASSIVE laughter. I walked out there, and they were just a bunch of kids having a good time talking. I am only annoyed with door knocker if they disturb something. I had one couple knock one night when a hatch first started. I told them NOT NOW!!! My chicks are hatching. I wound up with 2 JW's in my kitchen oooing and awing and cackling back and forth about chicks. Even irritated as I was at them for knocking, we wound up having fun and they saw something they had never seen. No religion involved. Good times are about accepting someone as they are.

The amount of people showing viciousness towards anything Godly is steadily increasing...I am sure they had a good time
