I'm ashamed to say, I cringe. Years ago, some came to my house and tried to give me some pamphlets. I politely told them that I was a Catholic and really did not have the time to visit with them. They left. When I was about to leave my house, I found a pamphlet on my windshield with the title "10 things wrong with being Catholic". I respect their faith, they should respect mine.

They most certainly do. They are very pushy. I had a similar experience and they were surrounding me at a bus terminal and wouldn't let me pass.Like (1)

NO. If one comes to my door with the "no soliciting" sign they will be met by a large naked man drinking a beer.

I'm not anti-them. There is one person who is one that I have especially established a connection with, she gives me books to read on her religion. She is infact enormously friendly. I have nothing against them, quite the opposite.Like (1)

I know a woman who is one, she is the nicest, most sincere person. And most of all, she actually has some interesting things to say.

I back away. I respect other peoples views and opinions but I do not appreciate being force fed views I don't necessarily agree with.

Look really enthusiastic, wide eyed and smiling, then say something lengthy in Gaelic and if they respond with nothing more than a distant idiot-like smile. Wave at them, happily and walk away.

If I'm home, I answer the door in the nude. That has historically been very effective to truncate the exchange. On the street, I'd probably move swiftly in a direction away from the JWs.

I engage them, either at my door or on the street. I have found that they are polite, well-meaning and, in most cases, open to discussion.
