If we pester you at your home simply say no thank you im not interested and leave it at that...i was raised a witness and not once have i ever FORCED anything down anyones throat...If it wasnt for us going door to door how many Jehovah's Witnesses do you thing thered be. Let's just say you was an atheist or was never taught about different religions...let's just say you are too far from one the Kingdom Halls to attend a meeting. Now...how would you know about our religion if no one came to your door. Like stated before we dont force nothing down no ones throats. YOU make the choice on whether you want to listen or not. Nothing pisses me off more then for some miseducated person to start making acustaions about Jehovahs Witness. 
Trust me...as aggravated you get by people making accusations about Jehovah’s Witness isn't half as aggravated as you make people by showing up at their house to preach about god. If we want to learn more about your religion we will go to a meeting. Try to spread this message to the rest of the people you go door to door with. Nothing against your religion itself but you guys have somehow turned into the telemarketers of religion and it needs to stop. :angry:

I understand that...but that sign would not apply to JW's...the definition of Solicitation is
solicitation, appeal, collection, ingathering
request for a sum of money; "an appeal to raise money for starving children"

We dont ask for money so hence we are not solicitors...now i bet you if you put a sign up that states No Jehovahs Witnesses then you wouldnt have us coming to your door.
