I dunno. I find that as a woman, it’s all well and good to be independent and confident and perfectly capable of handling things yourself…but Steve Harvey actually had a great chapter in his book about how some women can take it too far, and then it becomes  the guy thinking"well, what do you actually need me for anyway?" and off she’s packed into the friend zone.

You may not NEED a man, but it never hurts to let them know you’d appreciate having one around. 

My original post still stands- your tone hasn’t changed, so neither has my opinion. Since the Community Manager took it off, I merely further articulated WHY I felt the way I do- I didn’t expect that you would forget what I said, nor do I want you to. Just so we’re clear.

 With that said, what you seem to miss is not that people are using Bible verses to "convert" people over the internet (although some of our fellow posters would seem to prefer that over the knock on the door at 10 in the morning), but when some of our other fellow posters asked why they approach people by door-to-door, it would only make sense to use the Bible as a reference if that is where they are getting their reason from. Your desire to keep them from "preaching at you" is like somebody asking a Jew why pork is a bad idea, then being mad when they quote the Torah because it is "imposing their religious beliefs."

 And there are a variety of issues being discussed in this thread- whether or not JW are a cult, how to keep them from your door, their advances in the causes of free speech,et. al. You focus on what interests you, and I’ll do the same. 

*thumbs up to you*

 You followed innocent people down the street, yelling profanities to teach people who you’ve never met "a lesson" because of people before them who you didn’t "get through" to. Nice. You ran up on the right ones. A man did that to me and my mother when i was a kid, followed us down the street shouting, threatening us. My mother loves peace, but she’s not a punk. Needless to say, it didn’t go the way he expected.

It’s probably because a fellow poster said they’d really like to "hear" from a JW now. And why is it perfectly okay to express how horrible you think JW are or ask questions/speculate about "why" they do what they do, but not okay to actually BE a JW and explain it?

 Everybody of EVERY faith was welcome here, I assumed. 

I grew up as a JW and had a blast; so this cult crap doesn’t fly with me- most people are quite nice, and as the above poster said, most folks are just trying to be happy in their faith. And I have to say, the frequency of the visits has more to do with the area of the country you live in. In NYC, you’re going to be visited more frequently than say, someplace like Chino, simply because the area each congregation has available is smaller. But I have to say, for those who really think they’re "doing something" by showing up to the door naked or pretending to be Satan worshippers, you’re not doing much more than giving folks something to talk about at lunch lol.
