No problem Mumma, always happy to answer questions
To put it VERY basically (not that I think you wouldn't understand, LOL), the Bible teaches that Jehovah only accepts worship according to His standards - so, not every religion is created equal ITMS. He gave Moses 10 Commandments for His people to follow. But, when Jesus came to Earth, he found that the supposed 'spiritual leaders' of the day had corrupted Jehovah's teachings to the extent that they were a burden on the people. They used their positions to take the best of everything, while adding to the people's spiritual responsibilities and making them 'groan and suffer'. That's why Jesus taught first his apostles, and then the disciples, to go to the people and preach about Jehovah's Kingdom - because they were being misled.
Obviously this is going to get into a very emotive area, and I want to take care not to offend anyone. The prevailing attitude today is that as long as you're a good person, and you don't do bad things, and you worship God in your own way, you're alright. Or sometimes I hear that all religions are just different sides to the same coin. The reason we continue to preach from door to door is because we have learned from the bible that that is not true, Jehovah is very specific about the kind of worship that He accepts - and how would anyone know if nobody told them?
Again, I do not want to offend anyone with the above paragraph - it is simply the answer to the question
