JW - Door knocking - how does it work?

[Oorki Galoorki]

growing up any JWs who visited at my parents house had the door slammed in their face.
since starting my own christian walk i have become so much more accepting of others. we have had the same 2 people coming for well over a yr now on a tuesday at about 11am. I think because of moving to a new area i have been desperate to make friends the woman who comes(with im assuming her elderly father) is a beautiful person although i havent been here in about 8 months when she has come so i have not had the chance to invite her in for a cuppa.
although when i have discussed this with some friends from the church i attend they get very edgy and start sprouting off stuff about the JWs asking for money for the magazines and blah blah(as you can tell i just smiled and nodded letting it go out the other ear) I dont understand the angst between christian faiths and JWs.. im happy to chat to people about any thing god included

I'm finding it very interesting that this thread keeps threatening to go off onto a slanging match ... and then I read wonderful posts about acceptance.

I keep thinking back to a news story I read a couple of months ago - Australian "Angel" Saves Lives at Suicide Spot - CBS News - and feel that the vision of door knockers that I'm being offered matches this story.

OG - I think a lot of the angst comes from lack of understanding and education - unfortunately to many, religion is something they don't *want* to be educated in, and yet argue against. Just my 2c there

Totally agree Kaz, it's so lovely to hear all these positive stories.

Oh man, I'm on such a spiritual high from this thread - your experiences (the good ones!) and just the whole conversation is just so lovely!
