I'm not religious, my mother wanted me to be catholic but I was like my father and would not be led to such a prison of the mind... However I may feel about Christianity or Catholicism in particular, I have to say the highest level of intolerance I have ever seen has been the non-religious and atheists attacking religion. And not just any religion either its predominantly Christian religions..
Somehow, they seem to respond better and with far more patience to religions which subscribe to much more extreme social controls and rules than they do the religions which like it or not, helped give them the country they live in... Today we are expected to tolerate nearly every other religion but not Christianity.. Think I am wrong? Well then tell me why its wrong to say "Merry Christmas" to someone yet telling them a Muslim catch phrase of worship is never a problem?
I don't think religion is the way, but then thats my decision. A decision I came to on my own.. I think the best way to show tolerance is by being tolerant... Next time we are upset about some one showing there religion, we should try and give them the same consideration and tolerance we demand from them in our lack of belief...
Strange, I've never once had anyone solicit me regarding religion anywhere I've been, or at my home. I find it difficult to believe that it's really occurring all that often to anyone else either.
Oh, it happens. My town has more churches than it has bars, I think.

I'm from a fairly large urban area that has a ton of churches as well, yet I've never had anyone bang on my door or approach me in a public place. I didn't say it doesn't happen to others, I'm saying that it can't be very frequent.

Once you get an idea in your head it's quite challenging to dissuade you. Some of us have reported WEEKLY visits from JW. I would say weekly is fairly frequent.

Dang, its hard to get through to you. Weekly is frequent! That's 52 times a year.

You get visited once a week? Honestly?
Newby, some things which you have not personally observed are nonetheless true.
For example, I am smoking a cigarette. Right now. Can't see me, can you?
And yet it is true.
Try a little harder to keep up, dear.

Perhaps Newby is just ignorant of the Jehovah Witnesses. Witnesses are instructed to devote as much time as possible to preaching activities within defined congregation "territories" and provide a monthly report to their congregation on their witnessing activity. This can be as much as 50-70 hours per month.
"Auxiliary pioneers - make a commitment to do 50 hours of field service for a given month. This can be done on a per month basis, or on an ongoing basis.
Regular pioneers - make a commitment to perform on average 70 hours of field service each month, totaling 840 hours for the year.
Special pioneers - assigned by a branch to take on special work, such as publishing in remote areas. This may require committing to at least 130 hours per month in the public ministry. Special pioneers are given a stipend for basic living expenses.
Missionaries - sent to foreign countries to preach. They use at least 130 hours per month in preaching. Before being assigned to a location, such persons may go through training at Gilead School. Missionaries are given a stipend for basic living expenses. "

I've never met a Jehovah's Witness, and I'd say they don't represent mainstream christianity. I know of no christian churches that go door to door as you are describing, but I'm sure you'll say they visit once a week as well.

That's bull. JW and Mormon are the only Christian religions I know of that go door to door. I have been visited by both.
The religious beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses are in many ways similar to those of mainstream Christians. For instance, Witnesses rely on the authority of the Bible, worship only one God, and trust in Jesus' death and resurrection for salvation.
Some other beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses differ from mainstream Christianity, most notably their rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity and the existence of Hell. Witnesses also have stronger apocalyptic expectations than most Christians - since the founding of the group, Witnesses have been expecting the imminent arrival of Armageddon and the end times.
The following article summarizes the doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses, noting where they agree and disagree with mainstream Christian doctrines.
Mormon Beliefs
“Mormon” is a nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.They believe in, hope in, rejoice in, and testify of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World. Mormons attest to the validity of the Bible and modern-day revelation and have a core belief in the importance of eternal families. They assert that Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith in 1820 with the express purpose of restoring His Church and gospel in its purity and fullness to the earth. Mormons represent the fourth largest religious denomination in the United States.

Neither are Mormons and Christians.

Did you even read your own post? JW and LDS are types of Christians.

No they are not, they do not hold mainstream christian beliefs. But, if you need that crutch to make complaints about all christians in general shoving their beliefs down your throat, by all means, don't let that stop you.
