<p>I don’t mind at all when Christians offer me info! In fact, when Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons come to the door, I always smile and chat for a couple of minutes. I tell them that I have respect for them doing what they believe in. I also tell them that I already have a strong faith of my own. Sometimes we exchange ideas for a few minutes. I have never yet had a Jehovah’s Witness or Mormon be rude or pushy. I actually enjoy talking to them! They don’t even flinch when I tell them some of my beliefs, either! Amazing! I usually try to focus on what we have in common, and it’s always been harmonious.</p>
<p>What I mind is being labeled ‘satanic’ or being told I am going to ‘hell.’ I’ve been told that a number of times by the born-agains. I know I shouldn’t let it bother me, but I admit that it does. I find it rude and offensive. Sure, that’s their right to say that to me. I guess they have the right to pass gas in public too, huh. That doesn’t mean I have to stand there and smell it.</p>
<p>Why the difference? Because the JW and the Mormons are just OFFERING their info and are not trying to cram it down my throat. They don’t seem attached to whether I accept it or not. They’re just doing their thing, joyfully it seems, and inviting me rather than coercing me. It’s a huge difference.</p>
