Calling all Jehovah's Witnesses answer me this......

[Vendetta]

So walking home after running, a man who happened to be grabbing stuff from his trunk some stuff started falling out so I decided to help. Upon assisting the man and on my way home, he runs after me and hands me a book and says "hey I want you to read about this guy named Jesus. He wasn't no politician, or a war leader who sends people to war to kill Muslims."

I thanked the man and kept moving. I think what bugged me about these types of JW's is that if I do a kind act such as saying good morning or assisting them I have to receive religious manual on their faith. I will admit I have a tendency to read than trash the stuff since these folks are giving me this material out of sincerity.

I guess my question is, is this typical behavior for all JW? If someone says hello you are therefore compelled to talk to them about Jesus?

I think approahes like this definitely is a turn off. For one, it insults my religious intelligence to approach me saying "hey ever heard of a dude named jesus?" I mean, FFS! I live in LA Jesus is virtually everywhere. Two, I feel if a Jehovah's Witness is looking for converts their approach should be like tat guy. I think from all the JW books I received, I have over 50.

So please help me out here what is the issue?

That would **** me off no end. I help a guy out and he responds by shoving his religion down my throat?

but they never draw a line in the sand.
They do not know how to switch off.

Maybe that is the problem and perhaps there is the stigma
