Jehovah's Witnesses never force things down your throat.
if you've had an experience where that is the case, then i very much doubt they were JWs. it's not something we do - we are not rude, and if people really do not want to listen, then we leave.
btw. we do not recuit (spelling?), we convey a message and if people like the message, then they can have a free Bible study and possibly become Jehovah's Witnesses.
but, we don't force beliefs onto people. we have a message and want to tell it to everyone, because we believe it and the message is good and we want to share it with everyone!
