Looks like they need to change their opening line then, very unusual for JWs to use the same question 
Wierd questions though reedy, who would have an answer to those questions during a quick conversation on a doorstep.......complex questions, do you have answers to them reedy?

Re: Christians arrested for defending their beliefs
Russ, they will knock at your door, but possibly on a day or days that you have not been in.
Witnesses are given an area to do the door knocking work on connected with their congregation.
They also cover shops and business.
I peronally was never in when they knocked on my door for years as I then worked full time.
Not many witnesses do the door to door work on an evening, but some more conscientious ones will try their best to catch folk in.

I'm not on about JWs I'm talking about any of the "god botherers" who seem to constantly harass the atheists on the site.

Re: Christians arrested for defending their beliefs
I get a regular visit from a local JW but thats only cuz I ask her to bring me the mags. I think I have had 2 maybe 3 random knocks a year and ive had 2 visits from Mormons in the last 12 months and 1 visit from born again Christians in the 13 and half years ive lived here. So they are not really knocking that often round here

[QUOTE=Russ;34925929]Would be nice.
i have no idea why maybe its
your location [not on their rout ]
may be they have called before and decided not to call back
maybe they do knock on your door when your out .
maybe there waiting for you to make the first move.

Re: Christians arrested for defending their beliefs
I don't get any knocks on the door since I moved from Biggleswade.
It must be said it's nice to not be told I'm evil and should be rotting in hell when I answer the door now.
