In 2002, a British woman was so annoyed by Jehovah Witnesses repeatedly knocking on her door, she waited until they were holding a service, then started pounding on the front doors of their church. Then, she tried to get them to change religions. After about a half-hour, she was forced to leave.

When it comes to, spreading the good news, how pushy should a Christian be pushing? Is it okay to bring religion to someone's front door?

But I'll answer with a question, maybe several, depending on your response.
To wit:
How strong is the truth you hold dear?

A JW is like a salesman, trying to change your mind until you comply without whatever he's trying to sell you. I've told a JW that I wasn't interested, and she responded "what would be a better time to come back?" So you kept using all the same tricks salespeople use, which are based on the average person's tendency to want to be polite.
She left me with one of those Watchtower magazines, and about a month later, another group pair of JWs knocked on my door, with the same tactics.

Most Christians dont understand the Great Commission either. Jesus instructed them to make disciples of people and teach people to follow the commandments. Instead everyone wants to force their church doctrine down peoples throats.

Yes, ignoring me by being unable to stop talking about me and addressing me in the third person in nearly every post 🙄

- do you know that Charles Russel was a fraudster?
- how many false predictions of the return of Christ have the Watchtower made in the last 100 years?
- do you know that your there are elders in your organisation guilty of sexual misconduct or covering up sexual misconduct ?
They usually leave shaking their heads.
