Should I approach the Jehovah Witnesses loitering outside of my office?

[Videodrome]

 And it makes me so angry people telling me all of this suffering is part of their deity's plan for a person. Or how humans are perfectly designed (when these stories show that they clearly aren't). I 'm wondering if educate the religionists during my lunch break maybe, but I know that may be a waste.
Thank you for your consideration.

I see a lot of these comments like that floating around on Facebook and it baffles me to.  

Or stories like this: http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/612...-wheel.htm

Their vehicle was destroyed, but they're still alive and credit God for "taking the wheel" and saving them.  So.... in order to seem more impressive, God couldn't intervene a moment sooner?  Or did God purposefully destroy their car as part of the Plan?  

It's weird, there are so many implications that come with saying a God has this much power over this incident. Why were they in danger in the first place if God is looking out for them?

Don't forget that god moves in mysterious ways.

Thanks for the input everyone. I guess if it was different religionists then I might approach them. I know that if my town had a 'Dawah Table' I'd approach those Fascists, because they might just be ignorant children who don't know any better and have been duped by people like DawahMan (I have better chance of combining them than JW). I think I'll judge each case of religionists in the street individually.

If you hear them actively saying harmful and threatening things, then calling them out on that would be OK in my opinion. Just for example, if they threatened someone with Hell, you could point out that they are threatening someone, not God. If God wants to deliver a threat, I'm sure he can do it himself.

But generally, unless they come to you, the chances of making any impact on them is probably zero.

Like I sad, many sad stories. And it makes me so angry people telling me all of this suffering is part of their deity's plan for a person.

My 2-cents about JVs is that they have been completely brainwashed or nearly so.  I think that it is a complete waste of your time, and there is always a small possibility that one of them may decided to "get physical" with you and then blame it on you!

They just sit there quietly. I don't see them as a threat, and I've never seen them approach people. But, equally, I'd hate to see anyone brainwashed. I know I won't convince a JW out on the street, and I'm probably not the most eloquent person.

Witnesses don't believe in Hell, as far as I'm aware.

Then don't do anything, and don't worry about the whole brainwashing thing. Pretty much the whole world finds JWs annoying.

The world ended in 1914, and everything since is an illusion created by Satan, so confrontation would be pointless.

Ask them about their views on blood transfusion, when they tell you it's a sin ask them what they would do if their child was bleeding to death after a car accident. If they say they would refuse a transfusion tell them (loudly) that they are a child murdering bastard and you feel shamed to belong to the same species as them.
I did this to a JW caller who had his 12 year old daughter with him, both left in tears. Maybe I was cruel, but maybe the kid got to think what the religion really means.
