JW looking clarity followup

No, its actually not trespassing unless you put a sign up.

That is patently untrue. Seriously, you might want to look into the law yourself rather than listen to your church elders on that one.

And there are zero implications with a visit.

The implication is that someone I don't know has the gall to step on my property and proselytize in the hopes I join their religion. Homey don't play dat.

You can even ask to be put on a "do not call" list.

I shouldn't have to request to not be solicited.

Witnesses are not members of a cult.

All religions are cults. If you believe in some imaginary friend who's kind unless you don't do something he likes, where he then threatens you with eternal torture, and he has weird rules about things that may have made sense to ancient Middle Eastern peasants but really have no place in the 21st century, you're a cultist.

They are normal human beings.

The same could be said for all cult members.

If you think that it makes you superior because you feel you know something they don't and it makes you more free as a result, thats just great. But all they're trying to do is share something that could be encouraging.

The Christian god is anything but encouraging, signed, a former Catholic. Also, with the surgeries I had, the no blood transfusions thing really wouldn't fly.

And if you don't care, you can remember that they are humans. And in my opinion, ALL humans deserve to be treated with dignity.

Treating someone with dignity != letting them waltz on my property to preach to me. It means I politely ask them to leave. Or simply have my dog bark at them from inside my house until they do. If they don't, there's hell to pay.

But clearly your beliefs (or non beliefs) are important to you. Or I doubt you'd be on forums commenting on them

You'll note that I'm on an online forum devoted to atheism rather than attempting to spread the good news of non-belief to theists as though it's my mission. Maybe that's because I'm not so arrogant to think that my world view is so important that I need to go into other people's homes - virtual or not - to share it.
