I don't knock on other people's doors unless I need something (hardly ever) so why these people see fit to harrass people and doorstep them on a hugely personal topic as faith is beyond me.

The strangest and funniest racial discrimination that I ever encountered was in Chapeltown in Leeds. I was off my face with my pal Rohit, a Hindu when we found ourselves staring at the sharp ends of several knives held by a bunch of young Afro-Caribbean thugs who wanted to 'stick the Paki'
The ensuing gist of a dialogue took place:
Me: 'What are you doing?'
Them: 'You're OK mate you can go. We're going to stick the Paki'
Me: 'He's not a Paki he's from Egypt'
Them: 'Is that in Pakistan?'
Me: 'No. Egypt is an arab country and not a place in Pakistan'
Them: 'Huh? I suppose that's OK then. You can both go'
We left the scene shaking our heads at the ignorance of the products of the education system that we both worked for as teachers. There again as Physics teachers we never held geography teachers in high regard.

Use a Witness protection program and contact the local Kingdom Hall and ask to be taken 'off the beat'.
It works.

This was aboviously a call out or some sort of therapy thing, but getting the house numbers wrong was a bit careless! (I'm at 75 and they were looking for 95. Oops!)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not racist or anything, I was just pointed out a truism about my area, that's all.

Neither am I. Some of my best friends are white.

I have nothing against religious people. However I do dislike the fact that Johonah's feel the need to go around everyones house FORCING religion on people.
If someone wants to become religious, then they wil go see the relevant person. Johonah's coming to my house is neither going to make me join a religion or go to whatever dreery meeting they want you to.
My family always make sure that we are out of the house or have the curtains closed if we see them coming. Just best to avoid these type of people.

The only racist people in the world are either blacks or white old chavs who live in either South London, Rhyl, Blackpool or Liverpool.

Your sentiments are fuelled by ignorance Matthew.
Take some time to acquaint yourself with the various aspects of the faiths that you despise and you might then understand why they operate in the way that they do.

I have no interest in believing in fiction. You come to me with proof and I will happily accept it. I dont want to offend people on here with my opinions (I am very black and white with things like this) so I will stop there.

I approach strangers with somewhat of a Quaker attitude in that I try to see the Cyclist within the individual!

I was on the Sheffield tram one evening when I saw a group of around 4 or 5 JHWs or Mormons (I forget which) on the way to their evening meeting. One of them was trying to interest another passenger in his beliefs, he was so engrossed he didn't notice the tram had arrived at his stop until all his colleagues had already got off. He squeezed out through the doors while they were closing with less than a second to spare! That's the first time I've seen a JHW or Mormon trying to get their foot out of a door!
