WITNESS
By Matthew Martin
Matthew is hiding in his sitting room, afraid to go out, because Jehovah's witnesses are knocking on doors in his street. He doesn't want to get caught up in one of those conversations. They are wasting their time anyway, because if he was interested he would go to their church, wouldn't he? At this point the doorbell rings...

Your thoughts about this video

Mike
Matthew... you seem o have a lot of questions about the Witnesses (i.e. "what do they think they're going to achieve by knocking on my door...") Why don't you answer the door and talk to them? They're nice people!

Ben Ashitey of Ghana
Iwas once upset about how they keep knocking on your door but how I think they are as calm as doves

Jenny
JW's are very nice people you don't have to be scared of them. All you have to do is say to them please make me a DO NOT CALL and you shouldn't get anymore knocks.

Stephanie Cozens
Have you ever wondered why, on Saturday mornings, instead of having a lie-in with a cooked breakfast, we come knocking on your door? We have love for everybody and we want to share our life saving message with all. If it wasn't important then we would not do it. If you have a moment one day, please listen and you would see that we are not weird or scary. We are genuine and we won't keep you talking longer than you want.

Tal
I think you are missunderstanding them... They just want to talk about the bible with you.

Dan Bryant
Jehovah's Witnesses only call on people because they care about them. But if someone really does not want them come to there door, they can request to be put on a do not call list. By doing this, the Witnesses will not call on them.

Takashi
You are misunderstanding Jeovah's Witnesses. They will never hurt you. I belive they are the best group of people on earth. Absolutely!

Matthew Martin
Unbelievable! I am an Italian and I am also scared of the Jehovah's Witnesses. They keep a knocking on my door and won't leave me alone.

Janet
They won't attack! Because they are very very nice people!
