Be polite, tell them you are in a rush but would be happy to take one of their pamphlets to look over. They will be satisfied and leave.

I have encountered many JWs in the past while traveling. They have all been extremely friendly and always try to start a conversation, but within minutes they bring up jw.org and start talking about how JWs have more and better translations of the Bible and how I should really check it out etc. I just smile and agree. Are all JWs like this? Why do you think this is so common in my experience? What drives them to want to spread their beliefs so much?

I agree with you completely. It is easier to just be polite than to start any sort of hopeless conversation with them. When they used to come to my door every Saturday I started to get a little pissed off about it, but I realized it wasn’t worth the conflict to say anything, other than to politely ask them to never knock on my door again.

How have you measured the tremendous impact you have supposedly had so far?
