I am not a supported of JW but they are practicing their religion as they believe they should. Evangelical Christians do the same thing but send missionaries to other countries or even urban areas(street ministries) to spread the Word of Christ. They do it because they believe that the only way you will be saved is by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You don't see them going door to door in The Villages because most Christians are too intimidated by non-believers and fear the ridicule that might happen to openly talk about their faith and the local churches don't push it. The local churches have different ways to spread the Word - ask you to bring a neighbor or friend to some church event - Christmas pagent, Thanksgiving meal, sunrise service, youth choir, the Village Voices.
The commission is to only spread the word, plant a seed, not convince anyone. That is God's job. If you aren't ready to accept it, no amount of discussion will change your heart.
