lI don't necessarily see sharing of literature on one's doorstep as "shoving it down my throat" because I have never felt offended or anything of that manner by a piece of paper on my door that I'll just throw away. I'm not that easily bothered or phased. Far more annoying or worse things can and do happen to me in a day. If I sweat the little shit then I'd be on heavy meds right now, I'd need them to get through the day. I don't know how some people live like that.
That said, I think that is bad PR and many churches know it and don't "advertise" that way. The fact is that if one truly wishes to tell their religion, they must do so lovingly and in a gentle manner as well. People don't like feeling coerced into any sort of belief or practice. Very poor tactic on the part of the church and I would not go there. That is highly reflective of a church's inner practices.
How many of you feel this way
