In the US we have Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses that do this; are there any similar in the UK and what kind of religion do they proselytize?

    Solicitors in the UK are what you’d call lawyers in the US. And generally no, not in my experience. I think I had Jehovah’s Witnesses around once 20 years ago.

    Lived in the UK nearly 60 years, JWs are the only door to door religious folk I’ve known. They are coordinated, so If you talk too much sense you won’t see them again. Probably had them knock under 10 times total at houses I’ve lived in. They are not ubiquitous or bothersome.

    I’ve not lived in the UK for about 15years but growing up we would occasionally get Jehovah’s Witnesses knock. Not very regularly though.

    Yeah we get Jehovah’s Witnesses - I just let them excitedly tell me all about their beliefs for ages and pretend to be interested. Then eventually I will say something like - Well, that does sound reasonable - I will have to tell my husband about this.

    They tend to fid an excuse to leave after that - which is at least one nice thing about them, some other groups - will tell me that my “lifestyle choices” are immoral and I will go to hell. Jehovah’s don’t - they just leave.
