Now worries there - I would rather deal with Witnesses than several 
other religions.  My Witness friends respect my beliefs, I respect 
theirs, and we are all happy.  You will note that I have no born-again 
friends.  There's a reason: I don't like it when people spend time 
trying to:

A) Tell me I'm going to hell. (I think being a former Catholic and 
current Buddhist gives me bonus points for damnation.)

B) Trying to convert me.  I had to travel from Albany, NY to White 
Plains, NY and back (in one day!) trapped in a car with a pair or 
born-agains.  I was ready to commit homicide  by the time I got back.  I 
*almost* demanded that they leave me by the side of the road.
