Duelling proselytizers

[Aupmanyav]

I mean, here we've got proselytizing targetting people mostly from Latin American countries, so generally mostly Catholic if they're religious, so I'm sure the JWs have ready arguments for why a Catholic should abandon their faith and become a JW themselves, but if you look at the proselytizing tracts they hand out, it's as if the Mormons (or the SDA, Mennonite, and "non-denominational" churches, all proselytizing to the same group in different ways) don't exist.

A sales rule - do not discuss your opponent, it brings attention to them.
I do not like BJP's (Modi's party) tactics of targeting opposition when they do it.
They should concentrate on telling what they are doing.

India stands fourth in foreign exchange reserves after China, Japan and Switzerland (with USD 682 billion). I think we should be able to overtake Switzerland sometime during the next year (USD 795 billion).

The Mormon missionaries are back in town here.

Seems like they're mostly targeting greenhouse workers when they're in town for shopping, so I see them a lot on my town's main street, trying to engage with people.

They're doing their thing a stone's throw away from the small park where the JWs usually set up, also targetting greenhouse workers.

So far, I haven't noticed the two sets of proselytizers engage with each other directly, but I got to wondering why they don't.

As much as I would find it entertaining for the Mormons and the JWs to hold a public debate in that park to both try to win the hearts and minds of their audience, we don't generally see proselytizing religions engaging head-to-head like that.

Why do you think they don't?

A question I've asked myself for some time. I've also asked believers but got no answer.
To convince me, they would have to overcome a few dozen hurdles, that there is a god, that it's only one, that it has certain attributes, up to the minutia of how to interpret certain passages in their holy books.
Mormons and JW already agree on most of those hurdles, so it should be easier to convince each other than an Agnostic. Better yet, have a conference with the best scholars of both denominations and let them find a consensus. Scientists do that all the time, very successfully.
The fact that they don't even try tells me that they know that they don't know what they are talking about.
