What do you know about it??? I don't deny number padding exists, but to think that's all individual missionaries want is ridiculous. Most missionaries don't have that on their mind at all.

I do know something you know nutshell, i aint stupid!!! I have been around many. When i was in India (surprise surprise) a man (in goa) named miguel da silva preached to me and my family, we walked and ignored after nicely giving a no, he followed us for so long, he even attempted to get in our little rickshaw? This has happend to me in Mumbai and London too.
Then again, what do i know about it???

To characterize all missionaries from all different walks of life because of a few experiences you have had is ignorance.

Well, my bad, i though miguel da silva indicated cathlocism... And the others? Christian.
I am not ignorant. So dont call me that.

You've demonstrated that the missionaries you've encountered have been forceful, but I don't believe that may logically lead to the conclusion that all missionaries are forceful. You've also failed to demonstrate in any way how missionaries just want to increase their numbers.

You still are calling out all missionaries under the umbrella of the few you've encountered.

Your telling me that you haven't seen missionaries flying out in thousands to places like Africa and India to convert the masses? Pope John Paul II even once stated that it was his wish to make the Indian Sub-Continent a part of the Catholic Church... I must say, when i mean missionaries, i mean Abrahamic missionaries.

Christianity, JW, Islam, Cathlocism. Really, that is a lot. They have the worlds largest number of followers.

So, considering the size, isn't it a safe bet the methods and techniques and motivations among the different groups and individual missionaries may be different?
Don Penguinoini

No, not really. They are all abrahamic. And they are the same, of what i have SEEN and experienced, they are quite the same-ish. Except that in some places Islamic law gets taken over the top e.g. Sudan.

As a former missionary, I'll have to disagree. For me and many others I know, at least, it wasn't about the numbers.
