I recieved this story in my email I get from the Charlotte Observer, local newspaper here in Charlotte, NC............
This has got to be the worst case of Door to Door Ministry I have ever heard....
If you think having church people come to your door trying to get you to go to church and worship JESUS CHRIST (PRAISE THE LOARD!) is bad....

I love this part of it....
I guess they were trying to get you to feel guilty for trashing it.

Christians, Jews, Muslims and others in 35,000 Charlotte households are getting a surprise Christmas gift: A DVD on Jesus.
The DVDs are due to begin arriving this week in homes in 16 ZIP codes, a gift from a Christian campaign determined to mail the "JESUS" DVD to every home in Mecklenburg County.
That's the tip of the evangelical iceberg -- Mecklenburg is part of the JESUS Film Project, which seeks to circulate the film worldwide. Begun by Campus Crusade for Christ International, organizers say the movie has been seen more than 5 billion times and translated into 900 languages. It has been circulated in parts of the Carolinas.
Larry Spach, co-leader of the Mecklenburg effort, described the two-hour film as an electronic version of a Christian tract.
"People will not read anymore," he told the Observer. "We feel like this is a medium that they will look at. ... We feel like it's one of the least obtrusive ways to share Christ."
The 1979 docudrama, released in theaters by Warner Bros., tells the story of Jesus' life from birth to resurrection. Its reviews are varied. The ministry calls it "perhaps the most influential movie in history." In an August article on the Mecklenburg effort, the New York Times called it a box office flop with a "gooey soundtrack and a British voiceover." The "DVD & Video Guide 2006" calls it "More a Bible study than entertainment."
I love this part of it....
Spach said he hopes non-Christians who receive it won't be offended. They're free to treat it like junk mail and toss it, he said. "That's between them and God. We would prefer they just give it to somebody else."
