And yes before you say it, I do indeed believe the concept of whitnessing is an extension of pure arrogance.
If you don't want to speak to door-to-door people, then just tell them so. Why is this such a huge deal? I don't understand why you see this as arrogance; they hold certain beliefs, and they're not FORCING them on you, they're just trying to reach you and expose you to them. You don't even have to be exposed if you don't want to, just turn them away from your house...?
