I suspect the true purpose of door-to-door evangelism is not to bring in outsiders, but to galvanize insiders. You go out into the world with the Good News, but no one wants to hear it. Slammed doors, anger, indifference everywhere. Makes you beyond grateful to finally return to the safety and validation of your own people.

That’s the real point. You might rope a rube once in a while, sure it happens. I just don’t think it happens often enough to be worth the effort, unless there’s another, more insidious, albeit clever motive at play.
