I know witnesses do not celebrate Christmas or birthdays, but what about Easter? I need to ring one and am conscious of intruding at Easter time.
I'd appreciate some guidance on the top five subjects to avoid when in a group of witnesses too.
I think this will win the prize for my most bizarre post.

No we do not celebrate Easter. Jesus commanded that we commemerate his death, which was being done, oddly enough, as you were posting this. Nor do we celebrate most holidays. Many ppl have a biased opinion about us, that praticing our religion is the only thing we have any interest in and I can assure you this is not the case. We have many interests, just as...

Religion is strictly off the list of conversation topics. I will NOT be recruited!
However, at the end of the day they are people who have views that differ from my own. I know a little about their beliefs and would prefer not to pursue the differences with a believer.
I just want to spend a day cooking and eating food with a group of people who are, like me, interested in food and that is what will unite us.

Alternative conversation topics
Before your visit, become an authorised sales agent for either an insurance company, a utility company or a firm installing double glazing/conservatories.
Become well practised in their sales techniques so you can drop into the conversation riveting questions such as; "and would you like to save money on your electricity bill?" or "have you heard about our Spring cash-back deal?"
Have a great day.

I think Jehovahs Witnesses are no different from any other group of people with a strong belief in something Eccles.
Far from trying your best not to "put your foot in it" with them they would probably enjoy discussing what they do and don't believe in with you.
I would imagine they have a fairly thick skin when it comes to people being rude to them,takes guts to go around knocking on doors when they are fully aware they invite some hostility.
Use the opportunity to find out what they are all about :-)

I might as well have put this in Chatterbank!
Thank you to those who have tried to help!
To clarify, I am the one who is meant to be imparting knowledge, not them. I am just trying to determine if there are any subjects that are best avoided.
I quite accept that they are thick skinned and and happy to discuss their faith. I'd just prefer to keep away from subjects that might take us down religious rabbit holes and detract from the point of the day.
I am going into their home and want to be respectful.
