I've had a similar experience with Jehovah's Witnesses. It's odd that 
the god squad seem most reluctant to talk to people who seem to actually 
know something about religion! It's like mathematicians being leery of 
anyone who shows any knowledge of maths.

This may be my cynicism showing, but I suspect that it's because they 
are more interested in compliance with their particular viewpoint than 
understanding. If you want to understand things, you're obviously not 
good convert material!

I think it was Luther who said that reason is the enemy of faith. Seems 
he was right.
