We had "Jews for Jesus Lady". She was, of course, trying to attract followers, but she turned people off more than anything else. She used to hang around campus wearing a big sign depicting Hell and Heaven, and people walking across a bridge that was a crucifix, and thereby being "saved".
Now, this wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't disrupted Jewish High Holy Day services one year by walking in and starting to preach about Jesus the Messiah. (She was politely asked to leave.)
I don't want to offend anyone. I firmly believe that each person has to figure out for him- or herself what to believe in, and follow that path. But you just don't go into a religious service and disrupt it by preaching something totally contradictory to that religion. UGH.
