That’s the exciting part... we don’t know whose heart has been prepared. We might meet resistance, we might get met with a delay, we might help launch someone into the Kingdom of God... all we can do is speak (or write) as the Holy Spirit bids us speak (or write). The rest is up to God. Or you just might end up making someone's day who didn't choose to become offended by an attempt at kindness. Hell, who knows, you might even get a return smile. |

I’m only needling you, Al, because of our decade-long “discussion” of this topic. those years when I didn’t know where you were, I missed you, so I have to make up some of those missing notches on my bedpost. |

Oddly (to me), I got a lot more of those when I talked to people in the entertainment areas of Virginia Beach, on Friday and Saturday nights. |

Funny how you can also choose to thank a JW who knocks on your door on Saturday, as opposed to being offended and slamming the door on their face.

They look at me kinda funny. |

I don't open the door for them. The white shirts and skinny black ties are just a little too Servite for me.

Funny thing, we've got a couple of Mormon guys, originally from Tennessee, who both teach Spanish at Servite. Go figure. |

You Christian types sound an awful lot like "Liberals" they always know what is best for you and so do the people knocking on your door trying to sell you something (saving your soul) that you have absolutely positively no interest in.

That's a fair point. I think a key difference is I wouldn't consider you to be part of a cult if you didn't agree with me. |

I don't consider you to be part of a cult, where did that come from? |

I don't consider you to be part of a cult, where did that come from? I didn't think you considered me part of a cult. The latest pejorative toward those who aren't Trump haters, is they are cult-like. In other words, if you are a non-Christian, I don't think less of you, or consider you to be part of some cult. You just believe differently than I do. |
