Do you know what I find interesting about these sorts of stories? That opinions about our entire brotherhood are made by interactions with only a few. Do you think if we interacted with members of Christendom's churches the same way, we would walk away scratching our heads? I know I have....the many denominations have their altercations here on these forums.....some even telling others that they are bound for hellJesus was homeless but still we hear prosperity preaching. It makes no sense to me, confronting the errors, without the JWs knowing my love for them.
When they knocked on my door I invited them inside in my one room apartment, I told them that I love Jesus and that I believe in the trinity. So when we sat down and talked, they (husband and wife) asked me about my beliefs.
I told them.
Then they tried to confront them(my beliefs), asking me where I’ll go when I die.
I told them that I’ll go to heaven, they told me that only 144.000 something is going to heaven and I told them that I didn’t know that, but if that’s the case then I must be one of those 144.000. To which the wife replied “do you really want to go to heaven?-what are you going to do there?”.
I asked her “don’t you want to go to heaven?” And she straight up replied “no” whereafter her husband interrupted her, correcting her saying “of course it’s better to be in heaven”.
We changed the subject and soon they were on their way, but we agreed to talk again soon.
Next time they came the husband from last time had a young English/Danish speaking missionary with him instead of his wife. I read the Bible for them, I prayed for them -I’m pretty sure we prayed together too, although I was of that belief that they don’t pray with people who believe in the trinity, but maybe I just prayed for them.
I know that God can turn people like he turned Paul, I just want people to search for God through prayer. A personal relationship with God beats any theology any rational thought any argument.
I know that they felt It when we prayed and I never talked to them again.
I don’t know if the seeds I planted grew or if they were wasted in the dry earth but I know that this had an impact on all three JWs that came to my home.
I have much love for them and I want them to enter heaven with me, regardless of their religious flag.
Let’s not forget that Jesus disarmed people with love and we should really use that strategy. The same goes with sinners of all kind.
Much love!
....where is the unity Paul spoke of? (1 Corinthians 1:10) It's easy to point fingers at someone....but three finger are pointing back to yourself....
