    Hi freeedom fighters and free thinkers.

    Many moons ago when i was held captive i knocked on an old ladies door,she was hard of hearing.

    I read the relevant passages to her from the bible ,told her that it is obvious we are living in the last

    days [this was over forty years ago] and it was obvious she was confused ,i started to speak louder

    and shouted" what do you think of all the trouble in the world?" .She just caught the word trouble and

    a look of panic spread across her face, as she looked up and down the street she said "what trouble

    where?"It was a case of calm down dear ,i said" it's allright there's no trouble".

    The point i want to make is ,as far as the witnesses are concerned the way to help people is to preach to

    them which in this case is useless. Other church groups would have helped her by inviting her to a coffee

    morning or some social event a much better way of reaching out to someone . Unthinkable procedure

    for the jdubs.

    Edmund.
