Thank you for putting all the effort into typing this up for us.
Speaking of witnessing to JW's when they come to the door, I have had some interesting experienes talking to them. One guy looked at me after I had him read Rev. 1:8 and 1:17-18 in the TWT, and I could see a look of realization flicker in his eyes.
His wife who was sitting next to him on the couch (I had invited them in) nearly came unglued. She realized I knew too much to be just an interested person.... Then she nearly drug him out of there. I could see her yelling at him all the way to their car. He turned and looked back at me one last time. I'll never forget that look. He knew.
They sat in their car for a while. It looked like she was really letting him have it. I found out later that she had been a JW for over twenty years and he had only been in a few years. His niece had been praying for them. I've lost touch, and I don't know what ever happened to them.
The experience encouraged me because I've had others that were kind of frightening ... like being screamed at and called names by an elder. I told him I would pray for him though and that I loved him in Christ. He didn't know how to answer that. The young man with him stood transfixed at my door and had to be coaxed away. He had the same look the guy I mentioned above had ... like for a brief minute he could see.
I do this because I hope that someone out there is doing the same for me ... if it's my Mom or Dad at your door.
