    Going out in the field service, we always talked about the same topics, so we only had to know a few verses by heart.

    What would you say were the most important verses to know by heart in order to defend our beliefs?

    John 3:16....... 'for God loved the world so much that he allowed us Bible thumpers to believe that we are the chosen ones and to haughtily condemn the rest of the world to eternal damnation'.

    that was my favorite when I went door to door.... It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside......

    Matthew 24:14, John 3:16, and Psalms 83:18. I used the Psalms one a lot.

    Strangely enough I did not remember a single text.

    I never could bring it up to learn this, somehow this is not how my mind works. I was therefore pretty toasted if there was a bible quiz at those silly parties: couldn't come up with even the most basic texts.

    Now I am glad I didn't!

    The only one I can think of is:

    That men may know, that you who's name is Jehovah, you alone are the most high over all the earth. Is that psalms 83:18???

    OH yeah also "AND this good news of the kingdom will be preached throughout all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations AND THEN THE END WILL COME" AAAAAH.

    Scared myself for a minute there.
