  and when they say they keep knocking on the same doors in case peoples circumstances have changed.

  they are looking for something in that persons life so they can build them up.

  so why search out weak ones?

  exerpt from 2/1/05 wt is the truth bearing fruit in those you teach?.

  consider how another christian was able to help her bible student.

  Thinking back

  my bookstudy was at an elders house that lived a bit out of the city.

  a small road with only his house and another.

  the other house was the first you passed.....unsightly....trashed cars.......broken down bicycles............not trashy, but not like the bit of paradise at the elder house.. i remember the elder telling us how the man had become ill and lost his job working for the waterworks department, a city job, with little wages.
