Don’t ask me why but my Dad recited to me ‘a wonderful experience’ out of the blue. He never talks JW to me so not sure where it came from. Anyway, here goes.
An American brother came over to the UK who was a great great great grandson of a pastor who was friends with Charles Russell.
Hope you’re keeping up.
So Charles gave this pastor some bible student literature and the pastor went back to his congregation and told them all about it.
The members of his congregation said he shouldn’t be reading that sort of thing because it taught against the belief in the trinity and hell fire and such things. So the pastor told the congregation that they should have a debate about it and study these books. Which they all did in the church.
And do you know what happened next? That’s right the whole congregation came into the truth. Every single one of them.
My Dad actually believed this story. Well I imagine all the JW’s told this story would believe it.
