To cap it off we then learned that the re-enactment was performed by both of the original persons. I commended the new sister afterwards for her willingness to re-enact her own story.
She was also part of our group in the service this morning. While walking in the territory I asked her what was the key thing that persuaded her to become a Witness. She said it was being shown John 5:28, 29, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out ... to a resurrection."
It made her realize that the dead are asleep in memorial tombs waiting for the resurrection. That relieved her of a nightmare she had about her father who died when she was a teenager. He'd had a drinking problem and she was taught this sin put him into hell fire. She had terrible dreams of her father on fire. She was greatly relieved and grateful to learn what the Bible really teaches.
Now she's helping others extinguish such
scare tactics.
A US Mail truck stopped on the street and the mailman went digging for things in the back. I approached him and offered him a Memorial invitation. He said, "I don't need one. I give them out too."
"You're a Witness?" I asked.
"Yes," he said. He was baptized in 1992. From total stranger to a dear brother in 5 seconds.
We continued door to door with
invitations while he joined us
on the street delivering mail.
At one door Carol and I had a very good conversation with a young man holding his baby daughter. He expressed genuine interest, asked for details, and said he'd come. I told him I'd look for him.
We returned to our condo to find a Memorial invitation stuck in our front door.
