Effective begging
Nice contrast to the ineffective begging two weeks ago.
Same bus stop, same time of morning. This time a car pulls into the parking lot near me. A female human hops out of the car and comes over to me. HUH? What's happening? Females NEVER approach me for friendly purposes. Is this a process server? Random shooter? Nope. A Jehovah's Witness doing God's work. She gives a 10-second spiel, decides that the pamphlet "Has science replaced the Bible?" is the correct one. Hands it to me. I say something like "You got that right! THANKS!" and she runs back to her car and goes off to save more souls.
She did everything right. First of all, being a female... but that's not something you can just choose. Either you got it or you don't. Takes guts to approach an unknown male. Second, she worked FAST. Satan is working FAST, so God's people also need to work FAST. Third, she had the social acumen to figure out that I'm the sciencey type.
If I had time and social acumen, I would have told her that she didn't really need to convert me. I'm already on her side in a general way. Not the Witness theology as such, but the concept that the Bible is a science textbook is pretty much all I write about lately.
So the begging was highly effective but sort of redundant.
Still, God's work for damn sure.
