Sorry for late posting. No salio or credit for the internet means no blog. But I'm getting back on track now. Figuring out due dates for everything.
Anyways, many things have happened. Last Saturday a young sister & I got invited into a house, a father & his two sons were there. What caught my eye at first was these huge houses built of cardboard and taped together. I guess the youngest son made them from scraps he found. But they were amazing because of their detail & he added trees & umbrellas & chairs, cut out windows. A complete dollhouse. But I fell in love with the plane he made! It had perfect measurements, from the nose to the tail. Even the wheels were proportioned correctly. It amazes me still what people with great imaginations can do with little to nothing.
The baba of the house started out to be quite a forceful preacher. He talked & talked, without taking a breath it seemed. His thoughts were all over the place. So the sister tried to get into our presentation of the tract Will Suffering End? So we asked him that question. Again he just went round & round throwing stuff out there. So, this thought came into my head to ask him. I said baba, do you read the Bible? He was like, "Oh yes of course I do." Then I said, "Great! So show me from the Bible the answer to that question because the answer is found in the Bible." He got his son to bring him the Bible, he opened it randomly & just stared. Then he tried to preach again without using the Bible. I said, "Baba, show me from the Bible the answer to that question." He had no clue. So I was like, "Let me show you. The answer is found in Revelation 21:3,4." We read it. He stayed silent. He just stared. Then he said, "Well I am in trouble now." We sat with him awhile. Asked thought provoking questions and looked up more scriptures. One came up about where people go when they die. He thought that they go to heaven. So we asked him, when we think of Gods purpose for the earth. What did he tell Adam & Eve to do? To fill the earth & subdue it forever. But they lost that privilege when they disobeyed God. So God created us to live on the earth. Why would he create us here if he wanted us to be in heaven with him? The baba again stayed silent. His son spoke up & said because he wanted us to know him & serve him. I'm like, God created us on earth to know him, while he lives in the heaven? That doesn't make sense So we got out the magazines to leave with them. All of a sudden the baba brings out two issues of the Watchtower. One from 2006 & one from 2013. The only two he had ever received. They were very used. You could tell read or studied over & over. It was amazing to see. We told him the magazines come out every month if he would like to receive a copy. He didn't know that was possible & was excited to receive them. So we made a plan to come back.
