Nice thought but....

If you look in our newest Awake I think it is, there is an article about some Catholic youth festival where the clergy were urging people to 'spread the good news' and share the gospel with people. I found it funny that there were like 400 Witnesses who talked to the Catholics at their own festival and had a good deal of success.

Also there was a recent article, found here, from a Kansas City newspaper, where a bishop is tired of the violence in his area and wants to start an evangelizing work to 'bring gangbangers to God.' He said that the local congregations and their pastors were "scaredy cats" who are afraid to confront the seemingly violent people. He challenged them to join him in an "evangelism invasion." Here's the interesting part. I quote:

“Jehovah’s Witnesses are out there every Saturday going door to door. They don’t care how many doors are slammed in their faces. We have to reach out.”

It's funny that as religion declines, the churches are trying to stir up zeal for one of the most difficult things for a Christian to do, that of preaching to strangers. Only the organization with Jehovah's backing and spirit could ever accomplish that, especially worldwide.

We continue to grow, they continue to dwindle. Religion is failing mankind and people are realizing it. It's a shame that we get lumped into that group sometimes. Satan uses the propaganda to his advantage. Anyways, I won't go on and on about this. Just thought that was an interesting quote.
