That is correct. I leave them to God. I am not so arrogant as to believe I can do anything but trust God. I will go with God's call.

@eladar saidBut God didn't tell you to leave them to Him. He told you to love 'thy neighbour as thyself.'

Would you like me to tell you about the good Samaritan?

@eladar saidThere was a kid at my school (Craig I think he was called) who scored a brilliant goal on the football pitch. The praise he received went to his head a bit and I recall him (in the following days) making some pretty bold claims about what he was capable of. Some of these claims alas have deserted my memory, but from what I do recall he was apparently related to Batman and had a magical tunnel in his bedroom that enabled him to travel through time. He also claimed that his bones were unbreakable and was able to read minds. (The following year he was only really known as the boy who wet himself in the art room).
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
According to you God does not live up to what is in the Bible either.
Your Christian God is a little bit like Craig. His bluster doesn't quite translate into reality.

@eladar saidGod does not live up to the qualities attributed to Him, no. (Omniscience, omnibenevolence etc).
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
In other words you agree with me.

@suzianne saidSo kind of like door to door?
Ideas are never wasted. If they were, Jesus never would have been successful. Even though they tried to silence him, tried to curtail his movement, tried to poison it from within, what he started has flourished.
Indeed, to this day, what Jesus taught is best spread by word of mouth, individual to individual, one person at a time. Even corporate broadcasting can be wast ...[text shortened]... lly in countries with few other alternative distribution methods and therefore its worth is secured.
@rajk999 saidLol. You are so lost. We never give up unless you specifically tell the next ones who come to your door to not ever dome back again. No matter the weather they are out in, using their own cars, paying for their own gas and just maybe not feeling good with arthritis or bad knees or some other ailment all just to share some bible message with you that just might give you hope for the future on a new and cleansed earth that Jehovah has promised to all if they would only follow his word the Bible in it's entirety and not by one who picks and chooses what sounds good to them.
Wasteful yes. Punished for it no. It is like the JWs around here. I have told at least 8 pairs of door to door JWs that they are wasting their time with me. Each time I have a new arsenal of faults of the JW doctrine to tell them about. They keep coming back. I think they secretly hoping for a reverse conversion. They may be closet JW haters who do not have the strength to oppose their elders.
You should be ashamed but it's clear you haven't that ability.

@galveston75 saidJWs are peddling a false doctrine and an adherence to a cult religion, which Jesus Christ did not preach. They are the lost ones.

As for that nonsense about people have to follow the bible in its entirety, where is that instruction from Jesus Christ?

@galveston75 saidYes, exactly, if only your message wasn't so tainted.
