jehovah's witnesses came by my house today

I've learned from an early age that those friendly people who randomly ring your bell with wide smiles are Jehovah's witnesses...what we call "sa-ee-bi" (in Korean). People believing the wrong faith or believing the right faith in the wrong way? I guess in English, cults? I don't know if it's legitimate to call Jehovah's witnesses as cult members nowadays. I don't know where they stand these days in the politically correct world.

They rang my bell because we were Korean. The white male was accompanied by a small Korean boy. The white male asked me if I could read Korean in Korean (his Korean was superb) as he handed me a magazine that asked "Are you working too hard?" The magazine's title was "Wake up!" As soon as he handed me the magazine, I knew what was up. The spelling of God in the magazine was off for one. There is a way Christians spell it and how others spell it. It was spelled the latter way. Second, they were very well dressed and looked too gentle and nice to start selling me material goods. The little Korean boy looked nervous as I stared at him. The two wanted to share something greater!

I don't encourage cults to go around sharing their message but I'm sure at some point, someone thought I was part of a cult when I went around ev-ing. Those Chinese students in China, those people on the streets...during KCCC training...at least some of them must have thought I was nuts! So, I expected more as a fellow cold-faith-sharer. I wanted them to at least try to convince me. My complaint is...they were too nice to me and didn't give me their message. They just handed me a magazine where I had to figure it out for myself what their message was.

I was quickly able to see that either 1) they're just gentle people; or 2) it's their first time and they're shy! I always complained about the old Korean ladies in Flushing, NY who would without saying much hand you a pamphlet about Jesus. Lame!

You can't hand papers and expect people to listen to your message-- whether it is the truth or not. But I know how hard it is to go against the world...having people believe you're part of some sick cult. That's why I sympathized with them. Though I'm sure...to an extent, they think I'm part of a cult and they're part of the Truth. This encounter reminded me of when I was bold...and put my present self into shame. I have become lame!

Anyway, my heart of stone may be thawing a little. Praise God. It's nice to see your heart move a little...break a little for things that break God's heart.
