Thanks Carl..you are so thorough and analytical. You are, of course, quite correct in all your points except for one....you "think" their theology is mistaken?
I had an interesting encounter with a JW on a plane. We didn't really begin speaking until nearly the flight end but then it got quite animated and rapid going from one subject matter to another after we answered her with Scripture. After a layover, my husband and I boarded the next plane and lo and behold here comes this same lady on, now another plane, and sat in the same exact seat as the prior plane. All three of us together as before in the same exact seating arrangement. Never happened before nor since and I've been on many trips. We were all in shock but were able to continue the conversation immediately after already making introductions 2 hrs earlier. Turns out she was on her way to a JW convention in Maine.
Time literally flew by as we hit one issue after another. A few days later, 2 JW's (men) came knocking at our host's home. In 20 years of living there they had never had this happen. The two men had more than they could bargain with. We had already been thru every single issue they brought up after our chance meeting on the plane. One of them said that in all his 25 years of knocking on doors he had never met anyone that knew the bible as much as they did (or better). He kept saying "we're done here" and "we need to leave." After about an hour or so they practically ran out the door. They could not get out fast enough.
How's that for divine intervention?
