Barracuda!
How many of you now have the song by Heart playing in your head right now? Besides that song, I remember an interesting run-in with an actual barracuda while snorkeling in the Keys. It was very unsettling.
We were swimming around and enjoying the clear water and seeing all the colorful fish and plants. It was exciting. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something flash. About ten yards away from me and my son was about a five foot scary fish with big teeth staring at us. I wanted to walk on water at that moment and get the heck out of there.
Honestly, most of the church feels this way when they see JWs and Mormons heading to our doors. Some people, not me, like to argue with them. I heard that some will turn the lights off and go hide. We have to stop looking at these people like barracudas!
It's an opportunity.
JWs in particular are trapped. The Organization uses guilt and fear to keep the people in check. They use mind control techniques to convince them that the Watchtower is the "true" church. Only through them is salvation possible. They are truly in bondage.
We must strive to be learners and find ways, not to win arguments, but to win souls. You will definitely grow in your knowledge of the Lord as you engage these people.
Be encouraged. Go Fish!
