Well, Christmas is almost over, so may be I don`t
hurt too many "Christmas feelings"...of course I wish everyone here a wonderful feast among your loved ones, that wouldn`t be the point...
However for me who got the opportunity - and took it by childlike faith - to make on the busiest
shopping mall in Berlin at that time a simple
prayer to ask Jesus as my Saviour into my heart
through the witnessing of an ex-drug addict, then
part of TF, but who was , from what I know smarter than me & left earlier TF, I really wonder some=
times, why exers have to go to such extremes to
degrade, belittle, run down about everything TF
ever did.Because the way we measure, we will be measured ourselves.
To be frank, I had often great times in giving out posters & Lit, which was more intelligent than Conackry rip-off etc., e.g. Proof at last...TF
wasn`t the first compiling OT-prophecies, nevertheless, I am thankful they did.Of course for
the average struggling home, the Christmas pushes
meant to finally come over the hump for a while...
right, if anyone objects, that the legal basis
wasn`t given...what I mean though is, that postering, giving out pamphlets etc. couldn`t in
itself be the wrong thing...ok being linked to TF it becomes sooner or later wrong, but the average
TF-Christmas-message e.g. is pretty much gospel-
like, from what I remember.At least TF, more than many others, have a salvation prayer at the end.
You could wish for some more details, but that`s TF`S pretty childlike understanding of salvation.
And for a start, I guess that could serve.
So I don`t see in itself nothing wrong, to distribute pamphlets on whatever day, be it Sabbath...Christmas (the Romans celebrated sol
invictus around that time...) or whatever day...also because people are in the mood of thinking about things like that...whereas it can be pretty
boring, to be a sheep among goaty relatives....I hope I offend no one here...it`s
the GenX-site, alright....
I think the most wonderful litnessing experience I had was meeting an old man in Germany on the street, who was deeply confused what to
believe
about Jesus, since he had read lots of the
theologist Bultmann, who is known for his attempt of "demystification" of the Gospel...I told the
old man, he could in prayer get to know Jesus himself, so he`d know personally..after he did,
he had tears in his eyes & I knew, he knew what
I meant...chances are, that on a Christmasday you
could run into a soul being quite desperate...I guess we all met people, contemplating to commit suicide etc...or we could share our love &
concern with the homeless etc...so there could be done
something good on a Christmas day besides stuffing our bellys....of course sharing love with the relatives is something veeeery positive, but
some
might be free for some time, to do something else
and again, if it wasn`t for some stupid fundquota,
distributing lit, talking to some needy souls can be a good thing or not???????????
