Had a Jehovah's Witness stop by

Yesterday morning a Jehovah's witness stopped by and caught me in between classes. He was a bigger guy and looked like he was in his 40's or so. I had a few minutes so I invited him in.

He talked for a few minutes how its hard to "find peace" in this world with everything that's going on. I'd say more about what he said, but he pretty much just repeated and elaborated on that idea. Then he read Isaiah sixty five verses twenty-something. It was a prophecy about a time of peace and prosperity returning. His point in that was that many people don't have that today. He said he was going around encouraging people to look into the Bible to find peace.

I sat quietly and listened, resisting the urge to grab my Bible that was sitting on the table a couple feet away from me and waited for him to finish his thoughts. When I had a moment I said that I don't even look for peace in this world because it can't be found. I have peace through my relationship with Jesus Christ, by living for him. With that he basically said "good for you, its too bad lots of people aren't like that" and left.

What struck me as odd was that I didn't even know whether he was a Jehovah's Witness or Mormon. I figured it out because the literature that he offered me was watchtower, which google told me is Jehovah's Witness. My thought afterwords was "Wow, even these guys have gotten pansy in the way they share what they believe." I mean the guy no disrespect. He clearly meant well, but his approach was really weak sauce.
