I was recently very surprised to find a middle aged Jehovah's Witness lady knocking on my door. Her message was still the same old scare tactic. "Why do you think the world is so
bad?" I offered to explain how (IMHO) all experiences in life are an opportunity
for us to seek God's direction. Trials although not necessarily pleasant are
fine tuning our acts of worship...... Each day and all of our activities can
become acts of worship during our lifetime on this earth. I tried to steer the
conversation to the present rather than dwelling on a future paradise. She however was so controlled that she would not step out of her prepared script an inch for the sake of discussion and exchange of opinion, which was not only sad but quite rude. I took the Watchtower & Awake magazines she offered and even told her she was welcome to come again. Should experiment to see if I
can help her "think outside of the Watch tower?" Being that I was an active JW for 19 years before finding Islam (Alhamdulillah!) I feel I can talk to her from someone who's been there on the inside. Of course if she knew I was once a JW she would be prohibited from talking to me as I am now considered an apostate.
