Jehova's Witnesses

[jack]

OK, Jehova's Witnesses. NOW we're fully moved in.

They were really polite so I didn't have any desire or energy to get into an argument. Although I wish I'd pushed back on what I think are of the risks of harm from actively proselytising, and the things that I think may be harmful in JW generally (without getting into a big theological debate, or criticising these two ladies).

Perhaps it's partly about means and goals and what we can trust to God: I can imagine that we're not meant to be doing good works just because we fear for our eternal fate and that many modern Christians may take the kingdom of God on Earth thing more seriously in trying to do good, selflessly help the needy, etc., simply because they love the Lord, and they trust God to ensure that all souls are offered adequate opportunity for salvation without proselytizing requiring great emphasis on our part. More cynically, it might be partly about how much we read the Gospels versus a more church-community-centric Pauline take on things. (Where the JW's fit in with that I really don't know.)
