My son once invited the JH in and argued with them for hours! grin

Interesting question. I'd imagine though there are multiple contradictions in what the Bible says and what people do. I was always told it wasn't a good idea to disagree with the travelling Jehovas Witnesses, the door knocking ones, as whatever you said, they would product a Biblical quote to counter it. No win situation!

"When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you."

Why don't Christians do this? Do they think that they know better?
