Today, during my lunch break I was reading JI Packer's 'Evangelism & the Sovereignty of God'. One of the other employees asked if he could sit with me and I told him sure go a head.
Being polite I put the book down and he asked if he could look at the book.
After he had looked to see what the book was about and read a few pages. He said that the author made a mistake. This got my curiosity up so I asked him what the mistake was. He told me that the author failed to mention God's name.
Well, right away I knew that this person must be a Jehovah's Witness, so because I have had too many fruitless conversations like this in the past with JWs and because I didn't have much time left in my break, I decided that the best course of action to take was not to engage him in a conversation. I politely told him that I would rather not get into a debate about that point and although he confirmed my suspicion that he was a Jehovah's Witness, he changed the subject.

That conversation kind of made me wonder if I should have engaged him in a conversation on that particular subject. But to tell you the truth, at the moment I am not sure if what to say to him about that particular aspect that has some real meat to it.
I am not saying that I will talk to this person again about the subject, but in case I decide to in the future. I thought I had best be prepared to do so.

If anyone has any suggestions about this, I am very open.

Thanks

Tom
