    Ah, yes, the puppy pack. (all bark and no bite, but annoyingly loud enough to be disruptive). :Biggrin

    The "puppy pack" that right there is funny. I don't care who you are. That is just funny.

    Yes to the first and yes to the second. We found at least one person that wanted to go beyond the gospel tract. Sadly most did not and even one person flipped off and cussed us out. However no one torched any tracts in front of us this year.

    Would you provide us an example of a 'sinner's prayer', so we know what exactly you are talking about?

    Then it was worth it (that one person wanted to go beyond the tract). How do you get your tracts (do you purchase them or does your church)?

    That is the key, Jerome. We could be dealing with entirely different ideas of the "sinners prayer". I'd add, not only an example of the prayer but how the prayer is used (e.g., "if you prayed this then you are saved" vs. "if you prayed this prayer then we have people up front to talk to you").

    I think the complaint is that you only see (or at least treat) "these brothers" as brothers.

    A leash should do the trick.

    Avoid his tracts. Get the ones I have mentioned.

    Besides how effective would JOJ's tracts be on the people that I witnessed too on Saturday? You need to buy tracts targeted at them.

    Why would they be less effective than the ones you used?

    This thread is about the sinners prayer - why are we talking about tracts?
