Jehovahs Witnesses.

@DeWayfarer What a great favor they did him.

@LadyGrace not really. He only got three ministers to drop them. :(

@DeWayfarer Then I'm not understanding something. The way you talked I thought you meant that he did not want them coming to visit him or to his door.

@LadyGrace No he didn't try to convert them. He pain stakingly showed them where JW were wrong!

After three successful attempts the church itself banned any further visits by any Jehovah witness members.

@DeWayfarer no I didn't think that he did try to convert them. I'm just puzzled why you said that wasn't good that they banned him. I agree with your father.

@LadyGrace He wanted to show even more where JW was wrong. In his view, that only proved just how wrong they were.

@DeWayfarer Oh, I see. Well I think he did enough and I'll tell you why. If he had not struck a chord to make them think about what they were teaching, they must have been convicted or they would not have banned him. So he did accomplish what he set out to do.

@LadyGrace you mean "convinced" I believe.

I believe you don't know the full story! My father once was friends with both Rev. Robert Schuller and Rev Liestma long before "hour of power" or the tower of hope! He wasn't ordained, yet did have lengthy discussions with Reverend Schuller. Eventually he distanced himself from Schuller. That was in the mid 60's when the tower of hope was built. So did Reverend Liestma who started a small church in the city of Orange.

Now what does all that have to do with this? He wanted to reach even more. Not for being note Worthy like others. Rather to do as much as possible. Hence his disappointment.

@DeWayfarer No. I meant convicted by God in their heart that they were wrong.

And you're right. I never heard the full story. Thanks for explaining. You're father sounds like a great man.
