Violence Brings Someone In The Truth?

[Tcvancoops]

This is one of my favorite experiences I've heard:

A sister was married to an unbelieving husband. But he was allowing of her being a witness and going out in service. One day, she went to a door where the householder punched her in the eye for trying to offer him a watchtower. She later goes home and her husband immediately sees her injured eye. The sister refused to tell what happened to her. So the husband says, "if you don't tell me who did this to you, I promise you'll never see another meeting, another watchtower, or another Bible". Fearing losing her spiritual privileges from her own husband, she confessed to him what happened and who did it.

The husband went over to the man who hurt his wife. He pounded on the door, and when the man answered it he was immediately afraid. The husband was a very tall, very muscular former soldier. "A couple Jehovah's witnesses came to your house! Did you hit one of them?!" The man quietly nodded. "Well, that was my wife"! The man begged and pleaded for forgiveness. The husband pulled out a watchtower and showed it to the man. "This is what my wife was offering you. Read it! And the next time I come back you better answer correctly every question I ask you about it. If you don't, I will kill you".

The husband went home and asked his wife to teach him what the watchtower was saying. Some time later, the husband visited the man, and he answered every question the husband asked. So the husband pulled out a Bible Teach book. "I want you to read this now. This time, if you can answer correctly every question I ask the next time I come back not only will I kill you, but I will torture you before you die".

Well, it's safe to say the man survived the next visit. And the two men not only became witnesses, not only two of the best of friends, but also Bethalites!

This same experience was posted here some months ago:

The sister who posted it said a relative told her first-hand.

Well, it's really difficult to find a subject that hasn't already been discussed here.

 

But we have several hundreds of new members since that experience was posted, so it's new for many.

Not really. For some reason I remembered the experience happened in Mexico, but I found nothing searching for Mexico. No surprise, it actually was in Egypt. Then I searched for "police" since I remembered the husband was a retired policeman, and there it came.

Cheesecloth brain? That explains it.  I thought it was a new experience.  But that's me, I can rewatch a movie or read a book and it's all like new again.  Memory of a goldfish (though that's been proven to be false, yet still applicable to me).

 

So thanks again for the 2nd repetition

Not wanting to change the topic, but a "cheescloth" brain should be a good thing. 

It catches and retains all that matters.

 

PS. that's if it's the cheescloth used when making cheese...
