It sounds like rest home resident abuse. What if they were Jews or Hindi or Jedi? Forcing some other religion on them is abuse.

I'd like to think the Jedi would put up a fight or use the Force or something.
Personally, I'd be worried about inviting them because of the danger of their cheap lightsabers poking the other congregants.

Why would she get to that bit? Isn't that the good news of her ministry -- which presumably she is still a part of? Not to be facetious, but just wondering if what she's doing is "preaching the gospel" of delivering sermons for the comfort of the congregation. What matt10 suggested is not for her to say that is Gods, hers is to just plainly tell the good news which is about Gods word and His Son. This is nothing to do with telling the good news [Wait ‘til she gets to the bit about “if you do not profess through a worker like me before you die you will go to hell” followed by a few versus of “time is flying fast and the die will soon be cast and the fatal line be passed”. Matt10] To me it is plainly stirring.

Wait ‘til she gets to the bit about “if you do not profess through a worker like me before you die you will go to hell” followed by a few versus of “time is flying fast and the die will soon be cast and the fatal line be passed”. Matt10 Why would she get to that bit? Because that is the message which workers preach. I never met a worker who preached a different message. Mission. Convention. Funeral. The message was always consistent, albeit with varying degrees of subtlety. Matt10

Without this, Christians would have stayed an obscure sect before dying out. Periods of "revival" like the Great Awakening have been characterized by the fire and brimstone preaching. Many of these sermons like "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" are considered the greatest preaching ever. The workers are no different than anyone else. When they are about to test a meeting, most of the preaching will be trying to frighten people with Jesus' threats of hell and eternal torment of sinners by the Lamb. Everyone who has attended a mission knows that. And it works.

[ “if you do not profess through a worker like me before you die you will go to hell”] to me that's a load of old poppycock.

Everyone who has attended a mission knows that. And it works. They weren't threats, they are a reality. All depends on which Christians you are talking about? For myself it is not because any perceived threat but for the love of. I wonder is that a new concept for you? Well I hear for love of Christ is why we make our choice. So you must be on one of those other planets that get spoken of from time to time on here.

I always thought one of the rules was the Gospel had to be preached 2x2. I guess because there is a shortage of Workers, then 1x1 is OK.
