"The World Council of Churches in The Challenge of Proselytism and the Calling to Common Witness[16] states the following:

19. Proselytism as described in this document stands in opposition to all ecumenical effort. It includes certain activities which often aim at having people change their church affiliation and which we believe must be avoided, such as the following:

  • making unjust or uncharitable references to other churches' beliefs and practices and even ridiculing them;
  • comparing two Christian communities by emphasizing the achievements and ideals of one, and the weaknesses and practical problems of the other;
  • employing any kind of physical violence, moral compulsion and psychological pressure e.g. the use of certain advertising techniques in mass media that might bring undue pressure on readers/viewers;
  • using political, social and economic power as a means of winning new members for one’s own church;
  • extending explicit or implicit offers of education, health care or material inducements or using financial resources with the intent of making converts;
  • manipulative attitudes and practices that exploit people’s needs, weaknesses or lack of education especially in situations of distress, and fail to respect their freedom and human dignity."

Whatever. They aren't the Bible. Jesus commanded Christians to be witnesses of Him.

Richard Wurmbrand is the real deal. Tortured Christians who have God help them through the time is where, IMHO, one can see that God is a real help, not an imaginary help, for the one who trusts in Him.
LOLOLOL....I just came across this post and it reminded me, in a small way of the trolls on my threads.

Reminds me of noobs on ET who maybe are running a journal, and to prove the point on their winning system, cherry pick some charts here and there with squiggly lines.
