“All of them were published either by the Fellowship Tract League in Lebanon, Ohio, or by a local assembly in Batangas Province, Philippines. Such things happen quite frequently in the Philippines.”

Now tell me that they weren’t intended to seduce people away from the Church.

“Now tell me that they weren’t intended to seduce people away from the Church.”

Quite clever how you place the word “seduce” in there. Are you a Roman Catholic lawyer or something?

I was in Russia for two years, and a group of young people came to our door one evening distributing the very same titles, but in the Russian language. The Russian Orthodox priests, too, like to use words like “seduce” when non-RussOrth Christian people are working at personal evangelism in that country which in every aspect of life is influenced (often controlled) by the Russian Orthodox Church. Of course, the overwhelming majority of people who ever receive a Gospel tract in Russia have been raised in Russian Orthodox religion. So the much smaller number who aren't Russ-Orth, if they practice personal evangelism, are accused of proselytizing, or “seducing” people away from the church.

There was no planned activity at the Skyway Park (Philippines) to annoy any priest. Just a hand full of non-Catholic young people serving the Lord instead of bee-bopping, break-dancing, dulling their brain on rap, rock or drugs. There happened along a garbed man, identifiable as a RCC clergyman, who didn't like the fact that the young people offered tracts to a group of people also enjoying the park.
