I looked a little taken aback, because what he said was odd "which one of these guys is going to save this world of ours?" or something like that. My guess is he was looking for an opportunity to "witness" - he then asked if I was "born again" or something, so I was pausing to debate how to answer that...and it all went downhill from there. ;-) Oh, he was making small talk - asked if we were from Chatham, and when he found out I was from Detroit, asked about the Presidential election.

The fine folks in my old evangelical church would do the same thing. They would start out with one objection, and once answered, they would move onto their next one (without acknowledging the answer already given). How in the world did this earnest Pentecostal determine that you were Catholic? I mean, do Pentecostal ice cream peddlers typically ask the religious preference of each customer? Or, were you wearing something distinctively Catholic? Clam, the buckshot approach isn’t limited to JWs. The fine folks in my old evangelical church would do the same thing.

Nothing succeeds like an absolute bloody misunderstanding, to misquote a classic. I should mention he was raised Catholic.
