  1. This is really quite good. One of the more tactless Christian witnessing slogans I’ve come across is:

    ” Read the Bible – it’ll scare the Hell out of you”

  2. I once got asked to approve the tracts that are available at the back of our church (I have doubts about their effectiveness too, but the congregation want them there!). One of the choices that was going to be ordered was a tract called something like ‘Ten reasons why I can’t go to church on Sunday’ and basically made fun of people who don’t go to church. I pointed out that I were someone thinking about coming back to church and I picked one of those up, I certainly wouldn’t go to that particular church! People saw my point and the tracts weren’t ordered. We can get so stuck in our own perspective sometime that it’s hard to see outside of it! (And the Christian habit of complaining about ‘The World’ drives me nuts anyway.)

  3. Thanks, Iconoclast and Pam.

    I would also, despite their widespread availablity, avoid any tracts which quote KJV, except for use with very particular audiences. Anything with obsolete language in it confirms all the worst prejudices of most unchurched readers.
