First Conversation (3 mins.): Use the topic of ideas to discuss. Hand out a contact card from jw.org (th lec. 11).
PUBLISHER: Good morning, my name is (), Who do I like?
HOUSEHOLDER: With (), tell me, what is offered?
PUBLISHER: Nice to meet you (), this day we are talking with the neighbors asking them an interesting question, can I ask you?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sure, but please don't delay.
PUBLISHER: Don't worry, the question I want to ask you is, For what purpose did God create humanity? Have you ever asked yourself that question?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, actually, I've always wondered why we came into the world.
PUBLISHER: That's right, in fact, many of us have asked ourselves that same question, because it could be that Jehovah God created us, could it be that he had a purpose in mind?
HOUSEHOLDER: I think so, because if not, it wouldn't make sense.
PUBLISHER: Correct, everything has a purpose and generally a purpose is for the benefit of many people, what do you say, did God give us life to enjoy it or to condemn us for something?
HOUSEHOLDER: I think it was for us to enjoy it.
PUBLISHER: Exactly, when he created us, he made us to enjoy life and not to go through difficult events. May I read you a text from the Bible?
HOUSEHOLDER: Of course, of course.
PUBLISHER: Well, if you have a Bible, look at what it says in the first book of Genesis 1:28, it says… according to what you just read, For what purpose did God create mankind?
HOUSEHOLDER: So that they may be many and fill the Earth.
PUBLISHER: Exactly, by becoming many they would have to turn the Earth into a paradise, but unfortunately it was not like that, but as I told you at the beginning about a solution for all our problems, that's why we are sure that God will fulfill his purpose ?, Is it okay if another day you read what the Bible says?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sounds good to me, no problem.
PUBLISHER: In the meantime I would like to give you this contact card, here it directs you to a website, jw.org, to find more information about us and also answers common questions like the one we are exploring today through the Bible, for example, Why do we die?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, the truth is, he never asked me why.
PUBLISHER: Well, on that website you will find the answer, and you can also find publications based on the Bible, videos that cover various topics and information about who we are, here I give you the card.
HOUSEHOLDER: Thank you very much, when I have time I will review the site.
