She told us about a Witness who started a conversation that way, read some scriptures and, although not let into the building, the person agreed to a return visit. The same thing happened the second time. The conversation was fine but no admittance granted. A Bible study via the intercom was started. Eventually most chapters in the book were covered, but the person, responsive as he was, steadfastly declined to admit the person inside.
One day the Witness went with the Circuit Overseer. He explained to the man that after studying as long as he did, he really ought to be attending meetings with those who believed as he now did. He encouraged the man to let them in promising, "We will not judge you about anything at all. But we should meet and discuss arrangements for you to attend meetings." Finally the buzzer sounded and they went in.
To their surprise they met two men in the apartment, Siamese twins joined at the hip. One was now a believer; the other not a bit interested, even disgruntled about it. Even so, arrangements were successfully negotiated so the interested one (with the reluctant cooperation of his twin of course) could come to meetings.
How a baptism was worked out was not mentioned.
Well, that's different, huh?
In keeping with the general direction of this dog blog, I share with you a link sent to me about a very helpful dog indeed.
