Meh, I thought my first question was a good one, what with all the conditional assistance they like to trot out as "help". The second question was definitely better though.
Thing I've learned with the door to door types though, is that it's pointless to question their theology. They'll listen, they hear you, and they won't have any response whatsoever, but they just know that somehow you're wrong, and that if only you "looked again" you'd see the light. So I like to ask them about things that can be pointed to here in the real world (the crucifixion not being one of those things, as an example), such as the actions of christendom. Things for which they're likely to have serious discomfort considering. So much so that they expel their brothers in christ with the "not a true christian" bit. Well, I've heard that so many times now I'm pretty sure there aren't any true christians left, and this point is where our discussion usually ends (if it got that far).
