[i]"I was in the waiting room and my daughter was having surgery for four hours. SP's staff shared the Gospel with me. That's when I heard about Jesus Christ. I received Jesus Christ as my savior on the day my daughter had surgery in the Cayman Islands. ... I know that Jesus healed my daughter's heart." [/i]

“Shared the gospel with me” tells us nothing.

Did the evil missionaries, after kidnapping mom and flying her and her sick kid to the Cayman Islands, tell her on the day of the surgery, “OK, now you have to accept Jesus or we won’t go through with it!”

Or did mom, after having spent days or weeks with the missionaries, first in Mongolia, then on the plane, and finally in the Cayman Islands, realize that they meant everything they said about helping her kid, that their kindness was unimaginable to her, and [b]so she asked them about their religion.[/b]

You don’t know. Stop wasting our time with vague insinuations. [/quote]

You think the Mongolian mom from the earlier video asked the host family about their religion? They didn't bring it up as part of "sharing the Gospel in both word and deed"? What if they did bring it up? Would that be ethical in that scenario?

And what about this Mongolian mom. They "shared the Gospel" with her in the waiting room. She says that is when they told her about Jesus Christ and accepting Jesus Christ. Was that ethical in that scenario? And it's not vague at all - she very clearly tells us what happened.

[b]Already answered, why are you asking again?[/b]

All that we know about what “happened” is that they “shared.”  We don’t know anything about who initiated the sharing (mom or missionaries?) or what it looked like (“convert or your kid dies” vs. “what does that hold symbol around your neck mean” or “why are you helping us?” … “we’re helping because that’s what Jesus would do”). The answers to these questions make ALL THE DIFFERENCE, but we simply don’t know.

Sick of speculating with a spoiled DCUMer about who said what in a Mongolian yurt or doctor’s office. Sick of pushing back against your racism about people in developing countries being too dumb to make their own choices and therefore we need to ban the help they need.  Enjoy all that wine. Bye.[/quote]

You never answered if you thought it was ethical or not.

It’s really not a hard question.

Is it ethical for missionaries to verbally try to persuade people to “invite Jesus into their lives” - with words not just deeds or props - during vulnerable moments of the people they are helping? To verbally proselytize during service work?
