Praying Preachers Ground Flight
Thu May 27, 2:39 PM ET
 
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two preachers grounded a flight leaving Buffalo, New York, after they frightened passengers by declaring the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were a good reason to pray, officials said on Thursday.

One preacher told fellow passengers as the Continental Airlines plane taxied down the runway, "Your last breath on earth is the first one in heaven as long as you are born again and have Jesus in your heart," according to FBI (news - web sites) spokesman Paul Moskal.

Passengers on the Wednesday flight to Newark, New Jersey told a flight attendant, who alerted the plane's captain, officials said. The captain turned the plane around.

"They were sincere in their beliefs and were not malicious," Moskal said by telephone from Buffalo. "In the context of 9/11 it may not have been the best way to promote their religion."

The two Pentecostal ministers, Canadian nationals Yohan Heenatigala and Komal Singh, were questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and later released and put on another flight, the spokesman said. They were traveling to attend a convention in Baltimore, Maryland.

Witnessing tip:  Don't spook strangers.

...yeah, and if you're sitting toward the back of the plane & you see your old friend Jack sitting up front, walk up & greet him quietly.  Yelling "Hi, Jack!" in a crowded plane is a really bad idea!!!

Aim at heaven you will get earth "thrown in", aim at earth and you get neither.
author by C.S. Lewis

Thomas Aquinas, who knew a great deal about education and a bit about motivation, once said that when you want to convert a person to your view , you go over to where he is standing, take him by the hand, and guide him.  You don't stand across the room and shout at him. You don't order him to come over where you are. You start where he is and work from that position.  He said that's the only way to get people to budge.

In a cartoon , a crusader is riding a horse and carrying a shield with a cross on it.  He is thrusting a spear down on the throat of this guy on the ground who's saying: "Tell me more about this Christianity. I'm terribly interested."
