Crop Farming
| Crop Farming I came upon an interesting article about crop farming for a different crop.10 Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary students, professors and their spouses were in Uruguay March 10th to 18th trying to harvest a crop of people to join their church. It is quite interesting how they view the Uruguayan as stated in this article “Uruguayans are an aggressively unchurched, secular people, ” I wonder how many souls they harvested during this period of time with that attitude about the people. |
| This is an interesting quote from the article: -- One of the group’s guides around Pocitos was a believer. He told them that it was difficult to hand out “religious literature” in the apartment buildings because guards controlled access to those residences. -- Most of the apartments in Pocitos have door men. They are hardly guards as the people who come to the apartments don't come barging in, but rather buzz your apartment first. That includes delivery people. They always buzz and wait, they never sneak in the building when someone else goes in. It may be difficult to hand out the literature because the people don't answer the buzzes... not because of the "guards". |
| are you serious? people are seriouly trying to harvest people to join the church, I mean i myself am a church going person but this is just insane. |
| Kasi, you took the words out of my mind, but that was good stuff because you did it before I could even think it. Harvesting someone for church is a strange awakening. There is just no other way for me to describe it at this time. |

"Harvesting" a crop usually involves cutting things off at the base and removing the grains/beans etc from the remaining plant matter for purposes of providing a profit for the farmer. It seems to me to be an ill-chosen analogy for missionary work :-) |
| "Harvest a crop of people ?"
In front of my Subdivision in the South USA is a visible sign that says "No Soliciting" and we're very happy with that. If we need something we know how and were to find it.That is one of the problems in the USA, when people are trying to force others into their own beliefs and if you don't accept it, your are an outlaw. Their records are not that good for most of them and the differences between what they preach and how they live is not equal. I remember this Little (one room) Church in Piedras Blancas MVD , Birds flying around and poor people in deep praying with a non well dressed Priest and that day I felt somebodies presence. |
| "If a Spiritual belief is sold, is the buyer Harvested? "
Is it possible they came here hoping to duplicate the Missionary work the Mormans do here in order to increase their 'Flock', with just a 'Sales Pitch'? I like the Piedras Blancas analogy. There's another one in the top of the hill at Piriapolis, in the little Chapel there. Thousands come to pray in a simple direct way. There is always a sense of Spirituality around something simple and heart felt like that, kind of like going out just about anywhere in Nature and feeling immersed in it, one with it. If a Church think they can 'Harvest' people they are sadly mistaken. If they feel that they can 'sell' their view of the Creator, they're totally lost, and miss the point of even their own philosophy. Lucky the Uruguayans are way too smart for that. (o: |
