Use It on Every Occasion
1. The Know the Truth tract is useful for doing what?
1 The tract Would You Like to Know the Truth? has been designed to help us start Bible studies. But it is also an effective tool that we can use to scatter seeds of truth. (Eccl. 11:6) Here are some suggestions to help us make good use of it.
2. How could we use the tract to start a conversation?
2 To Start a Conversation: You might hand the tract to the householder, point to the six questions on the cover, and ask: “Which of these questions have you wondered about?” After getting his reply, consider from the tract the Bible’s answer to one of the householder’s questions and read one of the cited scriptures. Read or summarize the back page, and offer the Bible Teach book. Even if he does not accept the book, he has received the tract, which may enable the truth to take root in his heart.—Matt. 13:23.
3. If a householder is busy, what might we do?
3 If the Householder Is Busy: You might say: “Since this is an inconvenient time, let me leave you this tract. It lists six basic questions that most of us have asked and gives a direct answer to each one from the Bible. When I see you again, let me know what you think.”
4. What could we say when offering the tract in street work?
4 When Doing Street Work: You could say: “Hello. Have you ever asked any of these questions?
