HOW INSIGHT HELPS US TO BE MILD -Conclusion

 When confronted by someone who has strong views, we should not quickly assume that we know what he believes. (Titus 3:2) For example what if your schoolmate says that is ridiculous to believe in God? Should you assume that he strongly believes in evolution and knows a lot about it? Actually, he may not have given the subject much thought. Instead of starting a debate about science, you can find a way to give your schoolmate something to think about later. Perhaps you could direct hi to material about creation found on jw.org. He might later be willing to discuss an article or video found there. Yes, a respectful response may move him to reconsider his view.

A teenager named Niall used our website to overcome some misconceptions about Jehovah's Witnesses. He says, "I was often told by a classmate that I do not believe in science because I trust a 'made-up book rather than the facts." When this classmate did not allow Niall to explain his beliefs, he directed the classmate to the jw.org section "Science and the Bible." Later, Niall discerned that the student has likely read the material and was more willing to discuss the origin of life. You might  have a similar result.
