This month's prize for worst evangelism technique goes to the bumbling but persistent Taliban.
The South Korean Christians held hostage by the Taliban in Afghanistan for six weeks this summer were offered an irresistible deal-- convert or die.
Despite having had years to work on their presentation technique after losing control of Afghanistan, the Taliban are still stuck in a rut, even when they try to use newer methods-- like video.
"The most difficult moment, when I had a big fear of death, was when the Taliban shot [a] video," said Yu Jung-hwa, a member of the group. "All 23 of us leaned against a wall and armed Taliban aimed their guns at us, and a pit was before me."Another former hostage said they were beaten many times, sometimes with tree branches, or just kicked around . "They pointed a rifle and bayonet at me and tried to force me to convert."
"They said they will save us if we believe in Islam. I almost fainted at the time and I still cannot look at cameras."
Well, who could resist that? Maybe the Taliban didn't smile enough. Maybe if they'd offered everyone the World's Biggest Ice Cream Sundae. Maybe if they'd used a bigger tree branch. ...
