A. J. Jacobs, author of My Life as an Experiment, has written a book entitled The Year of Living Biblically - CLICKY - in which he describes his attempt to live for an entire year faithfully following the precepts of the Bible. I haven't read the book (probably absolutely fascinating!), and I may, just for kicks. But I have heard him on a couple of radio interviews.

He described to the interviewer how, during the time he was "researching" the Living Biblically book, a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses came to his door. He welcomed them in warmly (possibly to their surprise) and proceeded to join enthusiastically in the discussion. He engaged with them so enthusiastically, so eager was he to discuss various aspects of the Bible that, as he described it, within a half-hour, their eyes were darting around the room, desperately looking for an escape route!

Yeah, I think I'll read his book. Oughta be a real hoot!
