Selous Scout doctrine and Christian mission work

Enjoy the article. The writer seems to be drawing comparison from the way the Rhodesian Selous Scouts operated in counter-insurgency warfare and the lessons that could be applied to the way Christian mission would be relevant. Interesting,if somewhat hilarious IMO. A new convert can easily be destroyed using rational arguments in a calm way with a quiet voice. Just poke the holes and watch the goddamn balloon burst. Besides, its a way to save the souls of these poor converts :lol:

reading 'the cross and the switchblade' the preacher there found conversion without follow-up didn't produce lasting results.

the teenagers needed to be isolated from their old habits for a while until the brainwashing took effect.
