They'd knock on his door and ask him if they could come in and talk to him about Jesus. He said sure, but upon one condition. He told them he'd let them talk about their religious beliefs in their way for 30-minutes without him interrupting them. Then, for the next 30-minutes, he'd talk to the about his religious beliefs in his way.

When they asked him what his way is he told them they sit around in a circle while he explained his beliefs.

Funny, but they didn't take him up on his offer and they never came back.
