I have to admit that I'm still very confused about that. If you don't know who you're addressing, than how do you know in advance which attitude to take?
I mean, I understand how one situation may call for compassion and another for discipline, but if you're trying to interest people in coming to church... how do you know which strategy they'll respond to best?
Cristofle Maybe this taps into the whole "saving people through fear" thing?
