The sister waved a banner reading the verse John 12:25 from the Bible which says, "He who loves his life will lose it." The brother waving a similar yellow flag shouted at the crowd of students who had gathered to listen, that Jesus is the way for them to leave their empty lives.
Christians and non-believers alike came out to defend their Christian lifestyle or to debate the theories the demonstrators were giving. As one student came up to ask an argumentative question, the brother completely ignored her. The student had printed off research about them and wanted to question their funding issues. After trying to get the siblings' attention a couple of times, she walked off with a frustrated yell to them.
"That's why we don't answer questions," said Joshua Woroniecki. He explained that he and his sister Elizabeth travel full-time to college campuses to share their message.
"We're just trying to tell people to get away, pick up a new testament and really start to seek the living Jesus," said Joshua.
"We're here for the one person," said Elizabeth. She continued by quoting a scripture with Jesus saying, "He who has ears, let them hear."
Joshua said they appear on college campuses because there are a lot of people. He said downtowns have disappeared and this is one of the only places where there are masses of people. Elizabeth also said that people are at a vulnerable age.
People continued to flock in to ask questions to the Woroniecki's. One person questioned why they felt they had to be so extreme and preach hell-fire and brimstone.
"This isn't even close to extreme," said Joshua. "A man was raised from the dead. This is adequate."
When asked if they get along with the other Christians on campus, Joshua replied that they don't.
"Not at all," he said with emphasis. He said there are some hypocrites that just say they believe in Jesus with their mouths and not their lives. He said Christians can't serve two masters and college is training to serve the world.

God's warriors? Seems to me that this terrible twosome were more interested in spouting off their own crazy interpretation of Christianity rather than preaching true gospel. (Continued…)
