Unbiblical Beliefs
1. You can begin by saying, "Hi! I'm [your name] are you familiar with the
Watchtower organization's teaching? What do they believe about Jesus Christ?"
2. You can also begin by asking, "How long have you been a Jehovah's Witness?"
1. Set a time and place for meeting so that no one could distract all four of you. This
compose the two "pioneers" J.W., including one Christian to pray and intercede
while the other shares the gospel.
2. Invite the J.W. in an opening prayer before the discussion by addressing God as
"Jehovah," and pray an evangelistic kind of prayer if opportunity calls. Ask the
Holy Spirit of God to open the J.W.'s heart and so be receptive to the gospel of
Christ.
3. When sharing truths with them, avoid saying "Your belief about Jesus is not base
on the Bible" rather say ,"The Watchtower Governing Body's interpretation about
Jesus is not base on the Bible." Pointing to the "organization" and not to him as a
person to avoid offending him directly.
4. Be very careful not to say, "I am going to prove to you that Jesus is Jehovah"
because you have only made it difficult for him to understand. It is as if you are
saying, "I am going to prove to you that Jesus is the Father." Rather you can say,
"Lets check the real identity of the Lord Jesus Christ."
5. Most of the time they will try to answer back your questions and get you
sidetracked you with many peripheral issues. Be sure that you remain in your
proper course of discussion.
6. Try to challenge the J.W. individual to research if what you are saying about the
Governing Body and J.W. teachings are true or not. Offer him your help in
searching out for the truth.
7. Before parting, offer to pray evangelistically for them by addressing God as
"Jehovah" and leave some J.W. witnessing materials for them to read. (You can
ask for these from The Bereans: A.R.M.)
8. You cannot win a J.W. in just one sitting but requires a long period of time,
sometimes years.
9. But all we can do is to plant the seed, then someone will water and God will cause
it to grow (cf. 1 Cor. 3:6).
1. Pray and ask the Lord's guidance that you will not rely on your own knowledge
and capacity but rather in the power of the Holy Spirit.
2. Use only acknowledged J.W. literatures preferably King James Version, New
World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT), The Kingdom Interlinear
Translation of the Greek Scriptures (KIT), and The Emphatic Diaglott. As one
Christian apologist said, "That their words may be used against them."
3. Bring the necessary materials and remember the Bible texts so there will be no
idle time in-between. This will not also allow him to focus on some other things.
4. Address him/her by his first name to make your relationship more personal.
5. Sit on an area where he could not be distracted by passers-by and eye-catching
scenes. As much as possible, allow them to read the Scripture passages or
quotations by themselves for them to store it in their minds.
6. Speak with authority, love and compassion.
