Thank you. I was a JW almost 40 years. Then after I left I was agnostic, then new age and the like. I've now been a Christian 3 1/2 years. Praise God! Your videos and Mike Wingers have helped me so much as I "unlearn" some of the brainwashing. It's wonderful to now finally learn and embrace true biblical Christianity. Thank you very much! You are right, before I left the JWs little pebbles were put in my shoe by Christians. ☺️ I NEVER would have listened to anything else. But, those pebbles slowly caused questions and doubt. Just a very tiny bit. And then the Holy Spirit did His work on me. I never would have or could have done it on my own. God is SO good. To Him be the glory for what He has done for me. 🙌❣️

My mom was saved because of Jehovah’s Witnesses also. They got her reading her Bible and the Holy Spirit showed her truth. She was so excited to share with them how Jesus saved her. They didn’t want anything to do with her after that.

I am literally JUST leaving the park from talking to a JW,and this is the first video that pops up when I open KZfaq. God knows.... this is what I am always wondering because they seem like such wonderful but misguided people, and it breaks my heart to see.

Ty for this video. I am 15 years old and have neighbors who are JWs. Because they live so close to me, I often feel anxious; I feel that it’s my duty to reach out to them with the gospel. Please pray for them and for me. Keep living for Jesus!

You Melissa are a Godsent and so on point about them, I was a born in , 3rd generation. Finally free at 65 and now have a real relationship with our Lord and Savior. Can’t get through to my family but I will always keep,trying. Thankyou so much and God bless you.😊👍

As an ex-JW and an ex-new ager, I appreciate your approach of seeking to understand folks. I like the way you help people really think about their beliefs.

About 6 weeks ago, they knocked on my door. We talked on the porch for about 15 minutes. They were delighted to know I am a Jew. They came back the next week. I pulled out my copy of the Hebrew Scriptures and Christian Greek Scriptures. Lol. They left in a hurry.. lol. And never came back.

I was a JW for 12 years, but am now a Christian. All we can do is show them love and plant little seeds. I ran into several Christians when I did door to door work and they planted tiny seeds in my mind, not pushing too hard, but eventually the Holy Spirit made the seeds grow and I began to question everything.

Thank you Melissa for this video…my late wife and I were 2nd generational JWs before we found the real Truth about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (God be given the thanks for Romans the eighth chapter to make us ask questions about our relationship of who we actually were with our Salvation) rejecting the so called “truth” of the Watchtower Bible And Tract Society we were raised in (a strong shout out to Raymond Franz …a personal friend) and his book ‘Crises Of Conscience’ which exposes the inner workings of “the governing body of JWs from when he was a member of the same)…it’s a must read…sadly (or blessedly) he and his wife Cynthia have both “shed this mortal coil” moving up for God’s Eternal Rewards🙏🙏🙏…please keep up your outreach videos to the lost…we never know when the next doorbell “ring” will open the door to the blessing of sharing the Gospel and lifesaving message of redemption of the Risen Christ…I know it’s been true for me 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻…you and your ministry will continue to be in my prayers…your outreach has been a Renaissance for me!

I really needed this, as a Christian, with a very good friend who is a JW, so much information I did not know, Thank you both so much!!!

Great Job with the accuracy of their belief system. I never became a baptized JW. But, I learned the teachings from a young person till older adult. I left when I developed the mind & courage to know something was just not correct with the organization. They have a great zeal for their teaching’s & probably mean well. I must admit their Armageddon teachings & great tribulation is still a terror in my thoughts! I am thankful today I have relationship with Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ whom died for All my sins & the sins of All mankind 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I’m a JW that is trapped in this cult. Reaching them by talking about their doctrine is almost impossible, it will just make them think they are being persecuted and they will dig their heals in deeper. No one woke me up from the indoctrination, I did it myself because of something that happened to me in the JW religion that questioned my core values (I was forced to shun my son and I wouldn’t do it). Although I admire your passion to help them, they can only help themselves. My suggestion, show them love and pray for them.

Flood of memories from when I was a child. My parents were JW up until I was 13. My dad was an elder. He got disfellowshipped and I was secretly very happy about that. I had a lot of work to do around the thoughts that were planted in my head as a kid. It was a lot of trauma.

Very interesting facts and just scratching the surface really. I left in 2018 by force and by choice. This was the best choice I have ever made for my faith. I am now a true Christian and really getting to know Christ. Keep up the good work!

I’m not a Jehovah’s Witness, but I also know that Christmas and Easter is nothing to do with Christianity, as with everything that has been polluted over the millennia, the fact that we like something and we love something and we have grown up with something doesn’t mean that that something is correct

I remember YEARS ago I went thru a really low place mentally and emotionally. I asked God to come into my life. A few days later a JW came to my door and I was like “THIS IS GODanwsering my prayer”. He didn’t speak to me long because he didn’t have his wife but he said he’d come back the next day with his wife and talk to me more. Luckily I told my dad about this encounter and he was able to steer me clear! I’m now a born again Christian. I gave my life to Christ just a few months ago. I’m still learning. So these videos really help me💕

Very good job explaining jws I was one for 60years was an elder for 6 years woke up about 7 years ago 😳

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe mainstream Christianity of today maybe incorrect? Keep reading the bible and praying. Its growing in it. God cannot be put into a box.

Thank you for the video, I’m an ex jw and now a Christian. This video been very helpful

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” King James Version (KJV)

Melissa I have been married to a ex Jehovah’s Witness. Was raised as a child in the religion up until he was 13. He has come along way but man every time I think he gets it, he says something that makes me realize he’s still brainwashed

Before 2009, l was at a laundromat, and they had some watchtowers on a table for your reading pleasure. Big mistake on my part. On the back side of one was something to fill out if you wanted a free book in the mail. I filled it out, and mailed it. A couple weeks went by and when l came home one hot summer day from grocery shopping, there was a JW in my driveway. Talking to me for over a half an hour. (Had cold meats that needed to get into my fridge) She took out her Bible and started reading. After all that, I finally excepted to a free Bible study in my home. Again big mistake. My mother was soooo against them and the religion. I asked her to just sit in on one study. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought she would get baptized in 2011. We have discussions here and there and she Always tells me, I’M WRONG. Can someone please tell me how to get my poor mom out of this? My husband says just leave it alone, but l can’t. I’m desperate to get her out of all the brainwashing. 😢 I ask this in Jesus’s name that someone can help me.

Thank you. I didn't know GotQuestions had a podcast. Another podcast to add to my list.

This young lady has really studied and mastered the tangled web of JW theology. I say this as a former member who figured this out by my mid-twenties, left and is totally shunned by all family members and friends. It is truly an evil and destructive cult.

Sharing the Gospel with a Jehovah’s Witness by Tony Brown is very helpful and solid resource. He was a former JW

I've been following Gotquestions for nearly 20 years. The Ministry has been a great stronghold, helping me to understand the Word of God fruitfully.

I once had a JW sputtering incoherently on my couch.... I had started with several verses in Isaiah where Jehovah declared that He is the first and the last, and it's mathematically impossible for there to be more than one of each. A few more verses thrown in to really nail down the concept. The fun really begins in Revelation 22:3-4, 22:12-13, and 22:16 for the coup de grace. This JW on my couch was totally tripped up by 22:3-4, and I quote: "The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city and HIS servants will serve him. They will see HIS face and HIS name will be on their foreheads." God and the Lamb (plural), HIS servants, HIS face, HIS name (singular). I thought her head was going to explode.... She never came back. Hopefully that was a major stone in her shoe. I got the list of verses to use (and in what order) from a Walter Martin presentation. I'll list the references here, in the order they should be used: Isaiah 44:6, Isaiah 48:12, Deut. 10:17. Then Matthew 4:10, Revelation 1:8, 11:15, 17:14, 21:5-6, then the ones listed above.

Yay! So excited for this. Had a very discouraging conversation with a JW last week and wasn’t entirely sure how to address him when he was taking scripture out of context. Thank you for your resources :)

What an amazing sister. Your spirit is glowing. Thank you so much for your intelligence and wisdom. I'm so happy God is using you in such a huge way

A few years ago, as expected, a couple of JWs knocked on my front door. They stayed at the door and we exchanged pleasantries. When they started their spiel, I said "Are you guys Christian?" "Yes" Then "Do you guys go to a church?" "Yes". I said "That's wonderful, I do too!" (happy smiles) They said "We're just telling the good news of the kingdom and......" Me (cutting in) "So if we are both Christians....(pause)...then I better let you guys go so you can knock on some more doors before it gets too late". ".....Would you like to hear about the Kingdom of God and ....?" Me: "I'm a Christian already so I already know about that stuff" "....but...but...The good news says....." (cut them off) Me: "Wait..!, are you guys trying to get me to leave my church and come to your church? Is that what you are doing?" (Don't let them take another breath before) Me: "Why would you try to evangelize Christians by pulling them from worshipping God at their church to come to your Church?" "....Uhhh...We're not doing that, we just want to spread the good news that...." "Okay, if you're not trying to convert Christians and make them come to your Church, then it's all good and you probably shouldn't be wasting time here. You have other doors to be knocking on." (slowly closing the door) ".....here take this literature...." Me: No thanks, I'll pass. God bless, Goodbye" (smiles) For the record, I don't give them the time of day anymore. They are deluded, hard headed, under a strict brain washing and any rebuttal gets ignored when they pull out their translation. Know that their translation is a corrupt translation created (and revised) by the WatchTower society. I still have a copy. I've debated them since the early 80's, had close JW friends and even attended their Sabbath teachings out of mutual respect. I'm sure they were shocked when I raised my hands to God during worship service (out of a hymnal). They teach on a whiteboard and tell YOU what the Word says, even if you see it or explain it otherwise. They will gang up on you on Sabbaths (with kindness) and try to logically force an explaination how what they are teaching is God's word. Know that normally, Anyone who is NOT a JW is not allowed into their Sabbath teachings freely. They do not allow that unless you are a new convert. I knew and worked with a couple families there so I could attend without issue. Bottom line: It's good to know how to deal with them and pray for their enlightenment. But to debate every nuance and pivot point with them, in discussion, should be left to solid mature christians.

Hi Melissa, I'm no longer a Christian but in 2020 your videos were instrumental in my waking up from the JW religion. You taught me how to fact-check the quotes and sources they use in their publications, and I'll be forever grateful. Thank you.

She broke it down soooo well! So glad I escaped ❤

Thanks for this video. I just met a Jehovah's Witness a couple of days ago. I will see him regularly over the next several weeks, as we are taking a class together. This gives me some good food for thought and encourages/challenges me to begin diligently praying about interacting with him.

Recently a woman rang my door. She was trying to interest me in solar panels. I am unsure how but we talked about faith. She said she grew up in a family that were Jehovah Witnesses but she said she was no longer a JW. I gave her a copy of a book I wrote on the end times. We seemed to have a good discussion. The next day a Jehovah's Witness stopped at my home and rang my doorbell. One thing I did with both people was to be interested in them. Sometimes Christians are visited by JWs and treat them like dirt and chase them away. But I was just kindly and human. In the past I have brought up John 1:1 that reads The Word "was a god." I tell them that the original Greek has no article. It does not say was the god or was a god, but was God. But I also have learned that if they can see I am strong in my faith, then they go away. So you cannot talk with or reason for or against their theology. They just go away and that is the end. Once on a good Friday I was invited to the Lord's supper only to learn that you cannot take of communion. There was a JW who was an artist and owned an Art store. This was out in the mountains. When I drove down there I would stop by and sometimes to buy supplies and we shared. But when they see you are not an easy fish to catch or you are challenging them, they go away and that is the end.

Their main focus is never on Jesus even if they say they believe in him, to them Jesus is just a person who died for them but they never really talk about him

This was great Melissa! I just started working with two of them! Very friendly guys. Building a relationship with one of them. Praying for it to be fruitful and for him to receive the truth.

Thank you so much for your content. I have used yours and Mike Winger information on JW's. I have yet to see one come to truth, but I have been able to put a stone in the shoe. I've also been able to share what I've learn to other believers to prepare them in case of a meeting with them. GOD bless

Thank you for the explination. May God free these mislead people in JW.

This is so true. You have to understand where they are coming from before you can help them.

This was a great synopsis. Thank you!

When i studied the bible with a pastor every thursday night for a year, i wanted to know the truth of god. Then he said im now a "christian". That was the first sign that something was wrong.

This is also something we don't need to forget there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ

my neighbor ( a block away), was a JW. One day....I asked him: " how many Jesus' are there? " He laughed and said..."Just one". I rep lied : "Are you sure?" That was the extent of the first conversation. However, I would ask him that question or "if there is more than one, by definition, which one is the right one ?" . I did this once a week for 5 years . did get him to acknowledge that there are many different definitions across the landscape. Then.....on a day, he said : " ok, I want to know the real Jesus, not a counterfeit." . That day he came to a saving faith in Christ. and confessed Jesus is indeed God .

I had the pleasure of speaking with two Jehovah Witnesses today (both women) and the exchange was interesting to say the least! I questioned their Jesus Christ is Archangel Michael doctrine and the runaround was evident but I didn’t give up by the grace of God. Like you said Melissa we plant the seed and Holy Spirit does the rest ❤️

I agree with melissa about satans disgust for the cross and that character leaking out in the jw doctrine . Also the blood transfusions if you think about what denying blood to save your life means not only in the secular world but in the spiritual world.

Jehovah Witness, Mormon, Catholics, and many Christian denominations have a lot wrong when it comes to scripture and it's context!

It was nice to see you with the Got Questions community.

Thanks for sharing Melissa

Thank you so much for sharing 🌸🤍🕊️

Thanks for continuing to share this info!

We need a good reference sheet to carry with us... just bullet points. This is great information. Thank you so much!

Considering the fact that many JWs were once members of the confused churches, what 'new' thing can anyone teach them. They would already know what they once blindly believed. The truth set them free. This video is similar to the the Pharisees discussing among themselves on how to reach Jesus with the truth. Mind blowing.

It's very much a numbers game with them. First time I went to dinner with the lady I was studying with. Her husband was going over the numbers of how many people had come to the Hall for meetings.

I've felt led to show love and hospitality to the several J.W's and Mormons coming to my door over the last several months. We're discussing their beliefs and comparing them with mine, as a Christian. I've been very curious based on all of those things one hears. Encountering now the first differences we've come to and looking for advice, so thank you for this video. The latest question is regarding their belief that everyone will be judged and end up in Paradise on Earth at the end times. No one will be turned away, but there will be a 'waiting place' for those who have been unbelievers. How should I approach this and what scriptures would you use? They're coming by tomorrow (every Friday).Thank you so much for helping me to prepare for the visits.

Thank you for this quick overview!

Thank you for this ..i have mental anguish i guess you call it because of the religion do much that i left and went wild ..believing i was lost for good kept on a bad path..but i found myself getting baptized at a baptist church in 2009...but several years later i messed up again ..because i fully didnt understand Who Jesus truly was ...i didnt know what to think or feel...well the last couple months ive been down on my knees crying to God confessing all my sons ..letting go my anger from my childhood..well finally i fully submitted myself in my own prayer accepting jesus as God the son ...i had so much peace come over me ..all my bad langage before that prayer disappeared...it was weird...the peace that i felt though waa so amazing. I still dont fully understand all the salvation thing tho but im trying to learn.

What I did is giving them the "case for Christ" book

Excellent episode, Ms Melissa!

So interesting information , Thank you so Much!

Not everyone that does not celebrate Easter or Christmas is a Jehovas Witness. Some are just Messianic Jews aka Early Church Christians. We base our reasons solely on the Bible (Old and New Testament). We celebrate the actual Biblical Feasts Jesus also celebrated. If it is good enough for Him it is good enough for me.

John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Thank you for your heart in wanting to help redeem those folks -who are striving so hard to earn salvation. The Book of Hebrews’ comparison of Jesus superiority to the Angels refutes the Michael being Jesus theory! As well as the numerous times that He accepted Worship & that the epistles instruct us to Worship Him!

Wow, Ready to Harvest posted the JW episode in their 2 minute series an hour after this was posted 😆

i am currently talking to JW. but even when i show with their own content that they mistranslated the original Greek and that the early church fathers before the creeds already taught de divinity of Jesus and he just ignores it mostly and replies to me with articles from their website. it's so frustrating!

Galatians 5 New International Version Life by the Spirit 13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. ------ Romans 8 New International Version Life Through the Spirit Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation-but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. -------------

I was wondering exactly how to reach them. Thank you for this video 🙏

Love your videos. Please keep up the good work! (Just here to boost the algorithm)

Thank you on this video

My Mom is so stuck in there and seem brain washed because she can’t seem to think for herself. So hard to reach her

Holy spirit can speak through God's word

I studied off and on with a couple of JWs in my home for several months until one day a note was on my door telling me the “brother” will not allow them to study with me anymore.

Oooh I'm scared of God's wrath! To even change or take out anything from the bible is to say "God you're not good enough let me fix you" no ma'am no sir. If I or an angel or creature under heaven preaches another gospel let them be accursed. At the same time the Lord is not willing for any to perish! God Bless You Jesus!! Thankyou

I trust in God. Still doing a lot of research on understanding loving God the right way. I got a lot to learn is all I can really say. So many people take advantage of people trying to find good information, but it can be muddied in so much stuff. I'll keep learning

I also had them visit one day and asked a few questions and they said they would come back. I invited them to come back... they never did !!!

When talking to JW people, you need to realize that they think Modalism and Trinitarianism are the same thing. I once got into an online debate with a JW. The argument was, "how can God interact with God?" That is based on the assumption of Modalism. Trinitarianism assumes that the Father, the Word, and the Spirit are One, yet also distinct from each other. In Modalism, God interacts with God. In Trinitarianism, the Father interacts with the Son. Also note that JW's are different. Some can be very polite. Others seem to be rather rude. I also have to concede that I need to check myself from being rude to other people. NOTE: I am going to stop saying "God" or "Jehovah" to help keep myself from taking the Lord's name in vain. Instead I will say "the Lord." I have come to this conclusion due to the fact that people nowadays are frequently taking the Lord's name in vain. I need to stop conforming to the ways of the world, including worldly christianity.

My in-laws are JWs my husband often asks questions and it leads no where.

When I found out my mother-in-law's sister married and converted to jw I was sad. I asked if she said anything to her sister. I don't think she said much if anything to keep their relationship good. I found out that the husband needed heart surgery and wondered how he could survive that. I knew they had different beliefs about surgery. I was telling a friend that I had just been visited, and I asked him why they would try to convert others when there are only a certain amount saved according to them. 🤔 Like giving up their spot.

The JWs just left my home. I've enjoyed our conversations, but today they taught that jesus is a spirit... that he doesn't have a body. If that's the case what was the purpose of his body "disappearing " from the tomb? And if he's just a man, not God, even if he's was a perfect man he'd not have power to redeem all mankind. Only a God could do that. It was a lively, friendly conversation, who knows. Maybe seeds have been planted:)

The Jehovah witnesses leaders (governing body) demands unquestionable obedience and complete trust from their members. Here is a quote from their publication ”All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not." Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20

my ex husband and most of his family are Jehovah Witnesses and I have had so many try to convert me, they would study in my home with my ex husband and it was trying at times but it gave me chance to really understand just how messed up their theology is. My ex still sends our children jehovah Witness bibles and i have had to point out the differences in their bible and hoiw much it is a cult. John 1:1 is a classic verse that they have changed

Thank you😊!

Your comments on the LDS and JW's disliking the cross are interesting. I've often wondered about that myself. The absence of a cross is so subtle that I didn't notice it for years when I was LDS. Someone had randomly pointed it out.

I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. I am not one any longer, I consider myself a Christian. Some of what you have said is true, but some your perspective is a little off. A couple things I felt were wrong, at least while I was a "part". I will be watching your series and will certainly comment there on specifics.

SDA’s, pentecostals same thing with the holidays. I have no respect for anyone who wants to remove the ONLY TWO DAYS of the year where the secular world stops to ponder the name of Christ. It is the day that you can more easily get people to attend a church service.

Thank you and Lord bless

Hey Melissa thank you for this video I learned a lot. I had a request if you have time one day.I wanted to know when or if you should include Godly counsel in all your major decisions or when you should not have it and let it just be between you and God?.sometimes my seeking Godly counsel has almost been oracle like.I want to trust God and not always have to go to people I just don't know when it's ok

The JW published a book in 1879 , page # 48. You can read on this page that Jesus deserves all Honor and worship including Michael the archangel

Who makes you the decisive authority on what any "they" have wrong? That's rhetorical. Nothing does. Religion and faith are not the same, nor should they ever be considered as such. People keep on ruining faith by forcing religion on it. Everybody is wrong. Or not. We'll all figure it one day.

Their doctrine has changed so much since I was a kid that I can't keep track of it. My mom (and The Society) keep misapplying Proverbs 4 to explain it away.

Celebrate the biblical feast, celebrating Easter and Christmas is idolatry. I don’t agree with Jehovah’s Witnesses but on this topic I do

An easy way to reach JWs is to go to their website and request a Bible study. God would send one of His Witnesses to help.

Question for Melissa Dougherty: The Jehovah's Witnesses where I live have occasionally not showed up in pairs. At times, only one person has come to my door. I have their Interlinear and the Time Is at Hand. I used to have a lot of their magazines with the false prophecies. The issue is that the people who visit me are Spanish speaking and I have to translate anything I show them from English to Spanish with the exception of the Millions Now Living book. I've typed up direct quotes in Spanish with the citations to hand to them, but I'm not sure how effective it is since they are not original copies. Do you have any suggestions. Oh, and yes, I can see that it's mind control. It breaks my heart and also makes me feel like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for letting the Lord use you as He does.

Wow! So there is a very specific reason why Romans 8 is my favourite chapter in the bible.

Melissa- thank you for this inside look at JW. I am curious what you know about Eastern Orthodox Christianity?

That was excellent 😎☕

My daughter in law is a jehovah witness. I know more how to pray for her. Maybe someday I can witness better to her

That's what I did they showed the video and I said I was checking the bible for each verse and they were happy that I was looking at my Bible to see if it was true

So, if the JW's are wrong about the Jesus/Michael issue, does that risk their salvation? You seem to be suggesting that if someone has shortcomings in their understanding of the nature of God, they might not be saved. Otherwise, what is the real harm? Is God going to punish someone for thinking the wrong thing about him? I'm not sure you want to go there. Renaming pagan holidays to accommodate Jesus does not erase the gods honored by those holidays. It only diminishes Jesus to the level of a pagan god. Does the Bible say Jesus is the Passover Lamb, or the Easter ham? The OT is full of prophecies about Jesus. Of course, the Feasts of the Law are about Jesus. He said it Himself! John 5:46, Luke 24:44 The Vatican has been, for years, digitally photographing and publishing the hundreds of thousands of ancient documents in its archives. Among them are pages from the New Testament in Hebrew. They contain the Name YHVH. The vowel pointing makes the pronunciation, "YehoVAH." That vowel pointing also appears in the OT, but not always. However, I have never seen vowels in the Hebrew Bible suggesting "Yahweh." If you can show me one, I would interested to see it. I believe "Yahweh" is likely a rebranding of Johe, or Johe Pater, where we get Jupiter.

A J.W..couple in our small northern Ontario Canada town,let their 12 year old daughter die because they refused a life saving blood transfusion. They were charged with endangerment of a child causing death and jailed.... and rightly so 🖕

This sounds stinkingly familiar with what my brother believes as a seventh day evangelist.
