jehovah witnesses

[OneLight]

Having given it a lot of thought, I have decided not to go to the JW church. The reason being that I don't want to be responsible for introducing and possibly even indirectly supporting a false doctrine.

I am going to send her an e-mail that I can't go to kingdom hall with her. What words should I use?

You need to learn how to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit more, my brother. He will guide you in all things, including what to say to this person. Pray and allow Him to show you what to say.

God Bless,

Alan

Am I not following the spirit by coming to the decision that I won't attend their church? Sorry, I'm just not good with words. I end up hurting peoples feelings sometimes and that's why I wanted some advice. That's all.

I have the same problem, as you can see with my last post. I was not trying to be harsh, but encouraging you to seek His help. We can only give personal advice as to what we would say. You know this person where we do not, so we have no real idea as to what to say to her like you do. All I can say is say it in love.

You are not alone in this, sister; I step on people's feelings all the time while looking at them in amazement because they are so thin-skinned. Whatever; such is the way of the world. You can tell your friend that attending the Kingdom Hall would not be a good move for you right now because you are working on serious spiritual issues. (The absolute truth!) You should then suggest that the two of you get together for lunch soon to exchange ideas on a few things. You will lose her completely if you are judgmental or critical. Don't worry; you can do this.

Thanks everyone. You've been very helpful.

Just be honest, strait forward open and loving.......... just tell her the truth in a kind and loving way.

a friend of mine asked a question about a subject the other day. several people gave her an afirmative answer, I gave her a negative answer.

she then said maybe I ought to rethink our friendship if I felt taht way...... my reply to her was, that she asked a question, I gave an answer that was the truth. then I asked her would she rather I had lied to her? and if she wished to end the friendship that was her choice, not mine, the ball was in her court.....

she replied back that she would have rather had the truth. and she did not end the friend ship

being truthful and hearing the truth can be a bit painful at times, but the pain is only temporary..... in a lie, the pain last through out eternity.....

if I am doing something wrong... .I want some one to be truthful to me and tell me that I am going the wrong way.... THAT IS LOVE.... do you love me enough to tell me that I am doing wrong? or do you hate me so that you will just let me drown in my sin?

remember, those that hate their brother who they can see, can not love God whom they can not see......

do not lie to the person that wants you to come with them, let them know that it would not be wise for you to go and what the reason is. be honest about it....

tell them lovingly thou, do not be spiteful or boastful or arogant about it.... be humble before the Lord and let them know.....

best to you...

A friend of mine has jehovah witnesses come over every weekend. She called me the other day and told me they want her to go to their church. She was defending their absurd beliefs and it made me very uncomfortable -- so much that my heart started to race. I see her again on Saturday and I'm sure she'll be talking more about them. I don't know what to say to her. She is the kind of person who is difficult to talk with sometimes -- gets very defensive. How do I politely tell her that JW are false?

Use their method and take a friend with you and a BIBLE!
