Ask them about their relationship with CHRIST. They will claim to have faith in Jesus, but they have a counterfeit Christ (2 Cor. 11:4) and a false gospel (Gal. 1:6-10) that is worthless.

These are old friends of mine long before they ever became witnesses, so, while I don't allow their testimonies to influence me, neither do I become confrontational. I've had Witnesses who were strangers come to my door. Again, I don't allow them to influence me, but I am kind to them. HowEVER, I have this very rich athiest friend who works for Daimler-Chrysler. He told me some Witnesses came to his door. He said he told them, "You guys get out of here or I'll come back with a gun!". Well, they then departed without much delay. True story.

Guest Biblicist Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Jehovah's Witnesses used to come to my door, when we lived in the "city" and I would always talk to them. They don't come now, we live in a much more rural area. I miss talking to them. P.S. I forgot to mention that I am related to a JW. My mother in law is one. I truly love her.

I love to talk with them. It helps that I know their beliefs very well. What always interests me about the mormons is how they slowly change over time. Mormons that come to my house today are vastly different than ones who did 20 yrs ago. I would say that a person who isn't very grounded in Christianity probably should tread carefully because on the surface Mormons and Christians are very similar...and the hook comes quick. I have shared some very memorable times of bible study and prayer with various Mormon missionaries, from literally around the world. While I believe that their religion is wrong in many facets...I also find find it to be a beautiful religion with a GREAT moral base. I have NEVER had a rude encounter with Mormons and would never request a copy of their bible or other books unless I sincerely meant to read them (and I have.) JW's are less enjoyable. Their bible is just a perverted re-write of the KJV. I generally tell them I would be willing to talk if we can use MY BIBLE instead of theirs. That usually stalls the convo irreparably. If they don't use their translation then they cannot justify half of what they believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last that came, I ruined his witness before his students. He left my home yellin, cursing and flailing his arms around while walking backwards down my driveway all the while me smileing and waving with a loud Jesus loves you!

I have, however, studied the basics of their beliefs and keep updated information about them just in case. In order to witness to them correctly, and not get swayed by their near truths, you do have to be grounded solid in your walk with the Lord. You should never attempt to discuss anything with them when you are still taking in the milk of the word. If you are not mature enough to fit into the Whole Armor of God, you have no business in the battle. Unless you are clad with this armor, you will be wounded. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Just close the door. Exactly how do you witness to anyone at all with that attitude? Everyone who is not a born again christian obviously does not have that doctrine, so how exactly will they get it if you treat them like that? you can give them the verses that have been listed above, to not accept them, nor bless them if they do not carry the Gospel of Christ...... and if they reject you, make a motion with your feet, of stamping the dust from them if they reject the Gospel of Christ.... no need to be rude, just let them know that Christ is the center..... I have had many conversations, with both, and one day, a pair of LDS came up while I was working on the mower in the front yard... both no older then 19, and both had an attitude they knew it all..... they were very well indoctrinated, brainwashed..... by the time they left, one was questioning his own beliefs, and the other one was steaming..... one was touched, the other so cold hearted you could see the steam rising from his ears from the anger inside him.... I was kind, and even gentle, gave them the words (not verbatum or even book chapter verse) of the Word..... and that anyone that was trying to undermine the works of Christ was not of Christ..... Christ even said it......... IT IS FINISHED........... no one else can pick up where he left off..... the JW beliefs have changed over the years..... it use to be that only 144,000 of them would be saved....... now, it is only 144,000 will live in the New Jerusalem, and the rest of the JW will live in the subburbs....... no kidding...... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a wonderful opportunity to witness to them! You don't even have to beat the hedges. They're coming right to you. ~Neeva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
