I remember being the third party during visitation and playing Bible ping pong in the parking lot for over an hour over the trinity with a JW something I said I would never do again. Glad everything worked out with your friend.

The best way to approach a JW on the topic is to avoid the word "Trinity" at first. (Partly because the word is not found in the Bible, and partly because JWs have been taught this word refers to a three-headed false god invented by Satan.) Focus instead on identifying Jesus as Deity; then on identifying the Holy Spirit as Deity.

Once a JW sees the biblical evidence for the deity of Christ and the deity of the Holy Spirit, he is left with the task of coming up with a word to describe the one true God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He now has to coin a word or accept the one Christians have used for centuries.



Yes this approach and the others are all good if the person is an acquaintance so you can have time to work on him.
I was referring to visitation or a street situation. I believe that we should not try to convince them (JW's or other debaters) of the Godhead or
other doctrines but only focus on telling them of the coming day of judgement and the finished work of Jesus Christ. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
