The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Conversation On My Lunch Break

Paul,

While it would be hardly profitable to argue with your approach, since it is certainly appropriate, there are other equally profitable approaches, IMHO. Each will depend, of course, on the 'hardness' of the ones who visit. One of my preferred approaches is to first discredit the authority and reliability of the WatchTower Bible and Tract Society which is what all JW's rest upon as their epistemological source. It's not hard to do this especially using their own literature which I have a 'working collection' of.

What normally happens, since this approach is rarely something they come across is that they will return with a more educated and seasoned "elder". He is there to answer all the previously unanswerable questions posed to the first couple and to train his companion/worker. To cut this very short, I most always get to the Gospel in short order such as you have presented above when I see things are going 'south' so at least they will have heard something of the necessity of believing upon Christ, although as you well know, they claim they do and that they deny His deity, which is my other approach; proving the deity of the Lord Christ.

I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing the conversion of one of these blinded souls right in my own living room after demolishing the WatchTower's foundation and beginning with Moses and the Prophets showing this person all the places where it spoke of Christ, the eternal Son of God Who took upon Himself human flesh, lived a perfect life, died, was buried and rose again for the justification of all who would believe upon Him with a repentant heart.

One needs to be discerning when dealing with any of these cults, especially those who cut down holly trees.

In His grace,
