Bible Discussion Thread Page 2

Thanks for everyone's response. I was talking to my brother who is a JW and I really dont pay attention to what he says but we were talking and he kept talking about how they took the name of Jehova out of the bible and how Jehova is going to get rid of this system and about making it through the tribulation, I told him I wont be here for that that Ill be gone.

Vince,

When is your ship coming in, and when do you sail off, and where are you going?

Hi Vince.

Thanks for responding, Years ago I too used to try to minister to the JW, I learned quite a bit about their beliefs, I studied on how to minister to them as well as the Mormons, and Muslims. The JW's have a systematic doctrinal Defense against our faith. They have organized little books in their briefcase on how to deal with difficult doctrine we may lay on them. They try to take what's going on in the secular world and appeal to your flesh using the watchtower magazine. They attempt to draw a picture of us being in the tribulation period and it's up to them to usher in the kingdom. They don't go after those who is strong in their faith. They prey on the unlearned mostly. Their goal is to get you to come to one of their conventions so you can see the numbers. They have been brainwashed to believe they have the truth. They believe the Holyspirit is a force and not God and the spirit don't indwell the believer. Anything you try to present to them they treat it like a curse. " Prayer, literature, your Bible, ect." It seems to give them confidence when you reject them because they think they travel through the narrow gate. They seem to take it as confirmation. I guess that's why the scripture says don't give such a group God speed. I must admit I'm confused at this because now how do you minister to them? It's like they are damned. I would suggest Prayer, I don't think I was ever able to win any over to Christ but I've been able to wrestle some of their targets out of their grip. As I say this has been many years ago.

God bless.

Yes. Based on where the name God appears, there are times when that particular verse say "the name of our Lord/God" or a simple description which should end with the name Jehovah or the Hebrew version.
