I’d like to thank all of you for your thoughtful replies to my post.
This is something that has been weighing on me for a very long time.
I’m curious about how JW’S deal with “The Fall”.
For some reason I sense that I can exploit this angle.
Your thoughts on this matter are greatly appreciated.
I’m currently out of town on a flight but at home I have this list that you walk your JW friend through. It’s very specific and the end result would be they could not deny that it is Yeshua who is talking and He is the Great I Am that YVWH refers to as Himself. Yeshua said he was the I Am when speaking to his disciples. I’ll post it to you when I get home. Send an email to me.
R/Janey
JWs don’t believe in hell as a consequence, they believe that those outside their group will simply cease to exist at some point.
Get a copy of their New World translation. They believe that Eve’s sin was sexual.
Remember that the Witnesses have been brainwashed into believing you are of the devil and your opinions are just used to make them fall. The only way to be effective with them is to prove their teaching wrong through scripture. Your opinion means nothing to them. She will tell you Jesus is the first born, meaning first created. You can prove this wrong by taking her to Jeremiah 31;9 and Psalms 89:27 where the term “first born” was used of king David an Ephraim, both of who were not the firstborn. If you’re not comfortable doing it, don’t get into it with her. You’ll only strengthen her.
