"How can one witness to a Jehovah's Witness? They know so much about the bible and even revered Jesus but they don't believe that Jesus is God." Rocio Soto

I make it a habit not to try and convince a Jehovah's Witness that Jesus is God in human form. There are two reasons for this.

The first is that they have their own version of the Bible that removes references to the true nature of Jesus.

Second, when Jesus asked Peter "Who do you say that I am?" Jesus said to him that flesh and blood hadn't revealed that truth to him, but "my Father who is in Heaven." God is the one who reveals who Jesus is, so I leave that up to Him.

So you have two insurmountable hurdles if you argue doctrine with a JW. They move the goalposts, and they are spiritually blind.

The key to unlocking the door to them is to identify the real issue.

That issue is that JW's are a works righteousness religion. You can uncover this by saying, "There's a knife in my back and I have three minutes to live. What should I do to enter the Kingdom?" It's then that you will discover that they are trusting in works for their salvation rather than in the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

So you have to put them up the River Niagara without a paddle.

Strip them of their false hope. No one will be saved through good works or by being religious. The way to do that is to take them through the spiritual nature of God's Law (the Ten Commandments). Then share the biblical gospel with them--that we are saved by grace through faith alone (without works), and pray that God opens their eyes to the truth.

Once they are truly born again they will leave the Jehovah's Witnesses and become witness of Jesus Christ:

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and YOU SHALL BE WITNESS TO ME in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" Acts 1:8, caps added)

The other problem the Jehovah Witness has that makes it difficult to preach to them is that they try to reason out everything in God's word.

There are so many truth in God's word that don’t appeal to reasons. You have to believe them even if it does not appeal to our senses.

For instance, they try to figure out a loving God would send someone to hell. They back it up by asking if a father could punish his son in fire because he did something wrong.

So, base on that logic, they conclude that there is no hell. They now commit all their time and resources looking for scriptures that appears to support their preconceived opinions and ignore many others that says otherwise.

True. They also take their Watchtower literatures as their final authority over the Holy Bible and if they believe the Bible at all it has to be according to their twisted version.

ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES REALLY JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES?

The very name “Jehovah’s Witnesses” suggests a people divinely chosen to represent the true character of the living God. Yet when one examines their origins, doctrines, and spiritual influences in the light of Scripture, it becomes evident that their witness is not a faithful reflection of Jehovah’s truth. From their founder’s fascination with Freemasonry and occult symbolism to their denial of Christ’s divine identity, the movement bears more resemblance to human invention than to divine revelation.

The movement traces its roots to the work of Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916), a businessman from Pennsylvania who organized a small Bible study group in the 1870s. Russell claimed to rediscover “pure Bible truth.” In 1879 he began publishing Zion’s Watch Tower and Herald of Christ’s Presence, later incorporating the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in 1884.

Russell taught that Christ had returned invisibly in 1874, and that the end of the “Gentile Times” would come in 1914. When that year passed without visible fulfillment, he reinterpreted it to mean that Christ had begun ruling invisibly from Heaven.

But beyond his failed prophecies, Russell’s theology was marked by a troubling obsession with Freemasonry, mysticism, and occult symbolism, influences that are wholly inconsistent with the claim of bearing Jehovah’s name.

Though Russell publicly denied being a member of any secret order, he openly admired Masonic ideas and imagery. His writings and speeches often borrowed from Masonic language, and the early Watch Tower publications featured the cross-and-crown emblem inside a Masonic-style wreath, a symbol used by several esoteric fraternities.

Russell’s fascination went further. He taught that the Great Pyramid of Giza was “God’s stone witness,” claiming that its measurements revealed prophetic dates and verified biblical chronology. This teaching, known as pyramidology, paralleled Masonic mysticism, which regards the pyramid as a symbol of hidden knowledge and divine architecture.

At his death, Russell’s followers erected a large pyramid monument beside his grave in Pittsburgh, complete with engraved Masonic symbols. This monument remains visible to this day, a silent testimony to the mixture of Scripture and occult symbolism that marked his movement’s beginnings.

This blending of biblical truth with Masonic mysticism stands in direct contradiction to the command of Jehovah: “What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14).

The contradiction between name and message deepens in the doctrines of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

1. They deny the full divinity of Christ.

They teach that Jesus is not Jehovah but a created being, the archangel Michael. By mistranslating John 1:1 as “the Word was a god,” they reject the eternal deity of Christ and reduce Him to a lesser divine agent. This teaching denies Jehovah’s own testimony: “Beside me there is no Saviour” (Isaiah 43:11).

2. They deny the personhood of the Holy Spirit.

Jehovah’s Witnesses claim that the Spirit is merely an impersonal force, not a living, divine being. Yet Scripture describes the Spirit as one who teaches (John 14:26), intercedes (Romans 8:26–27), and can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30). Such traits belong only to a personal God, not a force.

By misrepresenting the Father, denying the Son’s deity, and reducing the Spirit to energy, they witness not for Jehovah but against His revealed character.

Jehovah’s Witnesses claim salvation is possible only through obedience to the Watchtower organization and participation in its door-to-door preaching system. They reject salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9).

This legalistic system enslaves its members under fear and performance rather than love and freedom. Jesus said, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). Yet those who question the organization’s teachings face disfellowshipping and isolation, a system of control more in harmony with authoritarian cults than with the Spirit of God.

A true witness of Jehovah must speak truthfully in His name. The Watchtower Society, however, has repeatedly failed this test. It predicted the end of the world for 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975, and other dates, each time revising the meaning after failure. Scripture warns plainly:
“When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass… the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously.” (Deuteronomy 18:22)

These repeated failures prove that their message did not come from Jehovah.

The Bible teaches there is “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). Yet Jehovah’s Witnesses claim that only the 144,000 “anointed” have Christ as their mediator, while the rest of the believers must approach God through the Watchtower organization.

This doctrine removes Christ from His rightful place and places the organization as an intermediary between God and man, a direct contradiction of Scripture.

Though bearing Jehovah’s name, the organization’s spirit, structure, and history betray its true nature. Its founder’s fascination with Freemasonry, pyramid mysticism, and esoteric knowledge laid a false foundation. Its teachings misrepresent the nature of God and replace Christ’s saving grace with institutional obedience.

A people who truly witness for Jehovah must proclaim His truth as revealed in Scripture, not as interpreted through hidden symbols or human hierarchy. They must exalt Christ as the full expression of God’s character and the only source of salvation.

By their fruits, they show that they are not true witnesses of Jehovah, but rather witnesses of a human system that has borrowed the language of Scripture while rejecting its power.

Their name claims allegiance to Jehovah, but their origins and teachings deny Him.

Therefore, when the question is asked, Are Jehovah’s Witnesses really Jehovah’s Witnesses? The Bible’s answer is clear: No. Their witness is not of Jehovah, but of man.

Jesus's answer is clear:

By their fruits you will know them! Matthew 7:16

Bring out members of Deeperlife and members of Jehovah's Witnesses in any location to see who are living by Bible standard and those living by man's standard.

Kumuyi is already facing backlash from members of his own church today while those who don't want to be Jehovah's Witnesses are crying outside the camp!

My Faith in Jesus is still as strong as ever. Am surprised you have a faith Jesus. Most JWs I know have faith in the watchtower not Jesus. An organization that endorses itself as the "mouthpiece of God" "dispenser of truth" "go-between " when Jesus clearly says-

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH....NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME.

That society is a fraud! or a hireling! or an impostor! this is evident in the rotten fruits of-

1. Failed prophecies from 1914 to present. Even if "wrong expections" is used as an excuse, no JW has been able to point out just 1 prophecy that was fulfilled! But are quick to label others as false prophets!

Come to think of it, if Jehovah is truth then why has his "mouth piece" never dispensed any prophecy that came true!

Somebody is telling lies.

If Jehovah is not a man that he should lie or son of man that he should repent why is his mouthpiece going back on forth on "Jehovah's words"

Somebody is telling lies.


While preparing Whatever defence you have for them, I want you to know this

"any group claiming exclusive divine authority must demonstrate consistent accuracy, especially in prophecy.
When predictions fail, this raises logical questions about the claim of divine guidance"

Because the Watchtower says it is used by God as His channel, it would be reasonable to expect a higher level of doctrinal accuracy than from other churches in Christendom. After all, guidance from God should lead to consistent truth

2. Child abuse scandals-
Think about this-

Would God’s sole organization repeatedly face serious scandals similar to those seen in institutions that do not claim divine direction?

I.e Australian royal commission that found 1,006 alleged perpetrators of child abuse recorded within Jehovah’s Witness congregations in Australia since 1950 or the court awarded damages to survivors of child abuse?

You may say it happens in the churches you mentioned earlier, but then think about this-

Would God’s sole channel repeatedly face serious institutional criticism from courts and national inquiries?

The OP also claim he is a Christian he has never mentioned any other church on this forum as a Christian group except Deeperlifer because that is the name of his own church.
So what is the name of your own church Sir?🙂
