How to Reach Jehovah's Witnesses 

Do you have tips or tactics you have found to be effective? Please share them here in the comments section. I believe there are many different ways to approach this.

I was 14 when we left. Im 35 now and still struggling with the trinity. The brainwashing is real, dangerous and scary. Im a active bible reader and church member but still struggle with Christmas and blood transfusion. This is real. Please pray for these mislead people.

I left Jehovah’s Witnesses at 30, it took until 44 to work through all the garbage in the basement. God literally had to go behind enemy lines and break the chains for me.....All Glory goes to him! I literally was 100% incapable of helping myself. Fortunately after years of loneliness God brought an amazing church into my life, and the caring and patient Body took the time to gently but firmly answer all my questions. Today God is developing a huge Men’s Ministry in our Church, and I am deeply blessed to be a part of that. If you are stuck after leaving, or trying to leave but afraid; pray to God that He will save you. He will! He rejoices when the least of us are saved!

Hi Mike. I want to thank you so much for this teaching, I have watched again and again for months. Finally they knocked at my door. My son answered and said to them... "my mum wants to talk to you". I met with them last week!! I focused on the deity of Jesus Christ.. using the scripture you gave us here. I controlled the discussion and kept coming back to the scriptures. I then showed them Col:1 . I used their publications all the way through. Showed them the original greek. Asked the question about the word "other". First they denied that it was added (even though it was plain to see. Then they said it was only added to understand the scripture and it made no difference to the meaning. Wow!! That wall you spoke about was astonishing. I ended with Ray Comforts question "I have 3 minutes to live what can I do to be saved?" They danced around the question verbally. Then they asked me what I would say. The Holy Spirit just took my lips and I repeated scripture after scripture. Mike they heard and I leave the rest tpo the Holy Spirt that the seed of the word is generated in them. Two lovely ladies and we parted amicably. Thank you Yvett , Northampton, UK

Your lessons are spot on! For over 50 years of my life, I thought I knew Christ, and served faithfully as a JW. I loved the Bible and read it and studied it until I realised not one scholar of Greek or Hebrew respected the New World translation. So I got many respected translations and started to learn. Slowly I found people like James White and the late Walter Martin, who spoke with real depth of scriptural understanding. Then I did the unthinkable to a JW, I prayed to Jesus and asked him to either forgive me for not recognizing him as deity and open my heart and eyes, or give more faith in “God’s Organization”. Well, my eyes opened, my heart opened and the real Jesus showed up in my life. So do not give up, we are out here and we are spiritually abused and broken, we need to come to Christ for healing and for the joy of the freedom of the sons of God we were promised by the Watchtower but never had.

When I came out it felt like I was walking off a cliff or stepping into another chasm. It's definitely a mind bender. I'm so happy He left the 99 to rescue me!

As a former 3rd generation JW, what worked for me was hearing Christian testimony of how Christ renewed them when I was at the doors. This laid seeds for me. “...by the blood of Jesus and the word of their testimony“ 🤗

Thank you so much. Our daughter is engaged to a “non practicing” JW yet, these are his core beliefs. They plan to be married by a JW preacher (not sure how that works. But we are Evangelical Christians and we are praying for his salvation and our daughters return to Jesus as her Savior. If you see, please pray for their salvation. God bless you

I had a disgruntled attitude toward witnesses to begin with having been raised in it and not liking the control and always having to watch your back to avoid going in the back room with the elders. After leaving I started to read the Bible for myself. I saw that salvation was for "all" not just JW. I felt duped. I started reading the index of the nwt and comparing the scripture to their explanation of it and I saw it didn't match and my confidence in them was shattered. So began my search for truth and I sure found it! I am a born again believer kn Jesus as my savior and I take communion now as Jesus commands us! I have a hope and a future which is in Christ's hands, not a bunch of men!

It took me 16 years after being born into it. I’m praying for my mom to open her eyes.

"We're on a rescue mission, not a search & destroy mission" Amen brother so true!!! God bless and thank you for all the terrific videos. I'm learning daily. Psalm 34:3

Well I just had some nice ladies at my door and to be honest I have tried to prepare myself for these moments but I have a very bad memory and not at all great in debates like these. I just turned the tables on them and said that I really didn't think they were saved, that I thought they were greatly deceived , and urged them to seek the truth about what and why they believe what they believe. I felt the Holy Spirit rise up in me through this, and I do believe I came across as genuine, and maybe I managed to sow a seed of doubt in their minds.

“A heart of compassion and a mind filled with wisdom “ - Well said, thank you. I had a very nice young woman call me in 2020. I knew she was from the J.W. I have been studying with her and another J.W. woman and I have known from that first phone call that I as a Christian who feeds on God’s word can show them the light which is Christ in You! So, every week, 1 day a week, we study the word and I read from the NKJV while we study, not from the New World Translation as these two lovely women do. I pray that the light of my reading them scripture from the NKJV will cause them to think. WE ARE ON A RESCUE MISSION

Thank you, this is the best video I've seen about ministering to JW's! I was a JW for 16 years (and have been out for over 14 years now), and what started making a "crack in the dam" for me was reading their old literature and seeing how much their beliefs have changed over the years. JW's try to excuse the changes as "new light", and even discourage reading their old literature, but the things in the old books were really shocking to me, and started making me doubt that the JW organization could possibly be acceptable to God. Another big thing for me was when I witnessed to Christian coworkers, they didn't put me down, but were willing to be patient and loving in their conversations with me, agreeing with what they could and then bringing up points for me to think about what they disagreed with. Also hearing about their own love for Jesus, and the answered prayers in their lives, really got me thinking. That was when I started opening up to doing my own research online, and then of course my whole JW faith fell apart soon after that. I am so thankful for those loving and gentle Christian friends!!

Just had 2 at my door 2 days ago. I was courteous, respectful then went to my go to scriptures. I first ask them if Jesus is Jehovah? Of coarse they say no, they will want to give you a scripture describing Jesus as the "son'', that is okay, let them. Then ask them to open their book (I refuse to call it Bible) to Isiah 44: 6 This is what Jehovah says,The King of Israel and his Repurchaser, Jehovah of armies: ‘I am the first and I am the last. There is no God but me........Next get them to tell you who the 1st and the last is, they will say "Jehovah" .......then reiterate that it says "there is no God but me", they will agree.......now comes the closer. Turn to (again in their book) to Revelation 2: 8 “And to the angel of the congregation in Smyrʹna write: These are the things that he says, ‘the First and the Last,’ who became dead and came to life again:.........During the moment of silence ask them when Jehovah became dead and came to life again? At this point they will usually flee as the darkness does not like the light, but the seed has been sown and it is the power of Gods word that saves and does not return void.

For the first 4 years I lived here I have had very sweet Jehovah witnesses park across the street from my house probably 1 to 2 times a month then they would go walk around... God put something on my heart to help. After 3 hours of taking notes and researching the devil started putting thoughts in my head like you’re wasting your time, they will never listen, your going to make a fool out of you and God... BUT I did everything you said, I wrote down all the prophecies in my note app then waited for them to come. I was able to share the first two when they advised of an appointment they had to attend, however, promising to return. To my surprise a few months later one of the two came back with a church elder. I ran and got my notes then started off with my third and fourth piece of proof. The elder was much more forceful to lead me in a different direction. I was happy to listen and waiting for my turn. After I presented the fourth piece she threw her hands in the air and said, you’re not going to change my mind about my beliefs. I said, thats the Holy Spirits job not mine, we’re just talking. She paused then said they had to go but promised to return. It’s been one year and they haven’t even walked down the block. My husband and neighbors were shocked. So keep up the good work, your advice is working! Praise Jesus 🙌🏻

Just watched this. My whole family except a few are JWs. The Kingdom Hall was my first experience with religion. I would go with my grandmother to Sunday Service , out in service and Bible Study. My mother wasn’t involved with them though( thank God for that). By the time I was 10, I was so influenced by my grandma and aunts and uncles I would look at a cross in disgust. Fast forward a few years and I was invited to a Pentecostal church where my eyes were open to the truth of the gospel and Salvation. The Holy Spirit did a marvelous work in my heart and I was totally transformed. Praise Jesus and the power of the cross. I have tried to witness to my family without any success. I have been praying for them for 40 years now, your instructions was like you are right on the money with their mentality. They know their Bible better than I know mine. So thank you for the wisdom and instructions on how to put a crack in their argument. God Bless you!

Thank you for this video. I'm an exjw as well. I always keep in mind that active JW's are victims of a cult, they just don't know it. So compassion for these people is important. My parents and other family are still in it and actively shunning me. Thanks for your tips!

One of the saddest things Ive ever heard : Ive had more than one JW tell me, "if Watchtower is wrong than I don't want to be right. I will die believing this no matter what it leads to in the end!"

Bravo! Excellent insights! JW Survivor here. Grew up as one. In my mid-teen years, relatives brought me books, priests, and servants from church to save me. Nothing worked until they found an ex-JW who spoke their jargon and was able to have an informed conversation about the scripture. 30 minutes into our conversation, I knew I'd leave JW, because the first "brick" had already been pulled. Over the years I've accepted that the "Christian World" and the church are never perfect, but it was up to me to draw the boundaries of my relationship with the church and I was free to critique and reflect. I feel that now I have a deeper relationship with God, which is based on Love and Forgiveness.

Praise the Lord & thanks for Simon & Maria. They will be a powerful witness & blessing for us & those who will believe in Our Lord Christ Jesus. Great vid 👍

Speaking as a “born in” jw. You have great points and focusing on one thing is the way to go. Escaping is a slow process, help the person see a doctrinal issue then let them sit in the hell that being a jw is socially and culturally and that’s the recipe to getting out, Thank you Mike! 😀

What you said about 8:40 is so true. You don't have time to study the deeper things as a JW. Or test out your faith. When I posed some serious questions to my father (a JW elder) about 607bce and 1914 he said he simply doesn't have time to look into it. I had to quit meetings when I started to wake up to have time to actually really look into stuff. So glad I did!!

You reached Me... Thank you, I've never been so confused in my life but I hope I can find the real truth step by step.

Thank you for these ideas! I have a good friend who is JW, & at a recent trip to the beach, i tried to witness a little, & show her truths, with Bible verses from my phone, because that’s all I had, & she said, “I’m not looking at that, just stop, because you are now pissing me off!” I was floored, & hurt, because I didn’t know all of this information you just gave, so I came to you tube to learn more… I’m going to continue studying , & mastering a single subject, using their material now, & pray she gets out of that deception, with the compassion & love of Jesus…

Thank you for having compassion for JWs. My sister is the nicest person you could ever imagine, and would give her last dollar to a stranger, but she is a JW and is impossible to talk to .

My cousin and her husband have been apart of the JW's watchtower thingy for over 30 years... I finally think I have enough stuff thanks to Brother Mike to start planting that seed. Thank you for your videos God Bless. 2 Peter 1:16 - 'For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eyewitnesses of his majesty'

I stumbled into your other video about the false prophesies and I got to say you did an excellent job. I'm currently a jw but woken up since I got reinstated. This topic is very valuable for us since we want to try to wake up our family members. Bridget from AZ a RU-vid activist masters this technique. She concentrates in one topic and they always try to jump from one scriptures to another. But she puts them back in place. Thanks for putting all this videos up. They are very valuable for the ones whose still in mentally out.

Mike, you are spot on. I grew up a JW and left the religion 27 years ago. It took most of those years to retain my mind and learn the real truth. I found Jesus and there has been no looking back. God bless you brother!

Took me 4 years of reading and studying the ESV to unravel the deception and manipulation of the Roman Catholic faith. I lived in shame my whole life until then feeling like I wasn’t good enough. Now, as a born again, bible studying Christian, I feel so loved by Our Father. I was blinded, but now I see!!

You did an amazing job here. I’ve lost my faith since leaving the jw cult, yet it is such a beautiful thing seeing there are people spending their own money and using their time to help wake up people. Thank you!

I found this site by accident and it is the first time I felt like I had some "Hope" in ministering to Witness. My brothers and their family are all Witnesses and even though they are never mean, I am definitely an outcast because of my Christian beliefs. I have read and listened to so many things that scrambled my brain and gave me no hope or direction on how I can Witness to them. I love them dearly and my hope is someday I will be there as the scales fall away from their eyes. I can't wait to see more of your videos.

Wow! This video was amazingly packed with insightful information. I had been praying for insight on how best to approach my mother who is a JW and this video laid the foundation for exactly what I need to do. Big Thanks!!

Hi Mike! Just wanted to say thank you for the work you're doing for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I had an encounter with a Jehovah's witness last week but didn't have time to sit down with them; and boy am I glad I didn't! I didn't understand to the fullest extent just how hard it will be to crack that shell! I asked them to come back this weekend, so hopefully they will, and through diligent study, prayer, and the power of the Holy Spirit something might be said through me to at least plant a seed! It saddens me that deeply that these individuals have been led down this path and just pray that somehow God can use a wretched sinner like me to help reach them!

This is so informative and super helpful. I’ve been welcoming the JW’s into my home over the past 2 years and I love the God-given opportunity to evangelize to them the REAL truth! Watching your videos has not only inspired me to dig deeper with them but try and tackle just a few convincing points to hopefully see them go home with. I’ve learned so much with your videos. This coupled with Jeff Durbin’s (apologiastudios) RU-vid confrontations with JW’s has been so helpful. I appreciate what you’re doing and encourage you to continue this effort to help evangelicals become better educated in defending the truth and helping to enlighten the JW’s.

Awesome (as always) Mike!! Great info presented here! God bless you! Really enjoy all your videos!

I appreciate your comments on the part "What's it like" to be a witness, but no one can possibly know unless you where one yourself. It's not just about the theology or twisting the scriptures or how it takes years to think differently. It's like "death" itself when you learn the "truth about the truth" and many do take their own lives when they come out. So trying to reason with one is almost impossible. All I can say is...keep it simple, plant a wee seed, and let it go, give it to Jesus to take care of. Just my thoughts as I was in for 50 years! Thanks for sharing, Blessings!

as an ex jw I appreciate the kind way of attempting to reach beyond the brainwashing. I wish more did this. If they will ever listen this will get them to listen more than those who are angry or yell or call them cults etc. Most witnesses are good people that are just so brainwashed, isolated, and have been lied to for years or for some their whole life. So thank you

Dude, this was packed with raw awesome. Thank you!

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for all of your content on this particular topic. I watch a lot of your stuff, but I had an opportunity to share the true gospel of Jesus Christ with someone who is a JW, and I had watched a number of your videos and even purchased the Greek inter-linear book from the watchtower organization as a witnessing tool. We talked for probably 3 hours and the person was very open to listening because I had been equipped with knowledge of the belief system and conversations have their own pitfalls and walls to avoid, and things that are meaningful. They came away from the conversation telling me they were changed, and hadn’t talked to anyone at such a deep and meaningful level in as long as they could remember. They said I had given them a lot to think about. Glory to God. More conversations will be had soon 🙏

Thank you for this video. My heart aches for them, especially the children.

You got it , it took me about a year to question the JW organization, an other year of 4 to 6 hours a day studying, then once I was out and convinced the JWs were lying to me, then in a short time I knew the real Jesus Christ and my life changed, you would not believe it, every day for years now have been better and better, practically living in ecstacy . Really knowing my Father and knowing that I can go to him about anything, any time and not be judged, it is just so different than the JW world of FEAR, OBLIGATION, GUILT, and sin, sin, sin and rules. LOL. I am so glad to be out. Thank you for all you do, your prayers for us are being answered, we are waking up and leaving.

Thank you very much for thisthis great video. I live the motive of love for the JW behind it. Those tips are a gem that we can all use ad most of us seem to contend with them instead if sharing the gospel , the good news of Gods love and salvation. Keep up the great work, may God continue to use you greatly

Thank you, Mike! This was amazingly helpful.

Thank you for your kindness and the love you so obviously feel! It means so much! Your points are spot on and you are correct the only way to reach witnesses is to use their Bible and their material.

I recently spent some time talking to a couple JWs that came by - they even sent their backup when they realized I know more about the Bible than your average Joe - and it was very interesting. First, of the 30 minutes or so we were talking, we spent the first 20-25 minutes talking about the word and doctrine we agreed on. I asked them about their congregation, we talked about doctrine of love, original sin, and a mix of OT and NT ideas. The older gentleman of the duo said he grew up Catholic, so we spent some time talking about some of our concerns with the doctrine and history of the Catholic church. Specifically, we talked about the issues with Latin mass and scripture, and gatekeeping in general. I made the point that there should be no gatekeeper between you and your personal relationship with Jesus, and that rules and barriers placed by man have no place in your walk with God. He emphatically agreed, ironically! Then we briefly touched on a few places where our theology diverged in critical ways, but that was only at the end and I asked them to reach out so we could speak again. But what I think was very effective is that I met them with love and a pleasant smile, and I spent a lot of our time talking about what common ground I could that was still scripturally based, so I established a sense of trust with them. I spent almost 30 minutes talking to them about everything we agreed on before I mentioned anything about where we disagreed! I think that had an impact, as they didn't seem to be able to make sense of how I could be saying so much that they agreed with, based on the same scriptures they would cite, but then have such a fundamental divergence in doctrine from them. I asked them to come back so we could talk more, and I'm hoping to be equipped with a bit more substance for them, in terms of challenges to their beliefs. But in short, I think a great approach is: 1. Be kind and demonstrate love - they don't see much kindness door-to-door. 2. Show genuine interest in their thoughts and beliefs, even if just to understand them better. 3. Spend more time agreeing than disagreeing, when you can, in order to establish trust 4. Don't hang your disagreement on technicalities and small details - present the Gospel of Grace and trust the spirit to work

This is my go-to video on this topic. Listened half a dozen times so far ❤

Thank you for making the crack in my now previous faith turn into a valley of truth. I've lived under fear and suspicion as a former Jehovah's witness for so long being free from that is like having the Sun finally shine on my soul I can see the world for the first time through new fresh eyes and finally feel like I just might be good enough for Yahwah. Learning Jehovah is a mis translation was huge for me and lead me to ur video. Thank you for these strategies for I'm going to share with my family in hopes of freeing them. I know the birthday thing my mom always felt they were too strict about there's a scripture in 1st Corinthians I think about eating sacrificial meat from pagan sacrifices and as long as no one mistakes you as pagan, eat! By the look on my mother's face I think I finally put the first break in her chains. Thank you for going about this sensitive subject and such a loving and compassionate way. God bless!

My best friend is a Jehovah witness and we have been friends since middle school , and I have always respected her beliefs , I am a Christian , I have always observed her passion for God and it’s so awesome , that sometimes I wish I could be dedicated to God like she is , or like they are , it’s just sad they spending it with wrong knowledge but thats all they know ! But everything you mention is true , we need to understand them !

Thanks for this. Definitely need to start with compassion.

Thank you for this video...so helpful!! Quick story - years ago, two JWs came to my door - one was a convert and one had grown up in the church. I showed them the various passages where both God and Jesus call themselves the First and the Last, the Alpha and Omega, and the Beginning and the End. There's one in Isaiah 44, and the first two and last two chapters of Revelation. Ironically, it was the life-long JW who said, "I've never noticed that before!" I was so stunned I didn't know what to say! I still pray for that man.

I can hear the earnest and compassion in your voice. Beautiful Mike. Great approach!

Their false prophesy of 1975 for armageddon was the most notable event that made me research the rest of their false teachings.

Thank you for the enlightment, I needed to watch this video. There is a Jehova witness church in front of the buiding I live basically and I see them once in a while. I want to share the Truth to Jehova witnesses but I feel I'll just end up getting in an argument and emotional about it. I had observed that truth is not enough, like you said it's cracking inside their deceptive web of corrupted doctrine and most importantly with love. This video is very helpful so I can prepare myself to talk to them. Thank you, God bless brotha!

Thank you for your videos Mike. I'm greatly inspired. God Bless your ministry :)

Thank you, Mike, and thank the Lord! He's suddenly put me in a situation where I need guidance and this was really helpful. I'm definitely already on the path with Greek (John 1:1). I so appreciate your comments and the information about how to use their sources, particularly their interlinear Bible. Yes!

We really were locked in the tower and it's crazy how we didn't even know until we woke up..i appreciate all the compassion you have for the jws and your willingness to help as that is something I'm still learning. ... my husband and i used to add up our time when we were still jws because we never had time for ANYTHING other than jw life..we have 5 kids so it took a ton of time preparing for meetings and service.. Just for Tuesday night meetings I had to start the kids showers by 2 pm.. so 2-6 getting ready, studying and throwing a dinner in there.. then the actual meeting from 7-8:30 not getting home till 9.. so 7 hours focused jw time that one day. Oh and that does not include the extra extra time it took to prepare talks and demonstrations! That would take me at least a week😣 I wasn't that great at it lol

You are a true blessing and helped me So,So much in this area of my life. Jesus is God and you have the Holy Spirit within you, much respect and admiration!!!

Thank you so much for this! I have a JW friend that works with me and we recently started talking about the scriptures and when you said they will constantly change the subject, my mind was blown because every time I answered a question of his he would change to a different scripture. You are so right in saying you need to use their own literature to be able to create the crack in the dam, otherwise they won't listen. I am looking forward to mastering that ONE topic.

Thank you Pastor!!! I find your videos to be very helpful. Your in depth studies have sharpened my sword and help make me more affective in the harvest fields.

I was the first dope in my family to get involved with the JW. So glad to have walked away. Now Born again, the real truth Jesus.....

Brother Mike, I have had an elder from JW visiting me for 2 years. He knows my love of God via King James. Yet he keeps coming knowing about these scriptural truths. Jesus Christ is God.

Thank you for your clear and well presented presentation. I too, like many others commenting here was a member of the JW gang. I was not a patched up member as in an MS or an Elder etc but I was very much a black and white believer. At the time that I was leaving there were many other difficulties that I was struggling with including two teenagers, a separating marriage, and at the time undiagnosed adhd. I wish now that I had the presence of mind that I have now, however I did not and that resulted in my being shunned by many that were onxe friends and also some family. I am grateful for the time I have left even though I spent 19 years in the organization. I'm now happily free to think and say what I wish. It has not been an easy road since leaving the gang but the light sure does become brighter once you take those shades off. Peace and love to you all.

This is so wonderful!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! God Bless you for this video, your hard work and your compassion!

You just taught me so much here. My family are 3 generation JW. My mom was never baptized &neither was I. Thank God

I'll be giving my testimony this October at WNFJ in Blue Mountain Conference in Pennsylvania. Thanx for this video. 👍🏽

Reading "So What we can do" I think are all good tips. I added a couple to my preparation, prior to witnessing to a JW. Prayer & make sure you are well versed in God's word. I just witnessed to a couple of them yesterday. Since, I know their theology I was familiar with the passages used. They started out with Psalms 37. I shared my beliefs & was never asked if I was affiliated with a church. What was great about this experience was I told them how God answered my prayers & how real God is. They actually listened to me for about 5 minutes. They are coming back to talk about God's kingdom. I love it.

Thank you so much for this, there is someone I really care about, and this has helped me focus on how to approach the subject with them. 🙏🙏

Very very accurate and insightful. I was born into a Jehovah's witness family. Great work. The cult like feel is a bit mind bending. Submit. Everyone else is wrong. It honestly traumatic in a way. But there is positivity in absolutely everything at the same time. Hopefully I can talk to my family when I'm not getting stoned and drunk. 😲

I want to thank you SO much for making this video! I became a Christian only a couple years ago. I had been dissfellowshipped for over 20 years when I finally got free from the JWs. It is so hard for anyone to understand what it was like if they haven't been through it. You have been given a real gift though of understanding because you are SPOT ON!! I had horrific, traumatic nightmares my entire life from my jw upbringing. Praise Jesus for saving me! So I've recently started preparing to teach a class at my church so people can learn how to share the gospel with JW's. My entire family is still in and I can't reach them but God told me even though I can't reach them, I can raise up people who can. Anyhow, sorry this is so long. I really appreciate this video and will definitely be sharing your channel with the people in the group. God bless you and your ministry!

Hey Mike, love this video thank you so much! I have a group of Jehovah's Witnesses who have been coming to my door regularly because they believe they will pull me toward their beliefs. As a training Christian chaplain, my heart is to show them the truth. They frequently apologize to me on a regular basis because they are anticipating frustration from me. I feel that spending time in the Lord's word strengthens my faith even when I am reading their own material. Providing the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures helped not only give me something to use as teaching, but proved to me to me even more that Christ is Lord. Thank you for this!

Thanks as always Mike for highlighting our need to be full of grace

I don't care what they say, I like you.

Everything sounds very similar to the Mormon Church!

So well said” we are on a rescue mission”! Thank you for the video God bless

Thank you so much, what a great help, love watching and hearing these things that are so helpful in being the light in the darkness. God bless you 🙏

I was raised as a JW and I remember I used to think that everyone making fun of us and hating us was proof we were the one true religion. So for those who want to attack JWs at the door or make fun of them online remember this could work in favor of the enemy. Instead show them the love and patience of Jesus. I thought I was doing God's will and was sincere in knowing what I thought was truth.

I am born in JW. A simple way to get them to think is to ask them when ancient Jerusalem fell. They will say 607. Then ask them why all historians believe ancient Jerusalem fell in 587, not 607. Most likely, they will not have an answer. Then Google when did ancient Jerusalem fall while they are at the door on your cell phone. It will say 586/587. At this point, they will say they will have to do research and get back to you. If they come back, they will likely bring two articles from the 2011 watchtower on this subject. Tell them you will read them. When they come back, show them the footnote that says none of the historians in the article believe that Jerusalem fell in 607. This will have put doubt in their cornerstone belief for the 1914 doctrine. It all falls apart from there. They use the same cuniform tablets for all other dates except 607.

Thank you!! I appreciate all you are and are doing. I’ve ordered the books. The first came and am going to use with a friend (actively building a friendship with this person) and trusting Holy Spirit to help me study and love well. Thank you ❤️

Thanks for your videos! Love the content and the way you deliver it! Thanks a lot!! Greetings from Scotland!

Speaking Truth in Love! Great stuff Mike

Hi Mike, just to let you know, that I was witnessing to a Jehovah’s Witness recently on John 12:41. Just to give you context, I’m from Sri Lanka and our mother tongue is Sinhala. In the Sinhala translation of the NWT, John 12:41 says “Isaiah said these things because he say the glory of Jesus and spoke about him”. After I connected Isaiah 6 to this verse, the witness admitted that Jesus is Jehovah and she started to tear up. It was amazing.

Pastor Mike ! I give ALL Glory to God for finding you on RU-vid. I have a testimony I am sure you have never heard before and AGAIN , ALL Glory to our Lord Jesus. But that is for another time. I wanted to express in my 40 plus years walk with God, I find you to be humble. A characteristic which is sadly missing these days in leadership. My prayer is you will always maintain that humility because it really is a wonderful attribute given to us by God's Grace. I know you are busy and now that you are in your 40s you may notice the days seem shorter as well as the years...lol. I would like to email you but don't know where to do that. In my younger years I had a heavy burden for JWs and studied everything I could get my hands on PRE-internet. I noticed that they always identified themselves as Christians and always suggested that my version of the Scripture was no different than theirs. What made it a lot easier to talk with them was I spent over two years making notations in their OWN bible. This was back in the day when they claimed their scholars attributed to giving them their version remained anonymous before they were exposed. Now A Days...JWs have gotten much smarter and have distanced themselves from such controversial things like the prophecies,the court examination etc. and have adopted a new term that "the light grows ever brighter" Well that's enough for now. If I could know where to email you so I could talk with you and if it be God's Will, possibly help me with some recent trials that I sense may be critical in God's Eyes. in regards to my walk.- God Bless you brother as you lift the Name of Jesus before all men.

You do so much good, Mike. Thank you for your videos.

Learn at least one truth. I just had a JW approach me at the gas pumps. Since our time to dialogue was very brief, my "one truth" was that Jesus Christ IS God. JWs say "Jehovah" "Is the ONLY true God" and that Jesus is "A" God but not "THE" God. (See NWT John 1:1) So I simply ask if Jesus is "A" God is He a TRUE God or a false God? Of course the answer Jesus is a True God. I then point out that there IS indeed only ONE true God and Jesus IS God! "In the beginning was the word and the word was WITH God and the word WAS GOD!" - John 1:1 "But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O GOD, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom." -Hebrews 1:8

If your Spirit filled, just pray for the Holy Ghost to touch them, and watch them tremble under the Love of God. Jesus is King. "The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power."

What excellent insight! The various approaches are spot on! Having escaped them in 96 I'm well aware and was trained to be well versed in their heresy. I mastered their means of controlling debates with others in what they call "christendom." Though I wasn't born into it, I dove in hard for 4 years and recruited 3 of my best friends and many others. I lost my friends when I left. They shunned me of course. Note Simon and his wife left out the hours spent on bible studies with each of your potential recruits. Ha! I still have an old notebook I recorded all my field time hours and people I was counting time on! They nearly ruined my life!

I really appreciate it that he always brings it back to compassion, love and bringing JW's to the truth. I have a lot of hate for witnesses. I was never one myself, but I was hurt by them when I was younger. I'm trying to give that hate up to God.

Thank you for doing this video! I notice there’s a huge exJW community online and it’s just growing. I was never a JW although I married one who chose to not be one when he turned 18 years old. However my Inlaws are Pioneers and I need to learn how to reach out to them. I really want them to wake up!

Excellent teaching Mike, I have studied pretty deeply on this subject and put together a study guide book for myself loaded with lots and heavy hitting ammo, I did this because when I was born again one of the short list of people I wanted to share the truth with was an old work buddy who is a JW, I talked for hours on the phone debating with him and took him to task, many times cornering him, other times It went no where. I then attended a JW Easter style event where my work friend was the key note speaker, so as you can imagine he is well learned in JW doctrine, then I had dinner with him afterwards and again cornered him on the divinity of Jesus, where he promptly ended the evening, then in a later phone call he had even mistakenly lead me to win the debate by leading the talk to a passage I hadn't noticed that proved Jesus was God, and we have barely spoke since. I know its hard for him to leave as he was bought up in it and has a family, I feel it must have made a dent, in the end its Gods will, but now I have another page in my book written in thanks to you for future talks. Thank you and God Bless Mike:)

This is very much in depth and useful. Since they r strongly trained to be missionaries therefore you hit the nail on the head that we MUST, Must be trained for rebuttals and know without doubt how to explain scripture. Thanks for this video.

The pickaxe analogy man. Good stuff. Thanks Mike

Jehovah's witnesses doesn't think there is anything wrong with having a foundation of error. As long as there is "new light" they believe this means that they're doing something that is better than other religions. They're supposedly humble for making improvements. I'm disfellowshipped and my family has shunned me as if I'm under demon influence now that Im christian. They believe I'm rebelling against Jehovah God. My family that isn't baptized is also under the mind control of this false belief that anything that doesn't agree with the teaching of JW is under scrutiny.

I need some help please. If someone can, that would be greatly appreciated. I have woken up and know that this religion is not the truth and my wife and her parents know as well. But I still go and support her as I slowly show her that this isn't the truth. I have been doing this with more so my actions. I have been a far better husband and father since waking up to show her that you can still improve without the help of Watchtower Trac. But I have noticed that she stress when she cant make the meetings or go out in field service. She tell me she feels as if, she is loosing her spirituality. I need help to show her that spirituality is not based on going to the KingdomHall or going out in field service. I need some scriptures that will support what I'm saying and overall some advice on this. Thanks

Thanx Mike ❗️ God bless you ... and your whole family

Wonderfully helpful as I begin my studies on JW and start considering outreach to that community! God bless, Mike!

I always keep the topic on who Jesus is. They do try to talk about anything but.

Currently reading the Forgotten Trinity!

This is absolutely amazing and thank you for sharing Mike. I didn't want to create a new wheel on this matte with family members entrenched in this cult. Excellent point on using their real literature. Bravo!

The forgotten trinity is an excellent read! Loved it!
