You can listen to my May 14, 2016 interview on Agustin Astacio’s online radio show. Our subject was “Getting Through to Jehovah’s Witnesses.” I gave my testimony and discussed the work I am doing on the blog and the book I am writing.
The interview itself begins at about the 30 minute mark and lasts approximately 1 1/2 hours.

I never try to talk Jehovah’s Witnesses out of calling God “Jehovah.” The problem is that the Watchtower claims that we must use that name and address him as “Jehovah” whenever we pray to him.
But is that really true? Continue reading
Witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses can be very frustrating. Sometimes you feel like you’re hitting your head against a brick wall. Sometimes the Witnesses just walk away.
I want to make clear that I don’t claim to have an infallible method for getting through to them. No one does. There is no set of Bible passages or collection of cleverly worded arguments that are guaranteed to show a Jehovah’s Witness that the Watchtower is wrong.
That said, there are some approaches that work better than others—and I will be sharing many of them with you based on my more than 40 years of efforts to reach them. I’ll also be asking you to interact with this blog and give us the benefit of your own experiences.
Let’s face it. Many Christians go out of their way to avoid talking with Jehovah’s Witnesses.
When we see them coming, we pull the curtains and pretend we’re not home.
If that doesn’t work, we say, “No thank you. I have my own religion,” and send them on their way.
Why do we do this? Why do we call ourselves evangelical Christians and then refuse to talk about Jesus when we are presented with a golden opportunity? Jehovah’s Witnesses sometimes virtually beg us to discuss God and salvation with them, and still we won’t do it.
Why? I think there are several reasons.
This blog is NOT about bashing Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Quite the opposite.
It’s about Christians loving Jehovah’s Witnesses enough to share the gospel with them effectively and show them from the Bible where the Watchtower organization is wrong.
