The 10 Most Important Things You Can Say to a Jehovah’s Witness by Ron Rhodes

February 6, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Description:

This 128-page paperback was written to complement Rhodes’ 1993 book, Reasoning From the Scriptures With the Jehovah’s Witnesses, which I reviewed in an earlier blog article in this series.

It is doctrinal in focus and, in length, “short on purpose.” Organized into 10 primary points the reader should make to Witnesses, each chapter contrasts Watchtower errors with the biblical position and suggests a relatively small number of questions and points which the reader can present to Witnesses to challenge Watchtower teachings.

A final “Digging Deeper” paragraph ends each chapter by citing pages in Rhodes’ 1993 book where the reader can find more information.

According to Rhodes, the 10 most important things you need to get across to a Jehovah’s Witness are as follows: Continue reading

Description:

This book was written to was written to complement the author’s 1986 book entitled Jehovah’s Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse. His stated goal is to “help readers quickly understand the basics of the group’s history, changing doctrinal stances, and distinctive ideas.”

In the preface, Reed explains that Answering Jehovah’s Witnesses Subject by Subject is not merely his earlier book reshuffled into a different format. Rather, he added new material in response to new Watchtower arguments. He notes that some of these issues don’t lend themselves well to the earlier verse-by-verse format.

In the opening section, “How to Use This Book,” Reed recommends using the book in different ways depending on your purpose. If you are looking to learn about the Watchtower religion, you can read the book cover to cover. If you are currently dialoguing with Witnesses on a particular subject, you can quickly find the subject in the book (its headings are in alphabetical order). You can also quickly move from one section of the book to related entries by utilizing the cross-references. Continue reading

Approaching Jehovah’s Witnesses in Love by Wilbur Lingle

January 16, 2018 / / 2 Comments

Description:

When Wilbur Lingle was pastoring a church in Japan, Jehovah’s Witnesses began  converting some members of his congregation. He engaged the Witnesses in conversation himself but made little progress as he tried to reason with them on various doctrinal issues.

After hearing the testimonies of a number of ex-Witnesses, Lingle came to the conclusion that the most effective approach would be to focus on the unreliability of the Watchtower organization. He states, “As I continued to deal with as many J.W.’s as possible, I kept coming up with more thought-provoking questions to ask the Witnesses concerning the Watchtower organization.” (p. 11) Continue reading

Description:

Reasoning from the Scriptures with the Jehovah’s Witnesses is a 458-page paperback that has sold over 100,000 copies.

Each chapter deals with a specific doctrinal issue. It begins with a summary of Watchtower teaching on that topic. It then discusses and refutes the major arguments made by the Watchtower and explains and defends the Christian alternative. The chapter then presents highlighted “Ask…” segments, questions the reader can ask the Witnesses to show them the flaws in the Watchtower’s reasoning.

Rhodes then draws upon and expands on witnessing do’s and don’ts recommended by the late cult expert, Dr. Walter Martin. This five-page concluding chapter gives the reader four do’s and two don’ts regarding witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses.  

Reasoning From the Scriptures With the Jehovah’s Witnesses contains the following chapters: Continue reading
