OK, we could keep this up forever. The more I learn about the JW's, the more questions I think of. So here is what I'm going to do. I going to list some more issues which a Christian should confront a JW with and this will be my last blog on JW's. This means you will have to do your own study about the answers to their never ending contradictions.
JW's believe that man's destiny is life on earth, not in Heaven. Only 144,000 of JW's are in heaven and that number was reached in 1935. Now you only have earth to look forward to. They mainly use the old testament to a form of Judaism.
Your reply is Heb.3:1; John 14:2-3; John 17:20,24; Psalms 37:9,11,29; John10:16 and Rev.7:9
They believe that there is no conscious existence after death-- man's thoughts have perished so they point out using Psalm 146:3-4. Ecclesiastes 9:5, Ezekiel 18:4 and Luke 16:22-28 as a rebuttal.
They believe that death brings annihilation---total nonexistence. They use Ecclesiastes 9:5 for their belief. Rev. 6:9-11; Phil 1:23-24 ; Luke 16 22:23 for rebuttal
JW's believe that they alone, out of all the religions in the world, are God's chosen people and that He named them Jehovah Witnesses and they use Isaiah 43:10 NWT. It says, "You are my witnesses, " is the utterance of Jehovah.
Matt. 7:21-23 proves that it's not what's in a name that counts.
Daniel 10:13,21; 12:1, JW's are taught that Jesus Christ was a mere angel, who was born as a human, died as a sacrifice for sins, and was raised up as an angel once again. They refer to him as "Jesus Christ, whom we understand from the scriptures to be Michael the archangel. study Hebrews 1; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1; John 20:28; Colossians 1:15; Rev. 1:7-8; Rev. 3:14
Well, there's other issues, that you will have to find on your own. I'm tired of JW's right now. I'm glad I studied about them and now I feel I can witness to them in a meaningful way. Now I don't have to send them on their way, just because they are wrong. Now I can show them the real TRUTH. I think my next mission is to talk about ; the Rapture Question. I really need to hear from you if you want to discuss this or not. Awaiting your reply or show of interest.

Eddie, I liked your posts regarding the JW's. I learned quite a bit, but, I am very anxious to read your posts on the rapture. Whenever you want to post that you will have a captive audience. Thank you for the work you do in the name of Jesus Christ!
Thanks Greg, I have been studying this for some time and perhaps as early as next week, I will start. Stay tuned and God bless.
I got excited because two young men knocked on my door today, I thought they may be JW's, but it turns out, they were from the Church of Christ.
I loved your posts on JW's because I am fascinated by other religions. And because I love having the knowledge of the bible to refute the beliefs that are not biblical.
I'm so glad I have a granddaddy who loves Jesus!
