WITNESSIING TO JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES & THEIR CHILDREN

 

When witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses, whether at your door or other situations, remember that the goal is to win hearts and minds, not arguments. If you are hostile or argumentative with a Jehovah's Witness you will only convince him that he is right.

Also, keep in mind that even if their children are not Jehovah's Witnesses and are not convinced that Jehovah's Witnesses have the only true Christian religion and that the Watchtower Society is God's channel of truth, the children of Jehovah’s Witnesses are normally under tremendous emotional pressure to conform, and Jehovah’s Witnesses normally require their children to identify themselves as Jehovah's Witnesses, teach Watchtower teachings, and sell Watchtower literature or distribute free tracts. If you come across a child or youth like that and you are hostile or argumentative this may help convince him that Jehovah’s Witnesses are right and that he should join the cult.

Be friendly and show that you care about them as you share your testimony and the gospel and thought-provoking questions, and, while you should not be expecting to convert anyone overnight, you can expect them to think seriously about what you said for a long time, even if they initially shrug it off.
