Deep dives

Engaging with Jehovah's Witnesses

The speaker recounts a recent encounter with Jehovah's Witnesses, describing their visits as infrequent due to his previous confrontations with their beliefs. He detailed a past instance where he flagged down two Jehovah's Witnesses who intentionally avoided his house after he challenged their teachings with evidence from their own translations of the Bible. When they eventually visited again, he initiated a conversation where he shared his understanding of John 1, emphasizing the biblical assertion of Jesus’ divinity, which contradicts their beliefs. The speaker noted that the conversation was cut off by the Witnesses whenever he presented compelling arguments, highlighting their tendency to redirect discussions when faced with difficult truths.
