Witnessing To Jehovah's Witnesses

We have information on what Jehovah's Witnesses believe and tools for those who want to know how to witness to Jehovah's Witnesses.

What do Jehovah's Witnesses believe that is different from what Christians believe?

1. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that God is only using the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Organization to guide His people today.  The Scriptures say nothing about this, but the Scriptures teach that God's people are lead by the Holy Spirit moving through His people.  It is true that God has used the Apostles and Prophets for guidance & authority and
   God works through the body of Christ, but nothing in the New Testament teaches there will be only one religious organization for guidance and truth.

2. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only the Father is God and that the Trinity doctrine is a lie from Satan.  Christians also believe that the Father is identified as being by nature God, but the Bible teaches there is one God revealed in three distinct personages. (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)

3. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is a created god, also known as Michael the archangel.  The Bible teaches that Jesus is by nature eternally God and is the Creator of all things.  Jesus is not a created god but the very God of creation, and that includes Him creating Michael.

4. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Holy Spirit is God's power surge or active force, not a distinct person.  The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is used to accomplish things, but in no way does the Bible teach that the Holy Spirit is not a personage. 

5. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that a person must be a part of their religious organization in order to be saved and have eternal life.  The Scriptures do not teach you have to be a part of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society for eternal life, but the Scriptures teach that if a person comes to know the Jesus of the Bible and put their trust in Him they will have eternal life.

The above 5 points are just the tip of the iceberg on what Jehovah's Witnesses believe compared to what Christians believe.  However, Jehovah's Witnesses do believe the Bible to be the Word of God and that is where truth is found.  So, when witnessing to Jehovah's Witnesses the Bible is the common ground which can be agreed upon for truth vs. error.
