I think the Lord told me to have staying power and don't wilt and back away from this one group I have come to know I'll say one thing. They certainly are prepared. You can't go anywhere that they are not prepared for. Yet they get exponentially more training in doctrine and "how to witness" than many Christians do. Yet that doesn't make them right. Walter Martin who wrote "Kingdom of the Cults" said JWs can make a doctrinal pretzel out of many Christians in about 30 seconds. Maybe so but I'm not shook. They did their the name of God is Jehovah thing on me today and asked me to research their claims. We will get back together. About 45 minutes of research has told me pretty much what I need to know as far as responding to them on this issue goes but I may do some more. I believe if circumstances arise meeting with these groups and discussing issues is not necessarily an inherent evil. Lifting up the real Christ is paramount.

The only translation trusted by JW's. ______________________________No JW I've ever spoken with has ever been able to explain the words used in this verse from their own translation.
I will certainly remember that. Thank you.
If you want to rattle their cage... just ask them to bow their heads as YOU pray for wisdom. (if you do pray keep your eyes on them... I've seen JW's panic as they think you are praying to Satan).
