  I've found that most of the hurtful and twisted cults base the foundation of their religion on obscure or isolated scriptures that have many possible interpritations. They then ignore the obvious stuff that runs thematically through the whole Bible.

  Newborn, You can know. I was at the same point in my life once. I tried to find out if there was truely ANYTHING real concerning the supernatural or God. There have been organizations, false prophets, false teaching, ect. between you and what your looking for. God said that if you seek Him you will find Him. This is either truth or fantasy. I sought Him through scripture and prayer. I would pray a little, then read a little, always open to hear what He had to say. Soon, things that are nothing short of supernatural began to take place. I have had some thunder and lightning experiences, but mostly he comes in that still small voice. I believe you are sincere. If this is true be patient and he will reveal Himself to you. I have had my own personal encounter and filling of the Holy Ghost. Now I've come to a place where no one could ever convince me otherwise. You can find out for yourself. I'll be praying for you.

  How should I respond to that knock on the door?

  it is as unique as they are.

  what are their interests, hopes, dreams?

  so the first step, i would say, is invite them over for coffee.

  He has the power to add to the scripture and to rule in Christs stead. Close enough for me.

  i was out hiking in the woods of northern california in the late 80's with a good friend.

  at that time, i thought it was cool to just sleep under the stars and enjoy the outdoor experience to the full.

  one night, while camping at a lake that was far up in the mountains and had no one else there, but the two of us (was not a broke back mountain moment, sorry to those who might have wondered .

  to be specific, my brother.

  i've got about 10 jw bibles, but don't know if one of those would be appropriate..

  A study Bible with two or more translations is best. The KJV is easier to memorize, in most cases, and is good no matter what church you go to. With the side by side translations there would be little room for him to not get the basic meaning. A good modern translation is the NASB. It's so good my brother in law used it to cheat in latin and greek class.

  I was unable to complete college when I was young due to my Dad having a stroke. I had to help with a failing family buisness. When everything finally leveled off I was married and working in construction. Without college my choices of employment were limited. College gives you choices. Cults don't want you to have much education or choices. Your too hard to fool or control.
