while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.

Reverse Witnessing - Will NEVER work!

by MissConfused in

its been a while since i spoke up.

after a lot of 'tactful' questioning, i have come under the conclusion that witnessing ttatt with dubs will never work.

there is nothing called reasoning with them.

Bangalore

A simple question poised to my close relative - If Jehovah and Jesus were to come in front of you and say that this Org - WTBTS was a false religion would you agree, and they said NO...

This says it all.
