  How to convince someone to question the authority of the WT

  i have someone in my family that is a jw and she has engaged me in conversation.

  for the record, i consider myself an evangelical christian.

  after some debate and research, i backed out of a verse by verse debate and switched the convo to get on some common ground, asking if she believe the bible was the inspired word of god.

  Maybe this will help:

  Have your family member read Acts 1 and Isaiah 43.

  Ask who is speaking in each chapter. Is there a command that we should follow? The answer should be "no". Then ask by whose authority do you call yourself one of Jehovah's Witnesses if there is no scriptural command to do so?

  Next, read Romans 10 and Matthew 11.

  Again, ask who is speaking and what instruction has been given in each chapter? If she hasn't applied this instruction, ask by whose authority has she rejected it and why?
