Wealth of Information This message is packed with information about JW's. It provides detailed reasons why people in the group are so resistant to hearing the truth of the Gospel: independent thinking is discouraged, obedience to the group is synonymous with obedience to God,access to outside information tightly controlled. They have changed definitions of christian terminology (Jesus is Son of God but not God the Son, Jesus is Lord but not Deity; Jesus is created being, the reincarnation of the archangel, Michael). They have changed the definition of a lie to be: an untruth told to someone who is entitled to know the truth. If you are not entitled to know the truth, then the untruth is not a lie. Who, then, decides who the people are who allowed to know the truth and who aren't? They believe that Jehovah God speaks directly to and through their leaders. This presenter offers valuable techniques to help break through barriers that keep the JW's loyal to their leaders so they will have the opportunity to have their ears and hearts opened to hear the true Gospel of Jesus. We need to pray daily for this group of people. They are trying so hard to be "good enough" to earn eternal life that all the doorbell ringing will never be able to provide.
Powerful Witnessing! This message provides 3 amazing presentations regarding Jesus (2 concerning His identity as God Almighty) to share with JW's when they come knocking on our doors. All presentations use only a few Bible passages for simplicity and ease for
someone like myself ( never been
at ease with witnessing to the JW's
who come to the door VERY PREPARED).
But in this message, Lorri MacGregor
takes you through each presentation
step by step ( note taking helps).
Her presentations also demonstrate
the clarity and veracity of God's Word
to us. The presentations include
proof of Christ within us from 2 Corinthians 13:5, Jesus as God from
prophecy in Zechariah 11 and 12 and
the presentation entitled, " The First
and the Last" from Revelation 1 and 22,
which is so amazingly brilliant that I
am still reeling from it. I have had
it on my heart for some time now to
at least attempt to witness to the JW's
who come to the door but felt very
inadequate. I am very grateful to
Sermon Audio for providing so many
excellent messages on Jehovah Witnesses - their beliefs, lifestyle,
organization - all are important to understand the JW perspective and for the many effective witnessing
techniques from the various presenters. Sermon Audio is a treasure trove of information!

Food For Thought! The presenter provides a wealth of information in this message. He mentioned that the JW's have changed
the definition of a "lie" to mean: saying something false to someone WHO
IS ENTITLED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. I wonder how they determine who is entitled to know the truth and who isn't? I did some checking. This
changed definition of a lie comes from a JW doctrine called Theocratic War
Doctrine/Strategy. It's very interesting. A christian website called Witness, Inc. (Duane Magnani)
has more information on this doctrine
for anyone who is interested. He has
a great deal of literature to help
witness to JW's and a booklet is available entitled Theocratic War
Doctrine by Dr. Jerry Bergman, who
was a former JW Elder, that describes
this doctrine in great detail. It
is fascinating reading. Other great
websites for JW witnessing are
www.4witness.org and www4jehovah.org
and www.christianwitnesses.com. Whoever this presenter is, thank you
for so much valuable information. I
have learned so much from all the wonderful sermons on sermon audio.
What a blessing!
Thought Provoking! I looked up all the bible verses mentioned using Bible Gateway - KJV,
NIV, NASB and ESV. Unbelievable. In the NIV, Jesus is the morning star in Rev but satan is the morning star in
Isaiah 14. In Luke 11, the reference to our Father in heaven and delivering us from evil are missing in the NIV.
Matthew 17:21 is missing in the NIV,
ESV and NKJV. Matt 18:11 is missing in the NIV and ESV. Mark 9:44 and 46
are missing in the NIV and ESV. It
gives pause for concern especially with Mark 9:44 and 46 because Jesus was repeating information about hell. Our
pastor has always told us that when
Jesus repeats something in the Bible,
it is really important to listen up
so I don't know why other translations would eliminate verses that Jesus appears to have been emphasizing. I
know there is controversy regarding
1 John 5:7. Some people say this verse was not in the older manuscripts and
that it appeared in later manuscripts copied by Greek orthodox church but
I have no idea if that is correct or not. What I do know is that I need
to ask my pastor about these discrepancies and maybe I should
get to the bookstore and get myself a KJV translation very soon. Now, I
need to listen to the rest of the
message about the JW issues. I have
learned a lot from this message.
Very Important Information! Thank you for such important and useful information. Anyone involved with
Jehovah Witnesses would benefit from
listening to this message. I have
also visited his website, Witness, Inc.
where one is able to obtain a FREE
DVD on Jehovah Witnesses and Child
Custody information. The website
also contains much other valuable
resources that is so helpful for
people dealing with situations
involving Jehovah Witnesses. Thank
you, Mr. Magnani. May God continue
to bless you and your ministry.
Blessed! Thank you for providing such vitally important information on the Jehovah
Witness Cult. The Lord has used you
powerfully in this message. Every
christian on the planet should listen
to this message. May God continue to
bless you and your ministry.
