The cult known at the Jehovah’s Witnesses is out and about trying to make you think they are Christians. They are not. They twist the terms of the Christian faith. (Hat tip to Heal The Land With Spiritual Warfare for that 2nd link.)
When they come to your door, be prepared. Like the Mormons, they don’t believe there is a Trinity. A triune God, that is 3 working in concert as one God. Of course there are plenty of resources telling the truth about the Trinity. Be sure to share this truth and others about the Christian faith with those who visit your house. It might be the only opportunity to give them the real truth and save them from a cult.
Another example of their twisted doctrine, is that while many Christian resources about the Jehovah’s Witnesses note that JWs don’t believe in the resurrection, the person coming to your door might tell you that they do. This is because the Jehovah’s Witnesses totally twist what the resurrection really is. See the entry for “Materialization (of Jesus)” in that twisted list of terms. Their faith is not our faith.
Help the lost to know the truth. When one of these lost souls comes to your home, if you feel prepared then don’t keep your door shut. Give them the truth. They will deny all that you show them and show you their own twists on scripture by mangling verses to try and make their point, but give it to them anyway. They need somebody to tell them they are being misled and they are isolated from engaging people outside of their group at all other times. So them coming to your door might be the only chance for them to find a way out of that cult through a true understanding of Jesus Christ.
If you really intend to engage them in deep Biblical battle, know that they play on terms continually. They twists them and sometime lead you to think they believe as you do when they do not. When they realize you are not buying it, they will cite verses without giving the full context. Of course they will make excuses about what you show them. They seem to prefer the English Standard Version of the Bible. Nothing wrong with that version of the Word in my book, but they prefer it for their effort to twist terms. If you ensure that you can speak effectively to that particular translation of the Word you’ll really tie them in knots, but they’ll never let you know it. Just the same, you have to get them to start seeing their organization is misleading them and pray God works on them towards full deliverance to The Truth.
In addition to the links provided above, please also read: Who is at Your Door?- Jehovah’s Witnesses are well known for their tracts and door-to-door preaching, but what exactly do they believe?
When I was young and owned dogs, I’d put a dog at the door step so they would not come near. But now I’m older, wiser and I play the role of the dog, biting them with the truth
.
Prepare yourself, to defend what you believe and engage in dialog, to show the truth to the lost. I figure if I can’t show it to someone coming to my doorstep, I’ll never be able to reach out to the rest of the world.

Trinity = 1 X 1 X 1, or “One Cubed” as the late Saturday night show for teens on TCT.TV goes. Its in the Bible, and if you deny the Bible you are a fool for whom there is no hope.

Ironically, I had a JW tell me the other day, that marriage is 2 people coming together as one, but then tried to claim the Trinity is untrue. I looked at the JW and said “you understand that 2 people married become 1, but you can’t understand how 3 are one God?” The JW of course could do nothing but the old spin, lie and deny routine in response. That JW knew I had tripped their own lesson against them.
And JWs claim that since Jesus did the will of the Father, that means Jesus is less than the Father. (They feel Jesus is a “lesser god”.) Yet they don’t claim woman is less than man, when in marriage a woman is to submit to her husband, while the 2 work together as one and the man must respect the woman. Here on earth they can see a simulated form working and totally agree with it. But show them how it’s working in the Bible and they suddenly deny it’s there. Because the lying Watchtower organization tells them not to believe it.
I firmly believe, that if more of us seriously engaged them on a scriptural level when they approached our doorsteps, that they’d lose members fast.
