Bible Answer: Hello Christian 7! Having been involved in a Christian ministry that witnesses to Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, let me encourage you to know why you believe what you believe. Prof. Walter Martin, the leading authority on cult groups prior to his going Home, said "The average Jehovah's Witness can turn a Christian into a theological pretzel in a matter of minutes!" You will never be able to reach your friend by "arguing" Scripture. Yes, you need to do what I Pet. 3:15 says: "...sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" But praying for him is THE number one thing you can do. And be sure to share your testimony with him and tell him what Jesus has done for you and what He continues to do for you daily. Jehovah's Witness have no relationship with the Lord Jesus. And remember, too, their meaning of words are NOT the same as evangelical words. Example: Jesus to them is a created being, the "firstborn of all creation" that Jehovah (the Father) made; hell is only the grave.
