Answering Jehovah's Witnesses

by Jason Evert

One of the best approaches is to 'know the competition,' and in this regard Jason Evert's book will prove to be a useful tool in combating the Jehovah's Witnesses' mindset and doctrines. This work is intended for the 'average Catholic' who has no formal training in theology, and so it is designed to be easily understood and practical. Beginning with the foundations of the Watchtower organization, the author deals with its presidents and history, moves next through the basic structure and content of the Jehovah's Witness' world, and then discusses the various doctrines of the Watchtower and how to refute them. Particular attention is given to some 'favorite verses' and standard topics that a Witness will typically use in attacking the Catholic faith. Finally, some extremely helpful and practical suggestions are offered for how to interact with someone who has become a Jehovah's Witness.

I was initially surprised that Jason Evert wrote this book. I previously associated Evert as being more exclusively knowledgeable in the areas of Christian chastity and modesty. I could not have been more wrong. Evert has outdone himself in writing a book that is very comprehensive and informative. I hope to use the information in this book as a launchpad to engage with Jehovah's Witnesses in the future. Please pray for me in this regard.

Easy read with a lot of good information about what Jehovah's Witnesses believe and how their beliefs are contradicted by the Bible. It quotes a lot of Bible verses and provides logical arguments that you can use when talking with Jehovah's Witnesses.

Goes point by point that the JWs make. Which is good for the apologetically challenged like moi.

Great book with comprehensive explanations and answers to all JW stuff. Would like to know for sure if this is still up to date (I think I have an older copy) but other than that, a great and helpful book.

It's great resource for understanding JW's strange beliefs and their inaccurate interpretation of the bible. Now, I know why JW provides much resistance when it comes to debates.
