Top Highlights

“To answer the JW claim that the Holy Spirit is a mere impersonal force, emphasize to Witnesses that the Bible repeatedly refers to the Holy Spirit as having personal attributes. For example, even their own New World Translation reveals that the Spirit speaks (Acts 13:2), bears witness (John 15:26), says whatever he hears (John 16:13), feels hurt (Isa. 63:10), and so forth.” (Page 22)

“But the Witnesses soon switched the ‘Bible study’ to a Watchtower book study and led their new disciples to an idolized organization, instead of to God.” (Page 9)

“between the years 1931 and 1952, JWs had to refuse vaccinations for themselves and their children” (Page 23)

“The seven ‘days’ of the Genesis creation account were each seven thousand years long” (Page 12)

“Millions now living will never die!’ is a familiar Jehovah’s Witness slogan” (Page 14)
