Questions to Ask Jehovah's Witnesses

Often the best way to have a gracious, productive conversation with a Jehovah's Witness is to ask a thoughtful question and then listen. These questions come straight from JW@MyDoor's conversation guides. They are not debate traps — they invite the other person to look at Scripture with you.

Who Jesus is

“If Jesus created "all things" (John 1:3, Colossians 1:16), how could He Himself be created?”

See the full guide: Is Jesus God?

Who Jesus is

“When Thomas said "My Lord and my God" in John 20:28, why did Jesus commend him instead of correcting him?”

See the full guide: Is Jesus God?

The Trinity

“In Acts 5:3-4, Peter says lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God. How can an impersonal "force" be lied to — and be called God?”

See the full guide: The Trinity

The Trinity

“At Jesus' baptism (Matthew 3:16-17), the Son is in the water, the Spirit descends, and the Father speaks from heaven — all at once. How do you explain three at the same moment if there is only one person?”

See the full guide: The Trinity

Jesus & Michael

“Hebrews 1:6 says God commands the angels to worship the Son. If Jesus were Michael, would God command an angel to worship an angel?”

Jesus & Michael

“In Jude 9 Michael won't even rebuke Satan on his own authority, but Jesus commands demons and Satan directly. How can they be the same person?”

The 144,000

“If the number 144,000 is literal and exclusive, why does Revelation call them merely the "firstfruits" — and picture a countless multitude before the same throne?”

See the full guide: Paradise Earth & the 144,000

Salvation

“If salvation is "not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:9), what part could our performance play in earning it?”

See the full guide: How Are We Saved?

Authority

“If the Bereans were commended for checking even an apostle against Scripture (Acts 17:11), why would checking any organization against Scripture be wrong?”

A reminder before you ask

Debate doesn't change minds. Ask gently, listen carefully, and read every verse in context together. If the conversation turns argumentative, pivot to sharing your own story of how Jesus changed you. The goal is to plant seeds and point to Jesus with kindness — not to win. See how to use JW@MyDoor for the full 3-step approach.
