Jehovahs Witnesses are a unique group of people. You may have seen Jehova Witnesses in the news or seen their documentary Knocking on PBS. However, little is known about the true history of Jehovahs Witnesses. They love to witness to others and are well known for going door to door, but witnessing to Jehovahs Witnesses is another story.
Thanks to the world wide web it is getting easier to find Jehovahs Witness information. You do need to be discerning however. Not all of the information is true or accurate. As with any group or organization it is important to investigate thoroughly BEFORE JOINING. I cannot emphasize this enough. A lot of groups will not let you read any other's information after you have already joined. At least they will make it difficult and you could be labeled as too independent or even rebellious.
The Bible itself warns of false prophets and that we should make sure of all things before making an important decision and hold on to only what is good. (1 Thess. 5:21)
This would be especially important if a group or organization is claiming to have The Truth and speak as God's mouthpiece on earth. So do not be made to feel scared for investigation and making sure a group holds up to their assertions.
What though if you have already joined the group. What if you change your mind or new information comes to light? The Bible makes clear that we should be loyal to God and not to men. He makes clear also in Psalms (145:18) that He is near to all who call on Him. So, if a group of men are not what they seem, God seeks those that are seeking Him and obey God as ruler. Do not be misled or manipulated. God knows the hearts of men and looks for sincerity. Whether you already belong to a group or are considering certain group.....follow your HEART. Pray for God's guidance and help as well as others you know and trust.
