C R I T I Q U E by Betty Bruechert F ollowing are some suggestions, in answer to the question, “ H ow Can W e H elp Jehovah’s W itnesses?” w h ich appeared in the Nov. 1, 1961 A llia n ce W itn ess and w h ich are re produced (in condensed form ) b y the kind perm ission of this magazine. M r. T ed D encher, the author, is a form er Jehovah’s W itness, and for young Christians he advises: “ A fter greetings, thank the person for com in g to see y ou . . . I f you real ly w ant to take h im b y surprise, say: ‘I thank the Lord for sending you to m y door this m orn ing.’ T h en iden tify yourself . . . say that y ou are a Christian, not b y y ou r original birth, but b y spiritual birth w h ich y ou attained b y confessing Jesus Christ as y ou r Saviour. “ Y ou should have some good printed material handy to give to the representative. T h e w riter has special literature available w h ich can be used for this purpose. Or you m igh t like to use any good Gospel literature available. O ffer it along w ith some th ing id en tifyin g the chu rch w ith w h ich you are affiliated . . . Hand this to the Jehovah’s W itness, saying: ‘Please take this and read it w ith your Bible as soon as you get back home this afternoon !’ A note of u r gen cy in your voice w ou ld not be out of the way. F in ally, offer to pray for this person. Y ou m igh t say something like this: ‘P rayer availed m u ch in m y life, especially the prayers o f others on m y behalf before I became a Chris tian. So I shall be rem em bering you in earnest prayer. Please com e back again.’ ” For those w h o are more mature Christians, and better acquainted w ith the W ord , M r. D encher sug gests: “ Challenge the W itness. Ask him : ‘Y ou do not believe in Christ as I do, do you? That is, you do not accept H im as equal w ith the Fath-, er, the Second Person o f the T riun e G odhead?’ T h e Jehovah’s W itness w ill have to adm it that he does not. T h en you say, ‘W e ll, I can prove to you from the Bible, that H e is what I say H e is’ ” . . . Arrange a time for a discussion; get his telephone num ber and give h im a ca ll . . . I f you w ill stick to the subject of the deity o f Christ, you w ill never go w rong.”
