A Jehovah's Witness doesn't have time for me

Sorry. Not too much to tell this morning. The streets were not really crawling with people. But I was able to pass out a couple of handfuls of tracts and have a few really good chats. One of the talks was with Jory and David. Both of these guys claim that they were Christians so our conversation was pretty much Law and Grace. They are both really friendly guys. I was then able to have a one-to-one with Roy. Our conversation was cut short but he did take a few tracts so I pray he gets to check them out. This morning I really didn’t want to talk to any Jehovah’s Witnesses but God kept pressing it on my heart. As I continued down the sidewalk I noticed two JW’s ladies that I have talked to in the past. So I stopped by asking them this question…

“Excuse me. We have talked a few times in the past so I know that you are a Jehovah Witness. How long have you been a Witness?”

They both just stared at me silently….

I continued, “The reason I ask that is because I have a question that I would like to have answered if you don’t mind.”

One lady replied, “We have talked to you several times before and we just don’t have time for you”

The other JW lady gave her input too. She said, “Yes, we just don’t have time for this.” With that they turned and walked away.

I also turned away but once they got about 10 yards away or so I turned back toward them and lifted my voice to say, “What if I wasn’t saved? What if I was going to die today? Would you have time then?” I probably said this a little louder than I should have but I wanted to get my point across.

So many of the JW’s that I talk to have been completely brainwashed by the Watchtower or they have hardened their own heart against the God that created them and wants to save them from their sins. Tears began to well up in the back of my eyes, not because my feelings were hurt but because I was praying for God’s mercy to them. I pray that it is not too late for these ladies and that God will show mercy by breaking their self-righteous heart in true repentance and faith to our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

So Christian, my question to them is my question to you. What if you knew someone that wasn’t saved? What if they were going to die today? Would you have time for them then? Make time! Go and make disciples with fear and trembling, in respect, honor and obedience to Him.

"What if you knew someone that wasn’t saved? What if they were going to die today?"

Well, that could include thousands of people. Happily Acts 24:15 states "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." Of course we cannot reach them all but this promise from God assures us that even the "unsaved" will be resurrected and have a chance to attain to repentance during the 1000 year reign of Christ.

The important thing to do now is teach those who are willing to listen (John 17:3; Matt 28:19,20) so that they can conform their life to obey the things they learn. (John 3:36; 1 John 5:3)

And, of course, to do that, these ones have to be "sighing and groaning over the detestable things" going on in the name of God today (Ezek 9:4)and be open to the truth.

Hello CAT!

Thank you for sending me a post. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "a chance to attain to repentance during the 1000 year reign of Christ."? Are you a Witness or LDS? Where is it exactly that you are coming from? Please email me directly at ty@furtherthekingdom.com

God bless!
