Recently I had a conversation with a JW and walked them through Genesis Chapter 18 and 19 using their NWT Bible. They were perplexed to find out their translation says Jehovah appeared as a man to Abraham with 2 angels. Of course they had no explanation for this, but we know this was Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. This is a great conversation starter to have with a JW to share the gospel

Afterward, Jehovaha appeared to him among the big trees of Mamʹreb while he was sitting at the entrance of the tent during the hottest part of the day. 2  He looked up and saw three men standing some distance from him.c When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to meet them, and he bowed down to the ground. 3  Then he said: “Jehovah, if I have found favor in your eyes, please do not pass by your servant. Genesis 18:1-3

1. Jehovah appeared to Abraham
2. NWT describes Jehovah as 3 men
3. Abraham ran to them and bowed down (worshiped)
4. Abraham addressed the man as Jehovah

  He then took butter and milk and the young bull that he had prepared and set the food before them. Then he stood by them under the tree as they were eating Genesis 18:8

Verse 8 continues to say the men were eating, if this is Jehovah how is he eating like a human?

 Then Jehovah said to Abraham: “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Am I really going to give birth even though I am old?’ 14  Is anything too extraordinary for Jehovah? Genesis 18:13-14

The scripture clearly says “Jehovah said to Abraham” it was Jehovah who identified himself talking to Sarah

20  Then Jehovah said: “The outcry against Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah is indeed great,p and their sin is very heavy.q 21  I will go down to see whether they are acting according to the outcry that has reached me. And if not, I can get to know it.”r Genesis 18:20-21

Again notice Jehovah said “I will go down to Sodom and Gomorrah”

  The two angels arrived at Sodʹom by evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodʹom. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the earth.a Genesis 19:1

In the next Chapter it says the 2 angels met Lot, how many men met Abraham? It was 3, so the third man is missing, he is not identified as an angel like the other 2. 

27  Now Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Jehovah. Genesis 19:27

New World Translation confirms that Abraham stood before Jehovah, which was Jesus Christ, the Son of God in human form. If a JW denies this they have to deny thier own Bible translation

A great conversation starter to talk to JW’s is “Who Raised Jesus from the dead?”

30  But God raised him up from the dead, Acts 13:30 (NWT)

The New Word Translation confirms God raised Jesus from the dead, now ask them to look at the next scriptures in their Bible

19  Jesus replied to them: “Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”l 20  The Jews then said: “This temple was built in 46 years, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21  But he was talking about the temple of his body.m 22  When, though, he was raised up from the dead, his disciples recalled that he used to say this,n and they believed the scripture and what Jesus had spoken. John 2:19-22 (NWT)

The NWT clearly documents that Jesus said he would raise himself from the dead, when I discussed this with JW’s they understood Jesus was declaring himself to be God. If they truly are honest and believe their scriptures, Jesus declares he is God in their own Bible

Now the question about the Trinity will come up and this is where the conversation will probably go off the rails, try to keep them on the path, lets look at the next scripture in their Bible

11  If, now, the spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised up Christ Jesus from the deadp will also make your mortal bodies aliveq through his spirit that resides in you. Romans 8:11 (NWT)

Ask them who is this scripture talking about “Spirit of Him (Jehovah)” this is clearly talking about the Holy Spirit. In their Bible it states “The Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead” So from their Bible we can clearly see, Jehovah the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit raised Christ from the dead

19  Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations,o baptizing themp in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, Matthew 28:19 (NWT)

You can end with the “Great Commision” giving by Christ, why did Jesus feel the need to mention Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? It should aleast plant a seed for the Holy Spirit if they truly care about the truth of God
