1 John 5:11-13 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal
                life, and this life is in his Son.  He that hath the Son hath life; and he
                that hath not the Son of God hath not life.  These things have I written
                unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know

                that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son
                of God."

                After the JW has read that last verse, read it again for emphasis and then
                urge him to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to save him from the
                lake of fire and give him everlasting life right now.



                I don't believe it's a "compromise" to use their version in such a situation, as
                long as you don't endorse it or call it "scripture" or the "word of God."  You
                are simply treating it as a paraphrase that happens to communicate certain
                facts.  The idea is, "If I show you some verses from your translation, will
                you believe it is accurately representing what God said?"  (By the way, if
                and when it's practical to carry it, you can buy your own copy of the NWT in
                a used bookstore and highlight the verses ahead of time.)  You may say, "But

                the  NWT  is  not  the  word  of  God;  I  thought  you  said  'faith  cometh  by
                hearing, and hearing by the word of God' (Romans 10:17)."  Well, during
                your conversation, you can casually QUOTE from MEMORY supplementary
                verses from the KJB without saying that the NWT changed them.  Anyways,
                if a lost person sincerely accepts the facts of the gospel from any  source,
                God can bypass their ears and eyes and speak His word directly into their
                heart.  Many English-speaking people were saved before a flawless English
                Bible existed.  Is this an excuse to use corrupt bible versions routinely when

                you have a choice not to?  Not if you have any reverence.  (See Appendix 1)

                                           "BEATING A DEAD HORSE"

                If there's any person with which you will need extra help in reaching, it's a
                JW.  After a long conversation with the average JW, you will notice a mental
                block to any logical reasoning that will feed any amount of evidence in one

                ear  and  out  the  other.    This  is  because  the  leaders  of  the  JW  cult  have
                become experts in mind-control.  JWs are so thoroughly brainwashed, you
                will need a miracle to penetrate their psyche.  If you know ahead of time that
