1. Introduction to Jehovah's Witnesses - Paul M. Williams

Part 1 As of 2023, there are approximately 8.8 million Jehovah's Witnesses globally, spread across 239 countries.  Between September 2022 and August 2023, 1.8 billion hours were spent in the field of service publishing the news of Jehovah's Kingdom with an average of 7.3 million Bible studies being conducted each month.  If you compare this with the average amount of hours spent in outreach by Evangelicals, it is shameful on the part of us who profess to have the truth.  Concerning missionary zeal, one cannot fault Jehovah's Witnesses for their witnessing endeavours  – it's in their DNA.  What do they have to show for all of this effort?  Last year saw just short of 270,000 people baptised into the dedication of Jehovah's service.  That's just over a quarter of a million people, won over to a cult!   In this introductory teaching, we peel back the veneer of the exterior to uncover what Jehovah's Witnesses believe and teach.  Download teaching notes (pdf) https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bethesdashalom/1._Introduction_to_Jehovahs_Witnesses.pdf
