Personal Testimony.
Pastor Price below spent all his life witnessing to "Jehovah Witnesses" and for all Christian this should be one of our goals also.
I'm sharing Pastor Prices material so we all can be more knowable and informed on the best way to share God's word with these people and not to walk by on the other side.

Pastor Price's Testimony:
In the late 1920’s one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, (then known as International Bible Students) called on my mother and began to share with her the teachings of the Watchtower Society. My mother was deeply impressed with the sincerity and zeal of this lady, but as time went by doubts began to grow concerning this organization.
The magazines and books which the Society published during the past fifty years had many false prophecies, contradictory doctrines, altered and even bizarre teachings.
The Society’s prophecies concerning 1914, 1918, 1920, and 1925 had all failed to take place. (Years later the 1975 prophecy would be another to add to the list!)
The Society taught that Christ’s Return took place in 1874 then the date was altered to 1914. The Resurrection which was taught to have taken place in 1878, had then to be changed to 1918. The 1874 and 1878 dates had all been “proved” by the “pyramid prophecies”. To accommodate the new dates the Society changed the dimensions of the Great pyramid by adding to its passages an extra forty inches in the later editions of its books!
It had prophesied that in 1925 the Kingdom would be set up on the earth and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob etc. would be resurrected to administer it. The mansion “Beth Sarim” was built in California for them to occupy even though the book The Way to Paradise p.225 had described how Abraham would live and operate in Jerusalem!
Finally my mother read in the book, Reconciliation page 14 that the throne of Jehovah God was on one of the stars of the Pleiades, in the Milky Way. She then knew that she would have to look elsewhere to find truth.
When a Seventh-day Adventist called at her door she began a series of Bible studies with them. Soon she realized that at last she had found the Bible truth for which she had been searching. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized. For the rest of her life she worked zealously to share with family and friends Bible truth. She had no doubt that the Adventists were the people described in the last days just before Christ’s Return: “...here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12.
Although my mother never joined the Jehovah’s Witnesses, she never lost her love and concern for them. From a small child she instilled in me a burden to work with pen and voice for these sincere and zealous people.
It has been my joy to personally witness the baptism of well over 200 of these people who have found salvation in Jesus Christ and become very happy and dedicated workers for Jesus Christ.
The above quotations from their own publications urge their people to examine what they believe and find the truth.
