“Kicked out of the Kingdom”, is a book by Charles Trombley, and the book was given to me yesterday.
I have not quite finished reading the 182 pages, but it is the story about a Jehovah’s Witness who tells how the Lord Jesus Christ became Lord and Master of his life.
WHAT A BOOK: It took me not many hours to read it.
I see already that this book will help me greatly when talking to Jehovah’s Witnesses, what I have done already quite a bit in the past. I am thinking especially about what they are thinking about SALVATION.
My first contact with Jehovah’s Witnesses was in Germany many many years ago before I became a child of God. At that time I wanted to know the meaning to life.
Here in Kaitaia at the moment the Jehovah’s Witnesses are going door to door advertising a special meeting at the Kingdom Hall.
You can also see them at the Kaitaia market on Saturday with their literature. You find them also on the Main Street in Kataia with their literature. I have also seen them at Mangonui and Russell. As mentioned before, I have had conversations with quite a number of them.
What are the Jehovah’s Witnesses teaching about salvation?
You can earn your salvation. How can you do that?
You are earning points.
And there is more of course. (Get hold of the book “Kicked out of the Kingdom”, by Charles Trombley.)
