Jehovah's Witnesses

I always start with the good person test when witnessing to people and then deal with the objections.

Carm.org is a great place to see what they are supposed to believe.

Phil 2:9-11 “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
