They believe in the command by Jesus Christ to “make disciples” (literally in Greek ‘make learners’) as found at Matthew 28:19,20. So there is a very real possibility that they will be knocking on your door someday, if they have not done so already. Call or go to the local Kingdom Hall in your area, and request one.

Consider the case of Steve and Selma highlighted in The Watchtower of February 15, 2012. When Selma tried to prove a point to Steve he became violent and hit her. Rather than feel sorry for herself Selma was encouraged to make adjustments and be more Christian towards Steve. Years later Steve himself became a Witness. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/8/81/Become-one-of-Jehovah%27s-Witnesses-Step-6. jpg/v4-460px-Become-one-of-Jehovah%27s-Witnesses-Step-6. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/8/81/Become-one-of-Jehovah%27s-Witnesses-Step-6. jpg/aid72689-v4-728px-Become-one-of-Jehovah%27s-Witnesses-Step-6. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

This “slave” is known as the Governing Body. To become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses means accepting the authority of this “faithful slave”, who it is believed are providing spiritual food at the proper time. For example, The Watchtower of July 15, 2013 said “It is vital that we recognize the faithful slave. Our spiritual health and our relationship with God depend on this channel. " (page 20). More recently, The Watchtower of February 2022 emphasized “During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical. Of course, Jehovah will not speak to us personally. He will likely provide direction through his appointed representatives.
