Bible bookshops usually have a list of JW vs christianity books. Pray for your husband. It's your best defense.
God bless
(PS. If there isn't a big bible bookshop in your area, you should be able to find one online fairly easily. I usually go through '
Koorong' but I think that's based in australia, so for the UK I don't know.
That's the kind of thing you want to be looking for though.
Often the bigger bookshops will have a whole 'christian cult' section and you can often find small or condensed booklets that sum up the scriptures each group use to back up their beliefs and how to refute them.
Don't let go of Jesus, that is
really important. JW's don't accept biblical christianity as it stands and they'll try to take it from you. They want you to believe their ideas and theirs only. That's why they're referred to as a 'cult' by mainstream christianity. You prayed that this man was 'right' for you but he wasn't. (Not yet anyway.)
The bible tells us that if a spouse leaves us because they cannot live in peace with us and our faith, to let them go. We arn't bound to them in such cases 1 Cor 7. This man is very unlikely to let you keep your own faith if he is a true JW. Be very careful.
(however God can save anyone and saves people out of christian cults and into their own relationship with him all the time. Nothing is impossible. Just hang in there.)
I grew up in a closed christian group that many mainstream churchs think of as a 'cult'. Now I have closer walk with God then most of the christians I've ever known. And I wouldn't boast about that.
JW's have some good points. As do most, strict christian sects. But they lack the most important thing - two way relationship with God.
I can eat most christians alive theologically and I got that partly from my upbringing in that original church because it was so focused on scripture. Scripture can only take you so far however and the rest is relationship. I learned that since then.
These arn't idle boasts.
(in fact I feel like a bit of a twot writing this but it is true.) Theological air guitar posturing and deliberate waffle to sound important I usually ignore, but the bible is the bible. One of the strengths of the JW movement is that they immerse themselves in it to prove their own theology. That can be an invaluable heritage when a person comes to christ out of that movement. And one few other christian denominations can match. A bible based education is a wonderful thing to have once it's yours.
Praying for your situation.
- Jesus tells us that he is 'the way, the truth and the life, and no man comes to the father except through him'. John 14:6 JW's don't believe that he is God.
