They would turn to the Watchtower, "God's organization" (cough, cough) to see what they should think of Jesus. The fact of the matter, Jesus has appeared to them, and this is what they have done. Instead of turning to Scripture for the answers (one that has not been modified over the years to overcome inconsistent Watchtower teachings), they turn to men to explain God. That is foolish. Only God can explain Himself to us, and we are not to put men before God or to be our intermediary - Jesus is that intermeadiary and High Priest, not some group of old men who can't agree on the same things over the course of 50 years.

Don't be stupid, Jw's believe in Jesus Christ, they have never denounced his existence like some other religions/beliefs.
At least make sure of your facts before post your questions. I can't and won't speak for all, but the ones I have met lead or try to lead an exemplary life. I can understand that some people find it hard to accept that JW's chosen lifestyle and that they speak loud and proud of their faith to those that will listen. They are not the only 'Christians' who do this. Why do they get picked on? Jw's are NOT forced to do anything they don't want, they are merely discouraged from 'associating from those who will ruin useful habits.' There's nothing fanatical to this, this is a logical fact that if you hang out with people with undesirable habits, it will affect you. Personally I would choose to have a JW working ´for me than someone who mocks out of ignorance or has no tolerance or respect for others belief. Go on, give me a thumbs down - I'm waiting with open arms.

Why assume something that will never happen?
Jesus isn't part of a trinity. He is Jehovah's son and not equal to him. How could someone raise from the dead all by himself?
Read the Bible more carefully!
"But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God." -- 1 Corinthians 11:3
"The Father is greater than I." -- John 14:28
"Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father." -- Mark 13:32
"No man has seen God at any time." -- John 1:18
"Then Jesus said to him: "Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service."" -- Matthew 4:10
"He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. " -- John 3:18
"Jesus spoke these things, and, raising his eyes to heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you."" -- John 17:1

Dont they realise who he is already? Gods son?
The pamphlet I had off them had information about Jesus in it so how can they go into shock? I'm quite puzzled by this question really. I cant get my head around what you're trying to say. Plus, I'm puzzled how you can think Jesus rose by himself from the dead, where does it say that in the bible? Raised himself? It doesn't make sense. His Father brought him back to life, he didn't rise all by himself, he was dead.

I really dont understand your stupid question.
Why would we met Jesus?
Why would meeting Jesus,change our view of what the Bible or should I say His Father's Holy Word says about him?
Jesus knows exactly what we are doing.His last command to his faithful disciples before his ascension into heaven was to "go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations......teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you...."(Mat.28:19,20)
So in light of what I have just said,what really is your question???

Where have you been all these years?
They have met and served him for decades.
What, your eye did not see him? If it did the same thing would happen to you that happened to Saul of Tarsus. Don't know who that is? Maybe you should learn the whole Bible and not its parts.
Besides, how many saw him the first time and didn't recognize him for what he was?

They would continue the denial.
I know some JW families very well indeed.In my opinion,it is not a religion but a cult for people who want to opt out from the riggers of daily life and associate with only like minded individuals.
I do not know of any charitable contributions or deeds of JWs other than to their own community.
Anyone who doesnt conform to the strict code of practice,will be excommunicated from JWs and (heres the big one)..no members of their JW family or friends will be allowed to contact them in any way ..forever!
JWs are not allowed to have secular relationships with friends outside the community,even neighbourly chats are discouraged.
There are a limited number of vacancies in heaven for them ,which is exceeded by their numbers of JWs on earth.
I have to say,I would be suspicious of any religion that doesnt promote charitable deeds and the desire to find the lost sheep.
strange people.

We already know him by his works. He is a part of every Witness's life. To most of us, he is as close as a hand is to an arm.
We are trying to spread the light he brought into the world. It's not our fault the world prefers darkness.
But, thanks for the chance to tell others how much we love him and his father; Jehovah / God
