This week, millions of Christians reflect on Jesus — especially during the Easter season. But for Jehovah’s Witnesses, that relationship is framed in a very different way.

In this episode of The Critical Thought, we illustrate how that belief system actually works — through a unique skit, a real-life experience from a former elder, and some critical questions every Jehovah’s Witness should be asking.

❓ 8 Questions to Ask Any Jehovah’s Witness:
1) If Jesus isn’t your mediator… who is?

2) Why do you pray in his name?

3) How are your sins forgiven if his sacrifice doesn’t apply to you?

4) Why does the Bible say he intercedes for all who come to God through him?

5) Are you in the new covenant — or just observing it from the outside?

6) Why does the Insight book define a mediator as a go-between, yet deny you that access?

7) How did you miss this doctrine if you’ve studied the Bible for years?

8) What else haven’t they told you?
