The NWT Swap-Out — Giving a JW a Real Bible
Once a JW shows openness to the gospel, the practical pastoral question is what to do about their New World Translation. The instinct of most evangelists is to offer a 'real Bible' on the spot. That instinct is often right, but it raises tactical questions: which translation, when to do it, what to say to the elders, and whether to leave their NWT with them at all. This playbook walks through the tradeoffs and recommends an approach.
