As one of Jehovah 's witnesses, this is good reminder for me as I engage In my door to door ministry. We do have a gospel we preach , a paradise earth. It 's important for anyone who preaches, to speak as with truth to the bible, pleasing God and not men. There is no need to sugar coat the bible or alter it 's words to gain people. The bible is truth, and it will draw honest hearted people to Gof on its own merit.
