: any suggestions on how to respond to that?
What would your wife say if some Roman Catholic (or Baptist, or whatever) quoted those same verses and applied them to people who left that religion to become JWs? What if they applied the verses to JWs comeing to the door?
Such verses will always favour the status quo; the one citing them assumes that the current religion/faith is the only correct one, and all others -- even those s/he knows nothing about -- are false. That indeed is circular reasoning. It begs the question.
