Well... just because she's not a Christian doesn't mean she can't be a good friend. I've had many Non-Christian friends. In fact, there were many times where all I had were non-Christian friends. You should continue to be her friend... this is the best way to be a witness to her.

How do I witness to A JW? The same way you would anyone else. Live the life you were called to live... your friend will be likely to notice something different in you. There's no point in annoying her with the, "You know Jesus loves you, right?" Most of the times, non-Christians do not want to hear this... so rather than force them to hear it... show it to them. Show them how Jesus loves them by loving them in the same way. That is much more effective than "preaching" to them.
Furthermore, remember that this firend's soul does not rest in your hands... you are not responsible for her salvation!
Answer:
I would recommend getting hold of their book .. "Reasoning from the Scripture" as it will give you a good idea of how they are taught to respond to things about Christianity you may bring up. It can get very frustrating trying to discuss something when no matter what you say you get the same response.
Answer:
Just be her friend. Seriously. I know so many Christians at my college that pretend to be friends with unbelievers just for the sake of converting them. That is just embarrassing. Be her friend. Discussing religion with her is fine. Tell her what you believe and why, and listen to what she says. But basically, just be her friend.

Matt is wise and correct here.
Reasonings is a great book to pick up ( I have a small JW library-- I have spent ten years haunting thewm locally)
But when theology comes up--stay away from the deity of christ--focus on his physical resurrection--that will smash a hole in the false foundation you can exploit when the right time comes.
MATT---- good to see some powerful words written by you!!!!!!!
Answer:
I'm with Matt (Dr. Worm). Too ofter Christians view unbelievers as a mission instead of a person. Be her friend, plain and simple. If the topic of religion comes up, by all means, discuss the differences in Jehovah's Witness and Christianity. Discuss the differences in their Scripture and ours. Above all though, treat her like a person, not a goal to be accomplished.
