Juniper needs to be outside, or it will die, without any doubt. The guy who sold it to you has it wrong.
Second, first keep it alive ( by placing outside and watering it ) before you start doing anything else.
Third... sentences with capitals and periods at the end are a bit easier to read...

Even with a grow light? it mimics sunlight wont it keep it alive.

No

The grow light mimics sunlight but not air movement. Inside is just not the same.

The biggest problem is not inside, it is living room temperature. I keep all my trees inside an unheated greenhouse except for trees that are not freeze Hardy, which are inside my frost Free basement, works Good so far (Only 3 winters)

My indoor trees and I spend all winter fighting bugs. They also seem to have issues with low humidity. Grow lights would help a little, but bugs just come out of nowhere and are hard to get rid of.
I think there is also stress caused by little change in temperature. Outside there is a lot of rainfall washing the leaves off, indoors there is dust sticking to the leaves.
You can't duplicate outside conditions indoors.

Junipers die inside full stop.

I tend to dissagree. All my trees are inside in winter. Trees die in living room temperature.
