Good plan, Lady Lee. I have more than a dozen other strategies in the works. At my current rate of progress, twenty weeks? Also very popular lately are the polls. I intend on compiling the polls so I can present a broader perspective. I am also open to collaboration, hint hint.
Future solutions:
Add Fun - Done!
Be a Tugboat
Can't Beat em
Confront Quietly - Done!
Dress for the Hall
Make Peace with the Cult Personality
Pro and Con
Reinforce their Humanity
Reveal your Humanity
Reverse Psychology
Start a Family Bible Study
Stick to the Topic
Sudden Shock
Talk like a JW
Turn off the Cult Personality
Use Humor
Word Pictures
A friend is looking at some scripts as well, to refute common JW talking points:
- God requires us to obey and we learn to obey by following the bible's commands.
- The bible is completely trustworthy for instruction on Christian living.
- Satan works hard to keep you from the truth.
- Satan can work through your loved ones.
- Christendom's Churches strayed from God when they adopted the trinity.
- Those who follow the trinity doctrine follow three gods.
- God hates customs that have a pagan origin.
- God works through One True Religion.
- The world is steadily getting worse and we are living in the last days.
- Jehovah's Witnesses advocate a clean lifestyle that is rare in our modern world.
- Christendom's Churches are all corrupt and have failed mankind and failed God.
- Even though the WTS has it's problems, we are to be patient and wait for Jehovah to work it out.
- At least we are better than anything else out there!
JW: Do you think man could solve the problems we have?
Householder: I think some people are really trying to do the right thing.

JW: Can I leave a Watchtower for you to read?
Householder: I read the bible own my own and do not need any other literature to go along with it.
JW: Isn't hard for you to understand it?
Householder: no I find by praying for understanding it becomes completely clear.
JW: No response.
