    Greetings Tetra,

    Excellent! Their heads must have been spinning by the time they got back to their car.

    Great experience! I'm sure it will be showing up in the aposta-yearbook!

    she said, "well, josh, there are many scientists that believe in creation. did you know that?"

    possible reply: "NAME ONE."

    possible follow-up comment: "So are you saying that I should believe in creationism because some scientist you can't name does? Is that why you believe in creationism?"

    it's interesting how the first line of defense that they bring up when i reject the notion of their god, is creation vs evolution.

    That was an early point in my conversation, too.

    You did a great job dealing with them!

    Man, you really handled that well. I don't think those ladies will be able to forget that little visit, hehe. Maybe they will bust out Dave Premiere as their intelligent design expert for next visit.. (LOL!)

    I couldn't let this post go by without commenting. This is a terrific example of reverse witnessing to dub, and in my humble opinion the ONLY form of effective conversation you can EVER have with a practicing dub.

    Someone chimed in and suggested you go all 607/1914/1995 on 'em, but in my view that is a waste of time. They are programmed to respond to ANY criticism of their peculiarly dub doctrine by closing ranks and stopping up their ears.

    But when you challenge the very core of their teaching about God and do so in a kind, reasonable way, they feel they are having a true philosophical discussion. And they are told repeatedly that in such discussions they hold the upper hand because they are so well "trained." In truth, of course, they are almost completely disarmed in any discourse that requires thinking and reasoning.

    So you planted some seeds in the ONLY way that dubs can be reached. Because, at heart, deep down, most dubs have nagging doubts that they will only visit in a non-threatening environment.

    Great Job!!! I think you ought to bring up some JW history next time and rock their little world even more. Bring up some of the old whacky beliefs that immunizations had blood (they preached it without any research and it was false), or miracle wheat, or pyramid stuff, or that Beth Sharim mansion in San Diego that was to literally house resurrected saints of old. I'm sure a lot of JWs have no clue about their very foundation.

    That was a fun read tetra. I hope they come back because I'd love to hear what else you've got to say to them.

    Sounds like you were flattered they even gave you the time of day. Are you flying on top of a cloud? They come across people like you everyday and they don't change their views at all.

    BUT it made you feel good to express your views and tell them a thing or two.
