2 JW's in the parking lot...

  Jws are hard to argue with since if you argue on doctrine they will always assume they are right and you are wrong. They are accustomed to holding different views from others and will see it as interpretation rather than incorrect information. If you want to get a shot under the radar pick facts, the good news there are so many to choose from.

  Russell used great pyramid as a way of calulating 1914,

  End predicted by the society more than once and all failed. The light should get brighter, old light should not be extinguished by new light but it is all the time.

  Malawi and Mexico

  Misuse of quotations and disingenuous use of sources from fundamentalist christians presented as scientific research.

  The fact that you can't question the society or doctrines without reprecussions.

  To highlight a few.

  You did a great job talking to the JWs in your place I would have excused myself at the first shush and told them off for being rude.

  Oh, and she said something about others using their imaginations and coming up with stuff out of thin air like I was.

  Where do they think that the GB get all that crap from?

  One thing I've noticed is JW's have nothing to say when you say you do not believe the bible is the word of God, it jut stumps them.

  They have to change the subject, or they scrounge up some scripture that "proves" it's the word of God.

  Yup use the Bible to prove the Bible, makes Dubbie sense.

  And to think I used to believe that you could, "All those prophecies" etc.

  They are frustrating to talk to, if you do it at any length you get every trick they know, Ad Hominem attacks, straw man arguments, misquoting scripture and secular authorities,not answering your point but going on to another is a favourite, YANK 'em right back on topic I say !

  I am hoping one day to get one who does not know me, I haven't cut my teeth yet on a stranger.

  Well done, and don't you feel a little sorry for the poor deluded souls?

  Love

  It is a complete waste of time trying to reason with the witlesses. If it isn't in the False Reasoning Book or from the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger, it is "satanic" and therefore wrong. Never mind if something is spelled out right there for them right in the Bible. Never mind if something simply defies common sense. The witlesses are programmed to go by whatever the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger tells them to.

  It was fun and frustrating at the same time. Puts me in a bad feeling mood for the rest of the day.

  Forgot to mention that when I said "Who?" when she made a comment about one of two groups, Satan and people, she scoffed and said, "Well, Satan of course. That's what we are talking about!" We were in the parking lot and I couldn't understand her well out there. Next time, I'll ask, "Are you attempting to talk down to me?! This so called conversation is over. It's obvious that you don't respect the people you talk to."
