    I stop and talk to jws a few times a week. I set them up with questions I know they can't answer. Or set a trap and make them lie then drop the boom. I go straight for the kill and beat them at thier own game. I embarrass them to the point they know they got ran into the WT EXPOSER and they can't even try to argue with me. they are scared shit of me, knowledge a balls to stand up to these dopes works every time and I make them pay for counting time, lying to the public.....

    I like the idea of throwing them curveballs, asking questions you know they can't answer!

    They came to my door yesterday. I said "Jehovah's Witnesses, yes you are the ones that told me I didn't need to go to college because Armageddon was coming". The woman tried to continue the conversation but I shut the door on them. Not exactly a great response, but I did say something. I figure if they are going to keep coming to my door, I will keep saying things to them.

    Are You Ever Tempted To Talk To Mormons When You See Them?

    No

    Are You Ever Tempted To Talk To Evangelicals When You See Them?

    No

    I try hard to accept that JWs have the right and freedom to worship and proselytise as any other religous group. Just because I have an insider's knowledge of how they operate and how they are misguided doesn't mean that I'm on a mission to save them from themselves. I don't really care about saving Mormons, or other religious groups so as long as JWs don't get pushy with their message/beliefs, I leave them to their delusions.

    Possible comment/question I might use if the right situation presented itself:

    "I used to work with a JW and he always used to say that the preaching work you guys do is a 'life-saving' work. Could you explain exactly what that means for a regular guy like me who tries to be a good husband and father, lives by Bible principles and is an all-around good citizen, contributing member of society?"

    Don't let them off the hook by saying "God is the judge of who will survive Armageddon." If the vast majority of Armageddon survivors will be JWs, then it's a life-saving work and your God's a jerk. If Jehovah is going to read people's hearts and let in a sizeable percentage of non-JWs, then the "life-saving" aspect (and also the urgency) of the preaching work goes right out the window.

    Can't have it both ways.

    No, I have no desire to talk to those who have god on their side. It's a complete waste of time on my part.

    This assumes I know they are JW and that the topic is belief. Otherwise, I have no more or no less reason to behave any differently for them than any other.

    I talk to them at work. I just tell them my sister is a JW. Which is true. I can tell who they are by the way they dress and carry themselves and by the time they come in. I usually ask where have you been, all dressed up? Church? Or I might here them talking about a meeting or service and I ask them if they are witnesses. I usually always have pleasant conversations with them.

    Yes... but my husband scared them away. They never come here anymore.

    I don't feel comfortable talking with them anymore, it's so simple in their tiny minds how I can be "back on the road to life if I could humble myself and follow the faithful slave".

    I watchted the Org zap educated men and women of their critical thinking skills, blinding following the crazy stuff printed in the Watchtower. Is this a normal feeling after over a year of avoiding them to not want to talk to former JW friends and family? It's creeping me out to talk with them?
