My only regret about being DF'd for apostasy is they will never call on us.

That was good Simon. I hope I have a chance to use it.

Well that's sure to be enough to stop them coming back to our house for a while ! Imagining the frantic scribbling on the field service notes once they got further down the road

Simon - "It's sad how poor they are at being able to defend or even explain their beliefs."
Yes, I'm truly heartbroken.

JW to Simon: "You've asked a really good question. It shows you think about these sorts of things - so I commend you, sir! To begin answering your fine question, I'm going to need you to patiently make lots of room for accepting the first part of the answer, okay? Thanks for your cooperation. Well, not long after Jehovah God created Adam and Eve, a snake slid by Eve when she was by herself in a part of the Garden of Eden and started talking to her....."

That was the actual conversation we had when they called :)

Why did that thing come? To save us. From what? Our "sins". "Sins" against who? Against a god that created rules that totally go against our nature, which that thing called a god created us with.
Now, why would god create us with specific natures and then be offended by them? Or, is it that this god simply wants us to suffer and be enslaved? Or another god created us and this parasite thing (joke-hova) wants to usurp credit for this creation, enslaving us in the meantime? And, that being the case, is there any reasonable evidence outside the damnation book that Jesus even existed at all?

I just had an invite to a district convention later this month in Calgary (I guess they get to clean up the Saddledome before the Stampede, LOL)
Went in '04 after the Flames' late playoff run.
The floors were disgusting. Dress shoes would stick because of all the pop and beer on the floor.
Brought my own cleaning fluid and paper towels for the Saturday and Sunday to clean the floors.

No mention of a certain website that allows alternative views?

Good points in the OP, Simon. Hopefully it started the JWs to think for themselves, or at least to question things.
I could see the conversation going this way:
I asked them "so why did he come?"
"well, he came to save us"
"he did? From what?"
"from sin and death"
"and yet there are still people doing terrible things, and nobody has been saved from death"
