  Ive been waiting for this moment....

  They knock... i answer... the following happens

  Me: Morning!

  Them: morning hope we havent interupted, if i may id like to show you a quick video?

  Me: Oh im not interested in god, Ive seen his work. How ever id like to talk to you about the findings of the ARC. Your welcome to come in,ive just been shopping so have fresh doughnuts.

  Them: Ummm. Well.. we... sometimes its....

  Then they literally walked Away. Like when your lap top has a moment and reboots without warning.

  The encounter is slightly para-phrased. But wanted to share. I was disapointed that they wouldnt talk, my intention was to plant a seed but i guess my approach was too... agressive? Overt? Im not sure.

  Them: Ummm. Well.. we don't want to see Brother Geoffrey Jackson in the court under oath saying, "I think it would seem to be quite presumptuous to say, that we are the only channel god is using". That undermines our firm belief that we better follow this person than to follow God and Jesus.

  Same thing here, I just had the JWs come to the door. Two women a young girl and woman. I could tell what they were and opened the door and just said before they could get a word out I was one for 30 years and now am an apostate and proud so you can go now. They thanked me and left.

  Yep, many JWs dont even known about the ARC or what GB member Sanderson said during that public hearing.

  You have to lure them in slowly with questions and a bit informal information.

  As the conversation continues you can hit them with the heavy stuff like unscriptural false prophecies and the commercialization of those false prophecies created by the WTS/JWorg. publishing house.

  Being subjectively loyal to the WTS and its governing body members is not the same as being subjectively loyal to Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ, sinning false Prophets can never accomplish that.

  You gotta be a bit more subtle. You should of watched the video, heard the presentation out, and started from there.

  As soon as a person admits they WERE Witnesses...the conversation is over. Its like saying, "hello I'm the devil...want to dance?"

  if they walked away at the mention of ARC--they must have known what it meant.

  Yes never upfront admit you were once a JWS or DFed, they will stop the conversation abruptly and walk away, possibly say something like I hope you come back ........ bye.

  They are trained to do that remember, in doing that they are showing loyalty to Jehovah.
  

  You might subtlety say, you saw this video on YouTube and .......
