3. Shining as illuminators in the world, 1977 ** The Witnesses used this book, (secret book) who were in a special program, that average witnesses in the congregation were not aware of. However, they don't use this book today. **
In the Shining book, pp. 26, 27, we can see how the Witnesses handle people's objection. For instance:
"(Consider "different viewpoints" that are appropriate for your area and how they can be handled in a considerate way, yet with a sincere desire to help the person. Replies below are listed just to stir further thinking and discussion. Pioneers should be encouraged to comment on how they handle these statements and how they might do so more effectively.)

I'm busy
"Our message is for busy people and, if you will permit me, I’ll be brief." "Would it be better if I stopped back in about an hour?"
I'm not interested
I don't believe in the Bible
I'm not a religious person
One of your people was just here
You don't believe in Jesus
I'm an agnostic
You can anticipate such viewpoint replies by being the first to mention them. For example: In an area where most people say they have their own religion, the pioneer might say:
"Do you have your own religion by any chance?" (after reply) "I thought you might. Most people in this
area do. However, the reason for my call this morning is this.. ." (Then introduce subject for discussion.). Shining as illuminators in the world, 1977, pp. 26, 27 ]]

I've found a great conversation stopper.
"I saw that Dateline program about you people. Statistically one of you two guys is a pedophile, which one is it?"
"Now don't try to change the subject. Which one of you is a child molester?"
"Well, if you're not going to answer the question, just leave. And don't come back. Ever"
