Some people say that JWs are very good at what they do. They are highly trained in their doctrine. One website said that they would blow the average Christian away in an arguement. However, I found a serious weakness in their rhetoric. Actually, it's more in the way they present their information.
Visiting a video game message board, I noticed a topic that asks Christians why they believe in God. One guy said he was a JW and proceeded to give them the usual run-down. He kept at it for awhile, but eventually wore out and apparently quit. I noticed a trend in his arguements. All he did was quote from the Bible pretty much.
Why is that a weakness? It's simple. Look at the way Jesus taught. Did he just incessantly spit scriptures at people? No, he used parables, or metaphors putting ideas into layman's terms. Yes, Jesus used worldly knowledge to help teach people ideas. Ironically, the Elitists in Brooklyn WTS always tell JWs not to pursue higher education because that would detract from time spent preaching. But there is their greatest weakness: How can you teach people when you can't even converse on their level? We live in a highly educated society, and if your skills are limited to keeping your nose in the Bible to look up a random scripture that may or may not loosely cover the question asks, then you're in a heap of trouble.
No wonder dubs have a hard time converting people. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a way to exploit this weakness for those of you who have friends and family left in the borg truth. What do you think?
