Here's a tried and true weapon for deflecting the issue:
Elder: Mary, do you consider yourself one of Jehovah's Witnesses?
Mary: Well, I don't think I am, but Roberta is.
Elder: Uh, who's Roberta?
Mary: She's one of my multiple-personalities. She's been studying with me ever since I got put on death-row.
(Elder makes a b-line for the door............bye-bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!)
Shamless plug: Blondie or somebody, add the links to those books related to VERBAL DEFENSE. This is a good place for that, in case people are archiving this for future reference (like I am).

When I was finally asked this (by an elder that happened to walk into the shop that I worked at) I had been out of the Borg for 12 months, and had become a Christian. I simply stated, "According to the Bible, no where are followers of Jesus Christ to be witnesses of Jehovah. Rather, they are to be witnesses of Jesus." I then told him that if he wished to discuss it further to call me and make an appointment, as I was currently on work time and could not discuss it then.
