Thanks to all of you for your inputs. You have experiences and insight that I do not have. Not to take anything away from Ron Rhodes and Dr. Walter Martin, but your past and willingness to open up is wonderful and something that you can not get from a text book. One reason for looking for an individual or group to work with is to get those insights and help on understanding how and why the Jehovah's Witness thinks and responds as they do.
I do not believe that there is a single silver bullet that will work with all and everytime. A well phrased question, a sign, a webpage or bulletin board, or even a heated debate if it reaches one is worth the time and effort.
My desire to swing by the convention is not to scream or shout at any one, but to find someone to help me get something going in the east county of San Diego. Have not been able to find anything through my searches, but have to believe that there are people and groups here as well.
