How about a reasoning book for JW's?

anyone feel like adding/fixing some of this up?

Looking at both of those links, I get the impression that its arguing for a certain point of view. I was hoping to be able to argue against certain witness teachings in a non-leading way. Not attempting to teach something new, simply attempting to dismantle the old.

I didn't want to argue from a scriptural (or strictly scriptural) point of view. Though I haven't read that book, I assumed that was what it was doing. Its arguing about things that I find a bit boring anyways, such as the Trinity. I guess I would have to really read it to take a look.
I was just thinking more about common topics like 1914, FDS & the last days and some of the very common arguments that come up again & again.
Is that what this book is? Can anyone comment who has read it?

1914
Definition: belief that 1914 AD marked the end of the Gentile Times. blahblah.
Common Objections
Chronology isn't that important.
If chronology isn't important then why can you be disfellowshipped for not accepting it? (allow for response) [Refer to Watchtower Apr 1, 1986 p.30-31 Questions From Readers]
Okay, so maybe it's 1934 instead of 1914, who cares?
1914 is used as the basis of authority for the Faithful & Discreet Slave. Should something so shaky be used as a basis for authority? (watch brains explode)
Well, thats according to secular evidence, but I will stick to the Bible.
Secular evidence and the Bible record are not at odds with one another. It is an interpretation of the 70 years that conflicts with
Thanks... let me know what you think. It would be fun to have a full book's worth of them. We could make a pdf :)

Yeah, we'll try again. I'm thinking a lunch this time. Maybe a sunday or saturday afternoon thing then we can all go and picket something or play some snow balls or sledding or something. (actually, sledding would be terrifically fun)
I'll pick another date and time and start another thread. :)

A Rant About the Abuse of N-Tier Architecture
by AlmostAtheist inwhen you sit down to write a program, there are tons of different ways you can go about it.
the "best" way doesn't exist.
sometimes it's driven by how many people will be using the program, or how quickly it has to be written, or how much money is supposed to be spent writing it.. but sometimes none of that comes into play because of the standards established by the company you're working for.
