I need some help fleshing out an illustration that explains how people can be biased but still reach honest conclusions. I had JWs claim that "evolutionists" are biased towards evolution. If they were biased towards something else they'd reach different conclusions. ok here it is:
Imagine you are a serious baseball fan. You watch every game and cheer them on till the end. You will of corse be biased towards having your team win. So according to that logic does your team ever lose a game? Would you cherry pick the innings they were ahead and ignore the finale score?
Every team wants to win. But when they lose they accept it. They delude themselves into thinking they won. Anyone can interpret why a team won or lost a game but in the end there will be plenty of evidence to conclude the winner.

511 days to make this happen. Is there anything we need to do at this stage? Raise money? Apply for Public permits? Contact organizations that may have the same idea.

We definitely need it to be peaceful. The JWs would eat it up if there was a violent riot against them. It would only reinforce their beliefs.
