Blueblades,
You make some excellent points, and you're argument should (in theory, although these are programmed dubs remember) defeat any counter-argument. I'll be sure to bring these issues up next time I get the chance.
Happy
don't get me wrong, i'm not one to actively persecute jw's, i'm just wondering what you guys think is the best agrument/point to use when a pesky brother or sister just won't leave you alone.
normally, i am willing to listen to their drivel out of respect (even though i have no respect for the wt) but there are times when i am not in the mood to hear them babble.
i normally bring up the 1914 generation point, and it normally works.

Will,
Just get them to admit that the WT society has made errors in their predictions etc. Then say, Well then what does that do to ones faith in an organization that claims they are spirit directed and they make errors? That one worked for me. It shut the elder right up.
I haven't had much success with that tactic because, (and I know some of you will find this hard to believe, but I swear it's true) they would use the old "new light" excuse. (which is really getting old, btw) Anyway I can never seem to get anyone to admit that all the lies and erroneous predictions don't bode well for the WT. Ah, well, what can ya do?
I am also curious FRUSTR8TD. What do you mean he would have to work through the Catholic Church? It wasn't Catholics that wrote the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.

Last week I explained to a JW about how profitable the magazines are and how the donation arrangement makes the Society even more money.
Everyone says that the WTBTS is making a lot of money, and I know they're a billion dollar (b)org. but I don't understand where they get all this money, aside from donations. Don't they give out the mags. free? Anyone wanna explain?
oh lord jehovah god almighty.
please give me the strength to overcome the urge to buy presents for my loved ones.
please aid me in ovecoming my admiration of the lovely lights (er- pagan lights) that decorate my neighbors houses.
Very catchy cruzanheart

This is the theological equivalent of "buck fever."Nicely put
oh my god, you guys!
some jehovahs witnesses just came to my house--and of course my latest strategy is to hide and let someone else answer the door, or not answer the door at all.
well, my younger brother is home from his first semester at college and he just happened to be near the door when they came knocking... .
You should inform your brother of how much of a celebrity he will be, throughout the kingdom. Little does he know that he will now be considered Satan's official messenger here in this worldly system of things. Oh my, this story will never stop being funny.

Ahh, how true. And they contradict themselves once again.
It is not religious persecution for an informed person to expose publicly a certain religion as being false, thus allowing persons to see the difference between false religion and true religion.Yet if a non-witness *persecutes* a witness by trying to show the faultiness of the WT, we are being led by Satan the Devil, and doing his evil work. It's funny, really.

I wouldn't mind hearing how you guys get them outof your face not-so-diplomatically either. It always cracks me up.

The ironic thing about this hilarious story is that its going to further reinforce their beliefs that the world is under Stan the Devil's control. It's simply too funny
