Good deductions Martini. For me, I'm hesitant to focus in on particular scriptures as the basis for study. It gives the appearance that you have preconceived ideas of a scripture and are not learning this with her. When I start, I'm going to start at Acts since this is most relevant to us as Christians today. Then after we make it through Revelation, start and go through Genesis - John. Acts to John is only 200 pages so that should be an easy study to get through in a couple of months. In the course of doing this, you can easily touch on Martini's and others suggestions throughout JWN as you reach those scriptures.

Waiting for the JWs to come to my door...
by Hortenzie ini read about the new tract distribution and thought to myself how should i react, when they come to my door.
finally today, after finishing my morning coffee, i got an idea!
i'll take the tract, look at it, look at them, and with a nice smile rip it up and hand it back to them with :"have a great day!

To each his own. I personally wouldn't because it's disrespectful. Just because JWs are disrespectful by coming to your door at all hours of the morning doesn't mean you should be the same to them.
But if you do, a comment about "Can this tract come back to life" might be appropriate as you hand it back to them.

In line with your thought though, it would be nice if there was an online resource for us ex-JWs (in heart) to use in helping our families that provides a linear discussion of the Bible (at least Acts - Revelation) and provides questions for critical thinking that exposes JW thinking versus TTATT. So for anyone that has the ability to do such, i.e. has the knowledge, such a project would be very beneficial to our community. I saw a resource where this was done for the book "What Does The Bible Really Teach" and wish that I had this when we last studied it at the congregation.

I'm like you, still trying to figure out how to introduce topics in Family Worship Night, or rather begin having a Family Worship Night and not send up apostate red flags in the process. I like how ILoveTTATT does it. See post below.
He focuses on using just the Bible in Family Worship, and makes some good deductions from just the scriptures.
My wife is somewhat aware of my position, but not to the full degree. When I start our family worship night, I'm going to open it along the lines of "How can we believe in something that we have never read. I've never read the Bible fully. It's entirely too long. But now that the FDS has reduced the Bible by 13%, we don't have any excuse anymore." Then I'm just going to focus on the scriptures. I'm going to set this as a clearly defined goal, have discussion about what we read, and not deviate to the Wt propaganda.

Good job. All I get is advertisements to find my Latin and Columbian girlfriends. While a nice proposition, I don't quite think my wife would approve. And before anyone says it's adsense reading my cookies, I have not, I repeat have not, looked at any porn/dating sites on my work computer, so they shouldn't be there.
At home I accidentally clicked on one.
