However, my wife says, "tell him to pray for his wife."

Your assertion that you "know" all her facts are wrong is a little misguided in itself - how do you know this?
JW's generally are not taught very much about the Bible, it is actually quite easy to prove the Watchtower wrong from a copy of the KJV or the NWT.

I got home after work last night and found a bloody JoHo pamphlet under my welcome mat. Complete with white Jesus

What's even funnier (and annoying) are personally hand written letters in your mail box addressed " To the Householder"

At least prostitutes provide a useful service. JWs, not so much.
