Jehovahs Witnesses will beat yo' ass everytime quoting scripture verbatim. So don't even try, it's not worth it. You'll never win that one. BUT while they can rattle off any biblical quote, and do at the drop of a hat, be aware that those quotes are really nothing more than pre-conditioned, almost involuntary knee-jerk reflexes. Jehovahs Witnesses were trained – brainwashed – for years to counter argument X with biblical quote Y. But they have no real comprehension, no clue, what the real significances and consequences of using that particular quote in that particular argument are. JWs are virtual automatons: press this button and out comes that quote. Mindlessly. So all you have to do is ask them to explain their quote in the given context. And when they do (well, try) keep drilling deeper, keep asking why. They'll be stumped by the second question you ask*, turn around with their tail between their legs, and probably never ever come back to that guy who tripped them with their own quotes.
*Humorously: your questions and objections don't even have to be logical or rational!
The JWs aren't, so why should you?
