Perhaps you should try a different approach. Atheists don't believe in God, so any particular JW belief contingent on God's existence is summarily dismissed. Now, if there is some particular aspect of the JW set of beliefs you want hashed out then start a thread to discuss it. Perhaps start going down this list (assuming that these are actual JW beliefs):

1. God is not a Trinity; the doctrine is inspired by the Devil
Answer: At least JW's seem to have the ability to count, but further burden themselves by invoking another unprovable entity.
11. Jesus second coming happened invisibly and secretly in 1914
Answer: A little demonstration is in order.
54. They are forbidden to use any tobacco products
Answer: I'm always a bit suspect of 'thou shalt nots'. In this case, perfectly good arguments can be made for why we shouldn't smoke; however, a celestial dictator is not required for this.
63. They must go from door to door weekly to gain converts
Answer: Since JWs believe that there is a maximum occupancy requirement in heaven (144,000), this mandate seems a bit self defeating. JWs cannot be sure of their salvation so why increase the rolls and further jeopardize your chances?
69. Men are forbidden wear beards
Answer: Are whiskers a design flaw?
80. All churches are of Satan
Answer: JWs seem fond of blaming the Devil for everything, but somehow he's confused when JWs go to 'meetings' in Kingdom Halls instead of churches.
94. They are strongly discouraged from giving to charity (except Watchtower causes)
Answer: Cunts.
100. They can never question what is printed in Watchtower literature
Answer: Cult
