I would like to hear about and discuss any recent or past encounters that participants here have had with JW's who showed up at your door or who you have met in public places.
JW's usually ring my doorbell twice a year. There are two Kingdom Halls within a half hour's drive of my house. I seldom see the same faces more than once and it has been well over a decade since any of them have been willing to come inside to discuss and debate religion. I let them know immediately that I'm an atheist and present them with atheist tracts and my atheist business card, which they always refuse to read.
I smiled at this, I have never been a JW, but i have went door to door with my church preaching the message. If you are so good at being an atheist and having explanations as to what you believe, explain morality. The questions get harder as we go along.
I suppose you refused the JWs too so its even Stevens, although according to Christian theology JWs are fake believers and they are a cult. So you would go to hell, either way.
Simply put, I base my morality on treating others the way I want to be treated. I subscribe to the principles of Secular Humanism.
