Meeting with Jehovah's Witnesses next Sat

Meeting with Jehovah's Witnesses next Sat
Hey folks,

I need your help. This morning I had an hour discussion with two nice ladies from the local Jehovah’s Witnesses. While it was thoroughly entertaining and a good opportunity to eek out exactly how much propaganda is involved in their spin, I was caught unprepared and so ended up jumping around from evolution to biblical contradictions to authorship of the bible and ended with questions of theodicy. Unfortunately due to time constraints and lack of proper planning I was unable to follow through to conclusion any of my arguments beyond an initial introduction of said arguments. Possible because I wanted to cover everything in 30 min.

While I think I was able plant a few seeds of doubt, I wasn’t all that happy with my tangent ridden session. Don’t get me wrong it was still a blast!. Having said this I am delighted to say they will be returning next week Sat to do a ‘bible study’, which if I decide to record, might be my first youtube upload.

So…I was hoping to get whatever feedback you are able or willing to give. I would like to be in a position to provide a nice overall multi pronged consideration of their views…you know, a bit of everything, a smorgasbord of infidelity.

Any feedback…or not, would be fine…even Christian, Jwits, Jewish or muslim etc.

Cheers
PBT

I don't know how you should go about it, but I'm subscribing to this so I can hear the outcome!

RE: Meeting with Jehovah's Witnesses next Sat
I have read one of their small booklets, and I could say that their views on christianity differ slightly from the mainstream. First and foremost of all, they believe that heaven is a place on earth, literally. There also is a heaven in "heaven", to where only a limited number of people consisting of the different tribes of jews will probably go to, and the rest will live on earth.
Their refusal of blood transfusions is a new thing though, similarly, their refusals to join the military, vote in elections and conform to authority.
I do not think that the early JW's were to harsh about blood donations and acceptance.

Look up beforehand about Beth Sarim (to house the resurrected Abraham, Issac and Jacob). Ask them about Jesus return to Earth in 1914 and their MANY failed predictions of the end of the world. Then ask them to explain and don't let up on those points.
