This message does not delve into all the nuts and bolts of the beliefs of the JWs ... but does provide some basic guidelines on how to witness to them.
For example ... a round of two of 'Bible ping-pong' generally gets nowhere ... .
I have a flier that I've made and discussed with a few JWs. I've uploaded it to http://bearfruit.followers.net/Skeptics.Kingdom_Hall.index
I've tried to make it as non-conforntational as possible and I've ordered the questions from easy to hard. If you get a witness that listens and considers the questions you'll start a very interesting discussion. By the way, this isn't exactly a hand-out, it's more of a discussion starter. Questions 4, 5 and 7 seem to be the most interesting for discussion.
The last meeting I had the men I talked to said that JWs are characterized by their love. I'm curious, then, how they respond to "apostates" and if they consider that a good example of love.
I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions for the flier. My contact info is on the website.
P.S. I always run into semantic issues when talking to JWs. I'd expecially love for a way to re-word question 8.
