Undeniable
by goddidit ini've got an audience with a believing jw.
yes, i know he's not really listening.
i see all the usual signs of cognitive dissonance.

Quotemines please
by goddidit inas we all know, reaching a believing jw is difficult, maybe impossible.. i've tried many years of reasoning before i realised that reason isn't something they really understand, and science is something they can brush off with a wave of their hand.
now i'm going to prepare very succinct examples of their blatant quotemining and somehow get one of them to read it, then ask them why purveyors of the truth need to use lies to support their claims.
maybe i'm too optimistic but i'm hopeful this might have some effect.

NWT copyright
by goddidit ini notice the jw bible is copyrighted.
are any other "holy" books copyrighted?.
i guess that means publishing it online along with a critique would violate the copyright?.

Website
by goddidit ini'm thinking of building a website to allow anyone to add tags and notes to multiple bibles.. for instance, a subscriber could tag all the verses that mention x so they are easy to hand when trying to argue through creationist lies about x (e.g slavery).. the tags, and other annotations could be public so others could use them.
eventually, each version would be highly annotated.
tags/notes could be shared between different versions of the bible.. i'd be very interested to hear your ideas of what else might be helpful.

What if there are sinners in paradise?
by goddidit indisclaimer: i have never been a jw and don't believe in any gods.. .
i've always wondered what the jw line on this would be.
i'm sure sure if it's an original thought but i don't remember reading anything about it.. it starts with the assumption that people in the future paradise earth are exactly as perfect as adam & eve before the fall.. so, what if one of these future people "sins"?

Levels
by goddidit ini have a few questions but first let me lay out what i think i know and please correct me if i'm wrong.. .
there are 'normal' jws and there are elders.
the elders have had a kind of promotion (they way they see it) and have some 'priviliges' and access to publications that 'normal' jws don't.

Online support for JWs
by goddidit ini want to use my knowledge of science and religion to reach out to jws and help them escape.
but as we all know, it's very difficult to make them listen.
they don't come to the door very often so i wondered about any online methods.. one idea i had was to friend some on facebook and use this to show them things that might make them think.. bearing in mind my audience here (you're all ex/fading/conscious class right?

Quotemining
by goddidit ini don't know if there are any fully-believing jws on this site but this is what i will attempt to put to them next time i meet one:.
i can't convince you of the problems with your worldview or of the overwhelming evidence for evolution so let's ignore that.
please just tell me why the writers of your publications tell blatant lies, as demonstrated here: http://corior.blogspot.com/2006/02/misquotations-in-creation-book.html.
