Is worship deserved?
by goddidit inanyone know the jw explanation for this:.
so supposedly, god exists outside of space and time.
or, god wasn't created and didn't create itself, it just always was, or something.... ignoring any logical issues for a moment, if this is true, why does it deserve any worship for this?.

Has a 'Christian' ever murdered somebody?
by goddidit ina jw made the claim "no christian [jw] has ever murdered anyone".. when i showed examples of such, the goalposts moved a bit with "was he a baptized, dedicated witness?".
can anyone provide examples of murders committed by "baptized, dedicated" jws?.
thanks.

Ancient humans
by goddidit indoes anyone know of any good examples of evidence that humans were around well before the jw claim, that doesn't rely on anything they so casually dismiss, like radiometric dating?.

Simple yes/no answers
by goddidit ini just can't understand jw beliefs so i thought i'd try to get some simple yes/no answers.
this is a genuine effort to understand and i hope nobody takes it as an insult.
hope some of you folks don't mind spending a bit of time on this.

Age of Adam
by goddidit indoes anyone happen to know what the jws have to say about this?.
i know apologists usually have a convoluted answer for everything but i just can't think how they could possibly defend this.
so, each 'day' of creation is 7000 years long, adam was created on the 6th 'day', god rested on the 7th 'day', adam then dies at an age of something like 930 years!!.

Bad argument
by goddidit inin my quest to help jws wake up i came up with this (at least i think i came up with it myself, can't be sure).. i was hoping someone could help me refine it to be as easy as possible to understand and as hard as possible to weasel out of by some semantics.. just to be clear, i'm an atheist.
this is written for the context of jw beliefs.. .
premise 1: even if a position is true, it is possible for an argument in favour of it to be a bad argument, e.g.

NASA's lost day
by goddidit ini stumbled across this old chestnut.
i remember a jw telling me this when i was a kid, and he believed it.. i only recently found out how well known this is, and has been for some time.
does anyone know which of the jw mags or books had it in?.

Argument from complexity
by goddidit inwe know the universe has within it the capabilty for things to become more complex with direct divine intervention.
look at snowflakes.. as far as i can see, that fact alone invalidates the argument from complexity (isn't the eye complex?
evolution must be false).. can anyone suggest a good way to phrase this that might get into a dubs head?.
