Been in this town for over a year but the preaching effort was weak enough that today was the first time that some JW tries to 'witness' to me. (Maybe because I'd never been up on Saturday morning lol) One middle-aged man, on his own (twould be funny if he was the only one out that morning). He offers me the Watchtower, and starts coming out with his trite 'real meaning of Xmas' lines. I admit that I was a bit taken aback at the start, and I worried that he would go away without me giving him a good antiwitness. However, I pulled myself together.
I disputed the divine authority of the GB and the WT, pulled out some of the old chestnuts like organ transplants. WIthin a minute he admitted that he thought that JW's didn't have the whole truth, but they were closer than the CoE which was his background. Well, that's not the way to convince me to join his religion! I managed to give him some more knowledge of his religions history, 1914/1915/606/607/year 0, 1874, 1925 and so on. However, in contrast to the usual stereotype, soon he hastilly ended the conversation and walked away.
Hopefully some of what what I said will grow in his mind, and the blossoming doubt will damage his relationship (slavish devotion) with Jehovah (to the WTS).
