Good ideas on this Thread, thanks jgnat.
I was in conversation with a couple of elderly JW's the other day, we spoke of nothing religious, but I was able to talk about all the wonderful advances that have been made in recent decades, and the things to come.
I am sure they find this sort of info. discomfiting deep down, it goes against 130 or so years of rhetoric.
