1) Oswald, at best, was a medium shot. To hit a moving target with a rifle requires a lot of skill with a good rifle.
2) 51 Witnesses said they saw smoke or heard gunfire from the grassy knoll.
3) A third person was wounded by a stray bullet fragment. That left two bullets.
4) The last and one that would have to create 7 other wounds, break several bones and come out in "pristine condition." Yeah Sure.
5) Possibly the worst autopsy ever performed. Legal or otherwise.
6) Critical evidence locked in the National Archives for 75 years
7) All sorts of mafia/CIA connections
8) Bullet riddled limo immediately disassembled by order of LBJ.
9) Kennedy's brain, or what was left of it, just disappeared.
10) Zapruder film.

That's exactly the sort of "heap of evidence" I'm talking about; anything at all that would raise doubts is thrown at us in the hope that some of it sticks, whether there's any basis to the claims at all or even if they contradict each other.
These issues are dealt with very well at http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/home.htm

It's also the kind of reaction jw's exhibit when confronted with the evidence of their unknowing complicity in a huge conspiracy. Deny everything.

Conspiracy theorists and Jehovah's Witnesses both believe that the truth is something belonging to just a few, and cannot possibly be what the general public believes.
While sometimes the public is taken in by a hoax, I'm not convinced this is true in the JFK assassination.
It may seem hard to believe that something so big (the assassination of a popular president) could be accomplished just by someone so insignificant (Oswald). The human mind has problems wrapping itself around this seeming incongruity between the large magnitude of the act and the puny culprit.
There will be conspiracy theories for every major tragic event, like 9/11. That's human nature. That doesn't make the theories factual.

So both a totally mind controled jw and a totally duped citizen will believe everything that their authorities tell them is the truth and treat everything else, no matter how overwhelming, as coming from weirdos and apostates.

Actually, no. Both the JW and the conspiracy theorist believe that what we're being told, what virtually everybody accepts is not really true, but that rather, there is a sinister and covert operation involving virtually everybody in the world which only the privileged few really know about. They balk at how ordinary citizens can go about their day-to-day lives without being in constant fear of Satan the Devil or the Bilderburg group, depending on their delusion.
