It was entertaining, that's for sure.

JW is a pretty intensive cult. I've had friends who were in (and now some who are out) and they're taught to stay and listen as long as you wanna talk to them, because *eventually* you'll come around, lol. But that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile :)

JW's are not very intelligent. They may have been listening but I doubt they were understanding. They were probably hearing blah, blah, blah blah blah blah when you were talking.

JW's are one of the worst delusional groups out there.

That's awesome! It's terrific that everyone was able to remain civil and exchange ideas (or explain positions). I've found that those are extremely enjoyable exchanges. Kudos to you!

We spoke for about an hour... ;-)
I made it very clear at the beginning -before I even sat down- that this will be an exchange of ideas. I will not try to convince them of my way of thinking and I expect the same respect. "The moment you try to convert me, I'm up and out. The conversation will end." It was actually rather civil. They were surprised at how much I knew about the bible. One of them asked when I stopped believing (earlier in our discussion they asked my background and when I was young I was raised Baptist.) I said as soon as I could understand the words for myself - read them for myself instead of having them read to me or interpreted for me - I found it to be ridiculous. Age 10. They were respectful enough not to force what they believe. When I started to speak, they didn't interrupt and actually listened. I repayed the favor.
They were Jehovah's Witnessess... I've never actually sat down and spoken with JW's before... lol
Overall it went well. At the end we agreed to disagree.
That's the way it should be, I think.
