I have a long history with the JW. To begin with I tried saying that, yes, I wanted to read the Bible (but of course the King James Version) and could we do a deal on what we read, Ecclesiastes and Job for me. So we started on their choices, Daniel and Revelations, leading via a tortuous argument from the dream in Daniel, all proving that only the JW were right and everyone else was wrong.
And then what happened is they asked me what I thought of their argument. This was clearly the time to speak up or join, so I told them it wasn't convincing. And that was it....no Job or Ecclesiastes for me.
Every few years they get new people who do the area and they turn up offering the Watchtower and the other thing. I don't feel so much now that I have to protect them seeing the awful standard of their literature. I feel sorry for the kids though.
