We do not want to waste our time any more than you wish to waste yours.
We are not at your door to argue,
We are not at your door to "prove you wrong"
We are not at your door to force you to do anything.
I find it interesting when people take a single quote from an article that proves or disproves what Jehovah's Witnesses really believe.
It reminds me of those on Yahoo that say:
The bible teaches the world is flat.
God approves of rape and murder.
Have Jehovah's Witnesses made errors in understanding the bible, Yes.
Did they make prophecies, No.
The bible says the faithful men of old are returning to the earth.
The bible says Jesus is coming to judge mankind.
The bible says Jesus is going to distroy false religion.
Those are the prophecies.

First of all Jehovah's witnesses dont believe in the military or patriotism-----Have this person salute the flag before they enter---that will drive them away.
use this verse---"In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us." This verse indicates that Jesus Christ is God in human flesh. They believe Jesus is merely and angel in human flesh.
"If any man come unto me, I will in no wise cast him out."
Christ is all forgiving----the witnesses believe in excommunication--they have a limit to their forgiveness.
"Where the beast and the false prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night forever." Witnesses do not believe in a hell in the after life.
Ask them when the "new world" version of the Bible was written----it was in the 1960's with over 2000 scriptural changes to make the Bible fit their current faith. Ask if their founder has a pyramid for a headstone? Charles Taze Russell believed that you could determine the end of the world by measuring from the base to the tip of a pyramid. He guessed wrong, so in mockery, the people made his headstone a pryamid. Watch the video the witness at your door. Read Joshua Mcdowell handbook on todays religions. I could go on and on. On the 144000, show them the verse about how it is 12000 for the tribe of..... basically 12000 of each of the twelve tribes, Christ believing Jews left behind to witness during the tribulation, since the Gentile believers are raptured. NOT 144000 being the total number of Christians saved. email me for much more

As long as a Jehovah Witness reads from their Bible, you will never be able to convince them otherwise. The scriptures in the New World Translation are designed to agree with what they teach. Most likely they'll deny all the dates you've quoted, because most witnesses are not aware of those dates. My suggestion...don't waste your time.
Tell them not to ever return, because you're not interested. If they return, write a letter to their hall and insist they put you on a do not visit list. I've always thought it was rude for them to visit the homes of others preaching their beliefs, from their Bibles, but if that same person woke up tomorrow, visited their home with their Bible teaching their beliefs, a Jehovah Witness would probably call the police on them.

Sounds like you've done some homework. You have the actual citations of various publications to back up what you say.
However, just as Jesus said: Even if someone came back from the dead and told them, some would not believe. (Luke 16:31).
There are many many more citations that could be mentioned, but why bother? The ones you mentioned are enough to prove your point to a person who is able to discern between truth and untruth.

The best way to learn what to do to stop them is to contact a synagogue and talk to the Rabbi. Ask him how the ancient Jews got rid of the Christian Jews when they came around to their doors telling them that the beliefs, rituals, and holiday observances that they have followed for hundreds of years was no longer valid? I’m sure they had ways to get rid of the members of cult started by a man that had no formal religious education, and whose follows also had not formal education. Clearly they were brainwashed. Saul of Tarsus, a highly educated individual, proved they were false and that Jews needed to fight their false teachings, with all their strength.
So, just take a lesson from the ancient Jews. What worked for them against the Christian cult should work against the Jws.

Why argue? The best way to get rid of them is to answer the door naked. If they don't leave right away, invite them in, offer them a beer and a joint, and pretend to listen to their sales pitch while you play video games.

Simple. Just say, get off my property or I am calling the Police and have you arrested for Trespassing, then do it.

Please if you do not want to talk with us, do not. If you do, go right ahead, nothing as fun as a Bible discussion/debate.
