Ask him how he can be a Jehovah's Witness if he has never seen Jahovah. And ask him if god was asked how much would could a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood x5 divided by 0.666

Heh, this guy was actually really nice. I invited him in because frankly, I was curious if Jehovah's Witnesses were the same as all other Christians.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the answers he gave. He said they were politically neutral (with a live and let live attitude), they believe in actually researching older versions of the bible (rather then just believing in King James), and most surprising of all is that he said that there was no hell (a belief I share).
Overall, the experience was a good one and I walked away knowing more then when I started, what else could anyone ask for?

the last Jehovah's Witness that came to my door was interesting.
she was telling me how she couldn't die and would live in her body forever.
I told her I'd be right back...I was going to get my gun to prove her wrong.
I shut the door and peeked outside.
She was running up the street as fast as she could.
I ran out after her yelling..."So much for your FAITH bitch!~"
hehehe
that was about 8 years ago...
and they haven't been back since.
I think they have my house on the don't contact list!~

I wonder if atheists should go door to door, holding a high school science book, asking if "you'd like to talk for a little bit about atheism?"

I'm surprised you don't see this already. There's certainly plenty of atheists who are self-righteous enough to do this. I think the problem is that they lack the dedication for evangelism.

You guys have the wrong idea.
The most fun thing to do to a Jehovah's Witness is to beat them at their own game.
Ask them about drugs, they will then tell you that Jehovah's Witnesses abstain from drugs (with the notable exception of alcohol) over concerns of cleanliness, mental slavery, and harm to your body.
Then calmly tell them you find this odd because in Mark 7:18, Jesus specifically states that nothing which enters your body from the outside can ever defile you (or make you ritually unclean, depending on translation) and that true defilement can only ever come from within.
This will probably be followed by some kind of stunned silence
That's usually a good time to tell them that you're uncomfortable accepting religious advice from someone who clearly isn't as familiar with the bible as they could be. They might protest at this point, but you can remind them that modesty and piety, are virtues above all others, and not to sing the praises of their own "biblical knowledge".
With any luck at all, you've shaken their own faith, and the Jehovah's Witness can begin his/her personal road to healing.
