I recently had another encounter with two Jehovah's Witnesses here in Cape Town. As with last time, I was blessed by God to be able to deliver a fairly complete gospel (may the Lord use my humble attempt for His glory). I was also able to take control of the conversation and take it where I thought it had to go (thanks to God for this too).
But I perceived that I viewed this conversation as being much more "dangerous" than if I were talking to an atheist or Roman Catholic person, for example.
Can anyone identify with this? It's as if once you know they are JW's (or some other cultic group), you are more on guard and want to make sure you meet everything they say with the proper objection or defense (or offense). With other people, my feeling is that things are "easier", in that I don't have to be as vigilant.
I know that JW's are generally more learned about their own (false) system than most Roman Catholics, for example. Perhaps this is the reason for my thinking the way I do?

Or, am I giving them too much credit?
