    No need to fight boys and girls. Raising questions, and confrontation can both be effective. Depends on the audience. Personally, I respond better to the "raising of questions" method. Others need to be slapped in the face with confrontation.

    Watson, of the "I don't, or wouldn't want to hold a candle class."

    Who here thinks it is like in the Mcarthy Era?

    Homosexuals hid it from their families and employers because they dreaded the consequences.

    They were true unto themselves but PRIVATELY.

    Former members of the communist party kept it quiet too.

    THERE WAS TOO MUCH TO LOSE IN TELLING EVERYBODY STUFF THEY DID NOT NEED OR DESERVE TO KNOW.

    This is not hypocrisy - it is a SURVIVAL strategy.

    How many people born as Muslims in Muslim countries, have read and understood modern science and do not really believe in Allah? WOULD they openly say this? They are not hypocrites, they just want to stay alive.

    Similarly, in Muslim states there is the same percentage of the populace who are homosexual. Faithful Muslims say that "FEAR of God" stamped it out centuries ago. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

    JWs live in what is increasingly like a polce state, where your own family will inform on you.

    Those of us who really love our family, and hurt when they hurt find it very hard to blow our life and happiness away by telling everybody "I DONT BELIEVE IT."

    Johnny, ok, you win. You're better than me and I suck. And I'm sure you have a bigger member than I do too. (Still, I think seeing a doc might not be a bad idea, bro.)

    Minimus: i took your advice and had two sessions of THERAPY this morning. first i went to the local donut shop for coffee, and embarrassed 5 jw's sitting there sipping coffee counting time with a wt mag sitting on the table. after about 10 minutes of my questions that none of them could answer. they had the nerve to ask me to move to another table away from them. I just laughed , and told them their ministry is nil and void. if they can't even talk about this weeks book study. they got up and left the coffee shop, without finishing their breakfast. next i ran into 3 teenage jw's, mag's rolled up in hand heading for the local hall. i schooled them on some wt crap. and wrote a few web sites on their mag. they were pretty cool and i told them not to waste their life for the wt. they even shaked my hand after talking with them. thanks Mini for the idea you were right i needed therapy and it only cost $2 for the coffee and donut. I feel so much better now. john

    Johnny,

    I hate to tell you this, but you can't "win" an argument with a JW.

    No Apologies; I don't mean to be rude. but I allways make jw's walk away SHAMED, with their heads down, it's an art, after they talk with me they know they lost. NO IF'S AND'S OR BUTT'S. I make sure of it. never under estimate me. it's up to me how long i let any jw last with me. argueing with jw's is easier than taking candy from a baby. john

    Johnny, you sure are full of yourself. You think always shaming JWs is the best way to deal with them huh? Making them feel down after talking to you makes you feel like an artist? Wow. You're so effective. And sometimes you either get people to run away from you or shake your hand. You're always the winner! And you make sure of it! No one should ever underestimate you. Yup. Clearly, you misunderstand professional therapy and its benefits for you----but of course, how could YOU miss the point of anything when you're always right?

    Wow, this place has been so mellow lately, I'm glad to see some feisty-ness. I am wondering why we don't have random JWs with magazines hanging out all over my town!
