Do you find debating with a JW exhaustive?

    I certainly do.

    I have been debating with two JW's on another forum about the UN issue. I have produced so much evidence that the UN did have their citeria of support when the WT society became an NGO, all from the UN itself. Yet because the WT statements say that they didn't have that criteria and it was changed later the JW's refuse to believe anything else.

    Sometimes i think what's the point talking to these people. It certainly can be a mental drain.

    Yep, that's why I quit that habit. Do my own thing, you do yours, etc, etc.

    I don't think JWs know what a real debate is.

    They know how to argue.

    They know how to mimic.

    They know how to rationalize with circular logic.

    They know how to accuse.

    They know how to change and avoid topics.

    But in general, I don't believe they debate. Just getting them to stay on topic is exhausting. That's not a debate. It's more like herding cats.

    Why bother?

    If they want to engage me and know why I left, I stick with the few points that struck me the deepest and the ones that gnawed at my heart and conscience while I was still in.

    Indeed.....

    As long as they leave me alone, I'll leave them alone.

    But when they approach and attempt to corner me with their nonsense, I blow them out of the water so hard they're bone dry by the time they hit land.

    My wife doesn't even "go there" with me anymore.

    It's pointless, not exhaustive.
