Is this for real?

    Is the Society really ok with this or is there like a rebel band of witnesses who set these up and run it against the societys wishes?

    I wonder what the word in the KH is about sites like this. I know when I was a JW I would never have believed I'd see something like this...not legitimately run by JW's anyway.

    Might I suggest that some here take a look at this site?

    I think it is for real, but it doesn't mean that the society approves of it. It probably is run by a real JW though. I was on a different jw single site in the past when a JW and when the elders learned of my being on it, I got the 'not a good idea' talk.

    Sns, I guess you are right. I emailed them expressing genuine jw-like concerns (haha) and apparently they dont care whether the society approves or not. This is what I recieved in reply

    I'm not sure how the society feels about this site but I can tell you that
    our purpose to help Witnesses from around the world to be able to meet and
    interact online in a safe environment. If you are single, we hope you will
    join soon.

    Geez, witnesses have it a lot easier these days than when I was a young horny teen. I wonder when they will start the JW 'escort' service.

    I am sure this fits into their definition of "beware the voice of strangers'. In due time likley there will be an article in the Awake or a KM about this. Maybe even a letter to the elders.

    Hahaha, I did not look at the site long, but I wonder if it has a meter on it to determine a brother/sister's spirituality. After all, isn't that the only qualification a single JW needs to get married?

    Hi, flower.

    Would this type of man brother interest you?...

    Single White JW Male from Ohio Seeks Humble, Submissive (non-sexual submissiveness) Regular Pioneer Sister (or, at least, Regular Auxillary Pioneer) of Any Race (or Gender). I have one blue eye and one brown eye. I have a FOUR-DOOR car that is GREAT for holding FOUR (and sometimes FIVE) passengers for Field Service activity(ies). I have an elder-type briefcase that I bring to the meetings that can hold YOUR literature too! Just think, if you marry me you will never have to carry a briefcase to the meeting again. Ever. I am an aspiring Elder and I give AWESOME #2 Talks Readings. I have gotten 30 consecutive G's on my Speech Counsel Slip. After I read the Watchtower at a Sunday meeting, everyone comes up to me and says, "Brother, your reading was excellent today!" Oh, and NO ONE handles a microphone like me. I've been called the Picasso of mic-handling because I consider it an art form. So, if you can cook, clean, and Pioneer (and if you have proper head coverings when I pray with you), then YOU are the one for ME!

    I would say that it is not a legit site.... would a real JW even have any mention of drinking or smoking prefs?

    I am an evil person .... like to me them and show them the light!
