    Ahh, I just checked out and beliefnet and found the debate board you mentioned, RedhorseWoman - I see you are a host! :)

    Um...yes, yes I am....and it caused quite an uproar for awhile, but they've gotten used to it. For some reason, the JWs seemed to think that a host had to be absolutely neutral--which, if you check around, you'll find is almost impossible for me. Being neutral, however, is not a requirement for a host there, and they actually encourage spirited discussions, so it's pretty interesting. Most of the JWs there seem pretty open-minded and they don't mind discoursing with "apostates." That doesn't mean, however, that getting them to acknowledge a point is any easier than anywhere else. LOL

    As is typical, however, the two boards that are reserved for JWs only--the JW and Learn About JWs boards--are pretty quiet. The debate board, however, can get wild at times.

    Touchstone is an exception to the rule, in that it is run by JWs but allows open discussion of doctrine. Greektheology is another one.

    Ex-JWs are still not allowed membership, however, although I have no clue how they enforce that.

    does obed post here?

    He has popped in from time to time. I think that his user name was ObieFernandez. Is this the person you knew?

    Obed hasn't posted here in a while, but he used to. His username was obiefernandez. Focus allegedly did, too.

    A few of the other witnesses.net admins post here as well.

    (D'oh! Posting at the same time, RedhorseWoman.)

    Euphemism,

    Thank you so much! That's an amazing history... much, much more than I knew about. Crazy. Sounds like quite a few of the former mods are over here now. :) I really appreciate you listing that out. I once lurked on JWZone (back before I even had a connection to dubs, I think.. just out of curiosity!) but that for, maybe, a day. I didn't know what happened after that, until I had a REASON to look up JW stuff (got serious with my inactive dub boyfriend who is now my husband)... found this site, and from here, WitnessWorld.

    www.witnessworld.com -- but you can't get in at all right now. When they reopen "admissions" it will be by referral only, like PLN.

    Does it look to anyone else like that smiley has had way too much "upbuilding conversation"?
