i have posted questions on christian web sites.
those questions have always been polite and i have never used questionable language.
the questions weren't exactly in support of christians though.. what did i get for my efforts?.
JWTalk seems to be the JW website to go to if you want to see how active JWs respond to your commentary.
I think skeptics in the pub sounds fun-so long as there is an actual pub involved. I don't drink, and I am a believer in God, but I enjoy a lively discourse among thinking people:) Have fun!
when i conducted the wt study and the article was on marrying only in the lord, it seemed that the ones who commented the most were persons who married a non-jw.
in fact, they were the ones that always told the young single jw girls to pioneer and never marry a worldly person.
"because i know what its like and believe me it's no fun" .
i was walking in an empty area of a main street recently when i noticed an elderly woman with stacks of magazines headed towards my direction looking as though she's on a mission.
she drew closer to me, and made eye contact.
do you have children, are they jw's?.
from reading my previous post many of you know i am a worldly person and have been a life long child advocate.
my heart goes out to the jw children and women.
these last 5 months education here and jwfacts, jwstruggles, has been very enlightening.

I'm feeling kind of mortified that any of what we say sounds JW ish! Some here could refer you to an actual pro JW site and you can see how it goes, pasting the same stuff as you have here, and tell us how it goes.
Welcome! I've never heard movies before. Which continent do you hail from?
the new jesus book ("the way, the truth, the life"), page 92 says this:.
"once jesus has performed that healing, he uses the occasion to confirm that non-jews of faith will be favored with blessings, saying: many from east and west will come and recline at the table with abraham and isaac and jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.
what about faithless jews?
it would seam that the changing of the type anti-type teaching kills their claim as the faithful and discreet slave class as it is only a parable according to peter at luke 12:41. obviously i don't think they will ever come out and actually say that the f&ds is just a parable, so when one asks what will the answer be, to spin out of this obvious problem?.
also what do you think is the reason for the change in this teaching?
is it more to do with getting rid of doctrine that can be criticized or could it be that they are trying to make it as though they are really not in control of the congregations so as to say we aren't responsible when the prosecution comes knocking over future pedophile case?
vindication i (book, 1931) pp.156-157.
the church congregations of christendom are attended chiefly by women, and women have much to do with the policy thereof.
in many of the church organizations women occupy the pulpit and preach and prophesy.

No. Kendrick is hiding, trying to pretend that NONE of this has anything to do with him. Hiding behind his wife. . . wives. And stepdaughters. And granddaughters. He doesn't give a shit about the WTS or the women or JWs or even himself. He is a dead creature, no longer even human.
Fisherman is a deluded, defensive JW who is trying to make sense of the insane.
before i explain why, i've never really given anyone a background on myself, even though i've been a member here for 2 1/2 years.
so i'll try and make this quick.. i was raised a jw my whole life.
i know many jw's in the seattle area and eastside.
I grew up in Seattle also-a lot of wonderful JWs, and a few who singlehandedly drove out many. There are a few I would go back for, but they are mostly gone now. The elder who told me his truth about 1975. . . I wish I knew what happened with him. He soon "relocated".
I am sorry your friend endured so much. I'm glad she can't be harmed by men anymore.
