  i'm new to the forum.

  i've never been a jw, but know someone who is.

  if it's alright, i'd like to ask a question from time to time to help me understand why they believe the way they do.

  Finally home.. busy day... now looking out my window at the woods. Quiet finally after about 1 hour in traffic.

  Crumpet, I've given this same presentation so many times, I could do it in my sleep. It's powerpoint, and of course I had all that public speaking training in the ministry school....

I'm early to avoid traffic, so I got a cup of coffee and intend to enjoy the view and conversation until I have to speak. Wireless is a beautiful thing!

  you know the school jw's set up to keep their kids separate from the world.

  Try asking Marilyn at the 800-why-1914 help-line. She is a counselor...and might be able to refer you to someone,

  I taught at one for a couple of years. The schools in our area at the time were awful. My daughter went k-2 there in exchange for my teaching. She was ahead of her class when she went to public school in grade 3.

  The school is no longer in operation. Kinda fell apart.

  classmates.com... a jw witnessing tool?

  i joined classmates a few days ago... just a temporary membership...to see what it's all about.

  when you're a member you can join message boards that have to do with interests you might have.

  one of those groups discusses religion, and it's one of the largest groups.

One of those groups discusses religion, and it's one of the largest groups. I scrolled through the topics, an lo and behold a jw has been using it for field service for a very long time. He discusses the daily text. I was going to post and ask if he's counting his time... I just didn't have the energy.

  Anyone other members?
