  Could an EX-JW Dating Site work?

  hey!

  since the "in" and "active" jw's have their dating websites, what about us?

  at the moment, i see myself, at a future date, feeling most comfortable with someone with a similar background, someone who understood the issues left over from the experience of being a jw.

  nvrgnbk: That's a good point. I guess there would have to be more defined general filters, but at some point, I suppose the two people involved will have to work that out.

  ?.............whoa.

  nvrgnbk said "Your "filter" is full of potential contradictions, Bourne."

  Well,

  1. While I am serious about my proposal, as I was typing the list, I felt like joking around a bit, but if YOU are serious, how so?

  2. Isn't the membership spectrum here a contradiction, what with the wide range of religious (or non) beliefs? Surely you enjoy this diversity among us.

  Bourne, of the "can't we all just get along?" sheep class.

  sweetstuff said -----"It could work I think, biggest problem would be matching people up with where they "are". I know I wouldn't want to get involved with someone who didn't celebrate the holidays or still had some of the jw mindset. But other than that, I think it could be a good idea."

  I agree. A solution would be to include a unique filter for our site to add to the usual filters (religion, children,political leanings, etc.) . This could be: Religious Status: Pick one: athiest. agnostic. spiritual but not religious. Fading but still in. Successfully Faded.....but paranoid. DF but still ( relatively) moral, no holidays. DF and HAVIN' FUN,BABY! JW apologist in the vein of Ray Franz. Full Hedonist Mode....anything goes.

  Sounds to me like it would be worth a shot.

  As I think about it, maybe we should take the JW's advice regarding service but apply it to this situation: "Go where the people are." And since this is by far the most popular and visited Ex-JW site, this is the logical place to carve out a section for this use.

  Just think this part as the "table for 10" and the dating area as the "table for 2"..........or to put it in math terms.....+ times + = .....and maybe even .

  Anyone here with Simon's right ear?

  At the moment, I see myself, at a future date, feeling most comfortable with someone with a similar background, someone who understood the issues left over from the experience of being a JW. Some on this board have expressed such comfort with dating other ex-JW's for this very reason, with various outcomes.

  Would such a website work? COULD it work?

  Any thoughts? Any experience with this?

  i think i came across something that i'd rather not want so i'm going to test it on the next person that posts on this thread.

  if my suspicions are correct i'll need it fixed.

  i'll explain if it "works".
