the only person that i have ever known of is gregg stafford, whom is no longer associated with the jw's.

i remember a poster on here that talked about several jw apologist (not posters) that were more respected in the jw community than stafford was.

2. friends
i have scoured the internet, and came up blank.

i found a dead link to the feb 15, 2008 but found noting for the 6/15/09.. these are very important issues, and i really need a pdf for proof of the doctrinal changes they contain.. the june 15 2009 details that the gb will not listen to or consult with the new fds/anointed.

the feb 15 2008 is the much famed generation change issue.. .

Greg Stafford no longer a JW
by My Struggle in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this may be old news to some while most won't even know who he is.

in case you don't know him, he was a jw that defended many of the jw doctrine publicly.

he did this mainly in the form of two books, jw's defended and three dissertations on the teachings of jw's.

2. friends
this comes from a religious study of several faiths which included jehovah's witnesses.

there is a ton of data in this research and there are several things that are very interesting about jw's especially when compared with other denominations/faiths.

you can do a basic search of the study here http://religions.pewforum.org/portraits .
