JW I assume JWs do not approve of coming to this sort of board forum

[BobRyan]

I see some threads with JW prefix and I started on here myself -- but I assume their own organization would not approve of them visiting a site like this much less participating in the discussion.

Or have they come here?

It is true that they are generally discouraged from being unequally yoked, if you will. However, it is ultimately up to the conscience of each individual. Greg Stafford (no longer a practicing JW) gained a bit of notoriety in the apologetics scene when he began publishing materials in defense of JW doctrine and even did a couple of debates. I believe he is still around.

EDIT: And by "still around," I just mean having an online presence. I don't believe he is on this forum.

I recall seeing them when the controversial theology forum was the unorthodox theology forum - but haven't seen them since the "Christians Only" policies were implemented.
