Couldn't have put it better myself nvrI'd much rather discuss politics, the very evident absence of God, booze, music, or how to help someone who's feeling down.
You know, stuff that really matters.
Grab some of that Cougar you're always talking about( I've never had, by the way) and some tunes and some friends and a fire and it's all good. Right, brinjen?
Sean Hannity is an expert debater. He bullies the opposition with a point that
they would rather not answer. His audience assumes he is right because he
bullies everytime they try to move on. If they just answer his point, then he
stays with that point, not allowing them to move on. Every now and again,
somebody manages to overcome his bully tactic and then they look like the
winner. This entire debate and who appears to win has nothing to do with the
issue at hand.
JW's similarly try to bully the debate, but really dodge the issues. Their
conversation stoppers build their own confidence. When someone is armed
and ready, they easily get past their bully tactic, but nobody really gets through
to the other person, and there is no real audience to win in front of, so it's silly
to bother.
I make points to the wife, but if it gets to a debate, I just get out of it. If I win,
she sees it as bullying and if I don't clearly win, she sees it as "JW's are right."
Same with most JW's, I suppose. No audience in personal debates, and only
JW's at a study or at the hall. Why bother?

Spot on! 9 o'clock tonight at your place then?

Amen, sister!
Sorry, OM.
I'm leaving now.
Can I just bum a drink or two and then hit the road?

OTWO:
Excellent observations on how some talk-show hosts control the stage and don't really allow for exchange of ideas. I agree that there's not much point in arguing in general and it doesn't appeal to me at all on a personal level.
I've just got a gut feeling that a "showdown" will happen sometime in the unforseen future, and I'd like to be a little better prepared than I am now.
Thanks.

I can't see any problem with that.
See?
We suck at debating.
face to face with next to any jw. I can't see me losing a debate. I fact I can't remember the last time a lost a debate with a jw. i haven't found a jw that can last 30 minutes with me in years.
I would do above average
I`ve never found any of them to be any good..All you get is circle arguements,lies,ignore evidence presented or questions asked..The only anything any of them are talented at,is Bullsh*t..It`s easy to rip them apart..Some have got really pissed off with me..LOL!!....OUTLAW
