Jehovah's Witnesses, will you join the debate?

I think the point of the verses pointed out, is to do exactly what it says. To reject, FOOLISH AND IGNORANT debates. This debate is anything but foolish and ignorant. Unfortunately, the application of this scripture is sometimes broadened to include discussing scripture with someone who may disagree with you, and not addressing substance.

Also, the comments cannot be true, because at the time of this debate (a while ago), Greg Stafford was in fact a JW, and wrote a book called "Jehovahs Witnesses Defended: An Answer to Scholars and Critics" which was the first serious scholarly defence of JW beliefs. I have one in my bookcase still.

In the last 6-7 years however, Greg Stafford has left the JW religion, over the doctrine of blood, 1914, and shunning.
