Proposition 8, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Joel

"It's a curious fact ...let us acknowledge it...that the most well-known apologist today for Jehovah's Witnesses is an openly gay man."

  1. Thank you, Ivan, for picking up the link.

    Joel himself emailed me shortly after the post appeared, to say "......thanks for writing your blog about Prop 8 and me. It was a good read. I wouldn't call myself an "apologist" for JWs (plenty of doctrines I don't agree with), but I certainly value our Constitutional rights to speak, believe and live as we see fit."

    Just to clarify. I called him an apologist after seeing others call him that on the web. But he doesn't see himself that way. I'll shortly append my own post.

  2. Hi:

    No, the line was good.. I liked it. It had a "zing" to it.

    By the way, since I have the opportunity right now, I wanted to say that I enjoy reading your blog! It's a breath of fresh air from what others say and have said about Witnesses and related topics.

    Best,
    Ivan
