If JWD was a religion what would you call it?

    I would call myself a Simonite after the founder. No one here need to be called apostates. Barry

    My second choice would be a Blondieite for her excellent WT articals.

    mmm...I don't know barry...I'm afraid if this was a religion I'd have to vacate the forum...

    I can see it now-

    JWD takes on a religious name __INSERT NAME HERE__ but is called "Simonites" for short. Then Simon sees the power he has and starts charging a fee for admission into the forum. Some leave but not much of a ruckus is caused by this change.

    Then Simon starts coming up with weird rules like you can't use the "S" in any words because that's too close to idol worship.

    Simon said the fees were going to go to build somekind of supercomputerserverthingamajig but it never happened and it gets out that Simon was using the money for tickets to soccer games or something (a few people leave) and then some really bizarre things take place on the forum and someone gets really ticked like...oh I don't know...Valis and Valis leaves taking with him a bunch of now ex-Simonites and they start their own forum...and...

    well, I don't know the end of this story but it sounds like a big mess to me.

    "Kneel before me !!" sayuth Simon, "for I am a vengeful god like my mate 'phsyco Jehobob' and like to do a bit of smiting at the weekends".

    You are henceforth known as 'Simonites' and have to pay me 10% of your income if you want to see eternal paradise.

    Also, I have your puppy ... 10% if you want to see that alive too.

    "The Society of Smoke and Mirrors" or "The Fuzzy Logicians".

    edited to add: oops, i thought you were asking about if you could rename the Jehovah's Witnesses . but i see you were asking if this place was a religion.(sorry, i just woke up)...

    A Simonite would need to be simonized and would no doubt be guilty of simony. JWD would stand for Jehovah's Witness Disection.
