from the time i was a small boy - i loved rock n' roll music.
beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, hendrix.
i started getting slighted for the music i listened to as i lay in my bedroom listening on headphones to led zeppelin's song " black dog " at age 14 with my elder dad looking suspiciously at me as i'm rocking out .
I made a facebook post a couple years ago that went something like: Thank god for websites like Song meanings .com so I can finally know what KISS's Rock And Roll All Night is about.
I deleted it after someone didn't get the joke and explained that is was probably about groupies.
i have watched the trailer for this movie , and the bad guy in this makes the statement something like this, when asked who are you ?
his reply , i have been called many names over time , and yahweh was one of them .. will jw.org ban the jdubs from seeing it ?
being not suitable for a christian ?
Smiddy- You're thinking of the DC Captain Marvel/Shazam. DC sued the creators of Captain Marvel saying he was too much a copy of Superman. They won but eventually bought the character.
They didn't do anything with the character for so long that Marvel Comics eventually came out with their Captain Marvel who was an alien Kree warrior.
Getting back to the X-Men, pretty much all super-heroes are banned by the JWs. Someone told my mom once when I was a kid buying them that the "uncanny" that's in the title, The Uncanny X-Men is a demon word. One of my favorites was Daredevil and they used the logic, "There's the word devil right there in the title!"
i had never heard of this woman, but given prince's jw connection and this person's identification as an evangelist, is there a jw connection that anyone knows about?.

No JW connection at all that I know of.
The Prince connection was back in the early 80's. She was originally supposed to play the part that Apollonia got in Purple Rain but that fell through.
She got all religious after she nearly died from drug abuse in the early 90's.

Anyone else used to hear that RUSH stood for Rules Under Satan's Hand? I swear, one can make an acronym out of anything.
My mom was giving me crap one time for buying a Joe Satriani tape because his last name had the letters S, A, T, A, and N.
I also remember a couple pages that that was going around whenever anyone wanted to be critical of music. I wish I could remember more but it listed whoever was gay, had ever done drugs or got drunk or like The Police, used a word like "Mephistopheles" in Wrapped Around Your Finger. I wish I had a copy of that now.

Word got to the elders that 3 of my friends and I were going to one of those "rock concerts". We were all hauled into the back room and told how we were supposed to be role models for all the younger ones (we were all 20 or so at the time) and also worried we were going to try the pot at such a worldly place.
One of us backed out but me and two others went. Epic show of Deep Purple with the classic Blackmore, Gillan, Lord, Paice and Glover line-up.
We went to a bunch of other shows over the year. Never was a word mentioned to anyone so no need for further counselling.
so thinking back about the times when someone has asked my wife what religion she is.
she sheepishly and seems almost embarrassed to say she is a jehovah witness.
when someone asks me, i just say i am a christian.
@Vidiot
Well....dating myself here but it has been decades now since I went to a meeting.
have you heard that old chestnut?
i have.. typically it's the last resort when you have dismantled a jws beliefs and they have no way of defending them.
they know they are beat so they come out with that one.. its effectively an admission that you are right and they have no argument but they are still going to attend meetings because they like the social club.. what a lame way to defend your faith..

I don't know what it's like now, but I remember constantly hearing from the stage and reading that: "The "World" hates you! They know you have "The Truth" and they do not and they hate you for it!" "Every time you knock on their door and they don't listen it's like you're pouring salt on an open wound because they know they should be following the one true god, Jehovah, and they hate you for it!" "Blah, blah, blah and more crap!"
No wonder one doesn't want to proclaim from the hilltops their mighty love for Jehovah.
To me the name Jehovah just sounds stupid as well.
