Prisca Hi
Interesting post . Actually although I collected mainly American comics I also bought British ones like 2000A.D which even 20 years ago was far more violent than DC and Marvel stuff . Talking about TV we wern't allowed to watch the Carry On films on tv because they were "too rude" . Also Grange Hill was out ( encouraged rebellious behaviour etc ) But once the Watchtower or Awake mentioned something specific my dad came down on me like a ton of bricks.
After comics I moved on to computer games ... well we know how witnesses feel about those.............

by butalbee ini'm not really sure if i have the right to spectulate about this or if i'm just being paranoid.
but why does it seem that some of the posts lately are being made by--false prophets??
it seems to be an odd similiarity to some of the posters and it's just been "urking" me lately.

Jerome : Do you want to make peace ?
Me: I didn't know we were at war
Ok so what else do you wanna know about jws from us ex-jw's?
So you're already involved with this girl who's a witness
Obviously she wants you to study
Obviously jws want you to study (I'm assuming you're who you say you are and are only 18 ... benefit of doubt etc)Obviously we here want you to run a mile from jws
What next ?
By the way where did you learn to spell?

Well Outlaw cheers .. I'm new here as you may know and you can obviously tell a false type or " lurker ".... What exactly is he up to ?I thought he was wanting advise about getting involved with jw girl. However I've been reading his posts past couple of hours !!
Anyway if he isn't jerome and is jw what's his point ?Rummy1

When I was a kid aged 11 I was A Jw kid but I absolutely loved to read and collect DC Comics (Superman Batman etc)
Then guess what happened ? The WBTS brought out an Awake codemning them !!! And guess what ... Yes I stopped collecting comics in June 1982 at the grand old age of 14 !
Why ? Because they are violent satanic and corrupting on a young mind of course.... What a load of CRAP !!!
The WBTS stole agreat part of my childhood away from me ... would they have preferred it if I collected porn mags ??!!(actually i did...secretely of course !!)
Anyone else had a similar experience ? -

Was Solomon apostate ?
by Rummy1 init occurred to me that solomon wrote at least 2 books of the bible and part of proverbs.according to jws (and bible) he later became "bad" and lost jehovah's favour.as far as we know the situation remained that way ; i.e.
he didn't repent and return to jah like other bible writers ( david etc ) .
so why were his writings allowed as part of the bible ?

HI this is rummy 1
Ican't believe the fantastic response to ISP's introduction to me on Tuesday . Thanks for all your supportive comments . It is very difficult to "break away " from something that really is a way of life for me . I was a jw since the age of 7 ... baptized at 16 married to JW pioneer at 22 etc reg pioneer , min serv etc thought very highly off etc etc .. but I must admit I started having my doubts about 92-93 especially when WBTS started to change their policy on education . This made me very bitter because I sacrificed all that to pioneer and it eventually affected my marriage ; because I made it clear to my wife that college and university were OUT ... she felt differently and rebelled against me and WBTS to pursue a secular career ..... Now she is doing extremely well financially ( we are divorced ) ... and gues what .. I am on the Pioneer " Scrapheap " of Hasbeens still waiting for Armageddon !!
Lucky or what ??? Anyway Now I'm getting free of all this crap and starting a new life thanks to people like ISP and you guys !!! Thanks to you all !!!!
Love, Rummy1
