    I have just read the first ever post here made by Simon in March 2000.

    http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/46/1/Welcome

    I wanted to ask, was this forum originaly created for active JW's to discuss study ideas and encouraging points from the Watchtower, etc?

    If so, when did it start accepting non JW's and exJW's?

    Good find TimothyT. I read two years worth in five minutes. That kind of banter reminds me of rain. And I just got here a couple of months ago, I never lurk, so I do not know when it went from Bible study to what it is now.

    I remember when i joined this forum in February there were one or two active JW's here, and i recall they wernt liked much. It seems odd then how the forum has evolved over time.

    If the original idea was to provide support and encouragement to Jehovahs Witness, the new idea is to provide support and encouragement for those who are no longer JW's - A total shift.

    Is Simon still a JW?

    If you are going to learn to be a REAL ex-JW you don't use apostrophes after JW or JWs. WRONG!

    I think we should make this a test of who is saved and who isn't.

    Also, most of the time when we write The Watchtower (meaning the Borg), technically it should be Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of PA. (The New York corporation, using it as one word is a shell game, owned by aliens from the planet Moog.)

    Did Simon ever post "Part 2" of his story? I found the first part engrossing.
