Daystar, It's a legitimate question which you and a couple others have taken apon themselves to answer for her. Let her speak if she chooses. What matter is it of yours? I'm curious as to her reasoning, not you disapproval of my question.

If you are talking about the question ...Why did she chose that name?...I can answer that as I was here with her.
I asked her what does she wanted to be called, jesus, jehovah...we had a laugh and she said lucifer!
BTW...Daystar is a friend of mine that's what makes it his business!
We can call ourselves anything we want to!! It is her preroative
Why do YOU want to know why she called herself that? -

Why do YOU want to know why she called herself that?
A question of curiosity. It sure got a couple of people's underwear bunched in a knot.
Why would you label yourself with the name of the enemy (lucifer)?
Strange thing to do since you say you've left the WTS. Since the WTS does not have the truth, it is a deception created by lucifer to lead people away from God's truth. Why then, if you have left the WTS and believe it to be a lie, whould you name yourself by the name of the father of lies?

Just who's enemy would that be?
Like I said we don't believe in the bible!
If you do that's ok, just don't assume that others do as well!
You know the old saying about people who assume things!

Satan is the enemy of God and of man. Not only Satan, but anyone who will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. The devil cares nothing for man, but wants to devour as many as he can while he has time. "? Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion , walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God . Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy ? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." I never said you believed in the Bible. I suppose that's a choice you have to make.
Did you believe in the Bible before you left the WTS? Is it because of the WTS that you no longer believe? If your idea of the Bible is the "New World Translation", then you've never read the true Word of God. The NWT is a false translation and has been translated to support the WTS doctrinal bias. God promises that if you seek Him with all your heart, he will be found. There is only one God and one truth and He is found in the God-man Jesus Christ, who died for you that you might have life. Put your trust in Him " for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved ."

'Joshua'.
mdb, Jesus was his Roman name. His Aramaic name was Jeshua, not Joshua. Joshua of the Bible supposedly fought the battle of Jericho the day the sun stood still until they achieved victory. If you are going to criticise, get your criticisms straight.
Lucifer was the ArcAngel of light, the most beautiful of God's creations. According to some histories. And why are you bent on blasting someone for using the name as their online handle? It's none of your business what anyone chooses to call themselves.
Get over it.

Thats nice. I shall stand partially corrected. I've only ever used the NWT. Also, the pronunciation used in "The Passion" was Jeshua. the WT used Jeshua. Another spelling is Yeshua. Jesus was also known as Jeshua ben Joseph ...son of Joseph.

Don't. It's false.

You are correct here. These are other translations.

Don't. It's false.I now consider most, if not ALL of the bible to be false history, and all references and uses of God and Jehovah to be from the sunburnt brains of a middle eastern male dominated nomadic group of people hellbent on domination and control.
The New Testament is the writings edited by the followers of a Roman who faked his own awakening and visions after he was refused entry into judaism and found a ripe group of people willing to acquiess to his leadership.
Jesus the Christ - Jeshua the Messia - would be appalled if he were to "come back" an see what has been done in his name with his original pacifistic teachings of love and tolerance.
Now. Back to our regularly scheduled thread postings ON TOPIC.
Welcome Lucifer!
