Do you still refer to God as Jehovah? (page 3)

I don't use the name Jehovah because I don't want to be tied to JWs in any way shape or form. I don't pray very often but when I do, I use God.

i realize this is a cultural thang, but i called my parents by their first name and my child called me by my first name. i think anything spoken respectfully is acceptable. i don't think god cares how you pronounce his name...he doesn't expect us to be able to speak a dead language, he expects us to be respectful...respectful of him, respectful of his son, and respectful of each other.

Our Father who art in heaven, not Jehovah. not even mentioned in NT.

The god of the bible was a war monger, him called Jehovah. A bad tempered tyrant that gave his people a law that they couldn't live up to in their wildest dreams. A god who commited genocide of such proportions that he can only be compared to the Hitlers and Stalins and Pol Pots of this modern era. A god who wanted to be worshipped out of quiverring, quaking fear. If i want to address a god it would be one that truly loved me. I will NOT address Jehovah!

I do! I dont pray very often, but when I do, I always refer to him as Jehovah. I dont know of any other god, born and raised in the "truth". Someone else made the comment that it doesnt really matter if you still do, I agree with that. I havent lost faith in Jehovah, I have lost faith in the wrong doing of the WTS. OK, give me hell.

Jehovah is a name associated with the Mosaic law and the early christians did not use it, the revival of its use is mainly a JW phenomenon they not only use this name but also they made it far more prominent than the name of Christ who is the direct head of the church.

So I don't like using if not anything else it smacks too much of Judaism.
