O.K. So my son after sending the 2nd letter you guys read the other day , the next day gets this response from his mother. You will notice in reading the 1st paragraph of this response , I believe the first half of the 1st paragraph is a quote from some Watchtower publications or something to prove God's existence , then after in the second paragraph she gets down and dirty trying to " convert " my son back. So here it is, see what you think , and would love to hear your takes and advice.

" In recent centuries God's name has been used in many other places besides the Bible. For example , the Latin words ," May Jehovah God be praised ", are found on gold coins that were minted for many years in Switzerland . More than 60 different so-called " Jehovah " coins are known from the time of Christian the fourth, King of Denmark, and Norway who ruled from 1588 to 1648. The die engravers represented His name by the 4 Hebrew letters translated in English as JHVH or YHWH . During 150 years after the end of the 30 years war , Gods name continued to be struck on coins, medals, and tokens . Such coinage was minted in Austria, France, Mexico, and Russia. But by the early 1800's it was less and less . " (End quote) One of my return visits has a wonderful Bible from 1800 , it's big, he got it when in Europe. He turned to Psalm 83: 18 and it said, ( You know, blah, blah, blah whose name is Jehovah ) Jehovah means causes to become , whatever Jehovah has to do he will . Just like when he saved the Israelite nation through the Red Sea, yes they have found " gold hub caps " , at the same place.
I will check on what you said, I had heard about this young girl also. ( She means the girl my son mentioned in his previous e-mail who was a child abuse victim ) I can feel that you do not like to have any boundaries, you don't want to answer to anyone it sounds like . When you were very little , do you remember your first talk ? Yes, the ten commandments, " honor your father and mother, you must not murder, neither committ adultery, steal, testify falsely, ( and on and on ) . You see Jehovah loves people and wanted to take care of these ones so He talked to Moses, and used him to tell His people , how they should live. Before that He used Enoch, all through history Jehovah has used people , here on earth , etc. Is not God's laws good for us ? Look what happens when the world has gone crazy . I want to know I can trust the one I love. And the love that is worldwide in God's organization . No other religion can go in all countries and be studying the same information on Sundays worldwide in the Watchtower magazine . Not even the U.N. can top that , only because it is God ran ( the organization ). I had to leave earlier, a sister needed help on her talk. I will talk to you later , I have service all day tomorrow, Love Mom.
So, there you have it. Her 3rd response. So what if anything do you think my son should write back in return to this ? Any suggestions ? You can see from this, her thoughts roam all over the map with not much continuity. It seems to me she was basically trying to convince him of God's name, and show him God is still using an organization today. So I look forward to your comments as my son told me he is interested in all your takes on what or how he might respond to this. So I welcome all your responses ! Thanks for reading this, Peace out to all, Mr. Flipper
