  This is either going to make you laugh, or feel sorry for her, or, like me, both... I'm SO glad I've escaped this insanity!! A sister sent me this email yesterday; notice her new email address, and why she changed it. (I've changed the email address and removed the names to protect her identity...)

  Friends,

  I have a new e-mail address, effective immediately.

  Please DO NOT group mail me, unless you include my address in the
  Bcc: section of your email. My email has been compromised and I am
  getting REALLY bad spam. Please do not pass on my email address to
  anyone without asking me 1st( unless it's a Bible study you want to
  pass on ;-) )..OK? Thankx

  The new address is: [email protected]

  Stay warm

  Then she sent us THIS one today... notice what she re-changed her email
  address to, and WHY:

  Friends,
  

  Got this from a Sister in reply to my change-o-address..

  "part of the reason we do not have Jah or God's name on our
  license plates or post HIS name on our front
  door placards is that we cannot guarantee the
  'cleanliness' or 'pristine condition' of these things, that they
  won't break down, or rust, get broken into and destroyed...
  for the very reason you have changed your email,
  the name Jah will be exposed to the junk of this world."

  Grateful for the counsel, I have yet again changed my email to :

  [email protected]

  Please post THIS one to your address book...and I won't plan on
  changing it again!

  too funny. Besides, having 1914 in your address, it's subject to being out of date in a couple of years if it isn't already.

  That is insane. What was the point? E-mails don't rust. What does it matter anyway?

  Wha-wha-what??

  Next step: Proclaim Jehovah's name silently so that worldly people don't know how to pronounce it - Jehovah's good name on the lips of the unclean? Unthinkable!

  EDIT: PS - WTS should stop printing His name on paper - it tears! it soils! it burns!

  Good Girl or Bad Girl?

  I don't get it, why she had to change her email in the first place, that is. You can add spam protection for free to many email accounts and then you don't have to worry about it.

  Anyway, some well-meaning sister counseled her, LOL, I'm so glad I don't have to put up with that BS anymore! Thanks for sharing. People who act like little elders and elderettes need to get a life.

  Yeah, it's a bit overboard... don't they remember that Jah has the power to protect his name and keep it clean?!

  I loved this reply from a friend; the first of her numbered bullet points slayed me. :-)

  I feel sorry for her on many levels:
  
  
  1) She has spam. 2) She picked I'm Jah's 1914 (icky, especially as 1914 has become more irrelevant) for email addy 3) Subsequently felt bad when "counseled" about using "name of God in vain"? (Holy phylactery-wearing Pharisees!) 4) Reflects new humbled attitude in "alwayslearnin" email addy.
