I feel very sorry (page 2)

" i am sorry you were upset" is the statement i use when someone takes umbrage at what i say.... because truly i do not say things that i do not believe and i do not apologize for what i believe..... that simple statement conveys that their being upset was not my intention, but neither are their feelings/reactions my responsibility.....

anyone who has spent any time in couseling knows whereof i speak..... the use of "I" instead of "you" in statements is one of the first things taught ( and hopefully learned)... so it is fair to say " i am upset by your statement" rather than " you made me upset"

don't take it on, ms. grace....

Granny its not about your physical size

Hello! Mrs. Doubtfire, I came across your post and there is no reason for you to feel sorry. Bob Porter is a very mature man and he certainly was not offended by you not using the name Jehovah. The main reason we used the name Jehovah on our conference call and on our website www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com is to make it more friendly or at least in Jehovah's Witnesses vernacular or language more appropriate. In our house church, Upper Room Ministries, we very seldom use the name Jehovah. We refer to God as 'father', Jesus, Lord. So there is no reason,Mouthy, for you to feel upset today, and we never want you to say you are not coming on our conference call again. WE would miss our 'caller from Canada' as you add so much "color". The recording of the May 24 call will be online this week. You can play it back and see that nobody was offended by your not wanting to use the name Jehovah. Below is a link to previous conference calls.

Dear Grace.....if you want to put things into the context of size then the size of your wonderful hearthas to be mentioned!

How thoughtful of you to make an open apology this way and anyone with a lick of sense would immediately dismiss any hard feelings if there were any. I feel exactly the same way about using or praying to the "name" of jehovah, since I have learned that (1) it was made up and (2) is not the name above all others as the WTS claims. (Phil 2:9, 10)

Put it out of your mind and go have a terrific day.

Love & hugs always,

Annie

There you go Granny Grace, Koolaid wasn't upset with you. I am happy that he got back to you, I didn't like to think that you were spending such a beautiful day worrying about it.

I hope you feel better now.

I mentioned the name Jehovah ....That many who leave the WT hold it in contempt.

I can't see this being a big deal, don't worry about it he's a big boy he'll "Get over it". Don't be hard on yourself probably there really are a lot that do feel that

way.

cheers
