Why would they end their prayer with "In Jesus Name"?
because ALL Jw's end their prayers that way. Every time.

To possibly settle this issue when I said AMEN to that!, I was following in the great tradition of many charasmatic and Baptist traditions where AMEN! is used in every other sentence. Thank you.

I used to wear ties designed by Jerry Garcia all the time to meetings. What was funny was that I would get more compliments on those than anything else I wore.

I don't need to be forgiven. -

OK, maybe I am wrong about that ALL jw's end it that way. I heard it was "and through the name of Jesus Christ". But even so, why? When I pray I say "in Jesus Name, Amen", because I believe Jesus and God are one. Not an angel or king or whatever. Jesus was the human incarnation of God. So why would JW's pray to Jesus and not Jehovah????

Sorry, I have 23 years of EXPERIENCE as a Jehovah's Witness. Only thing it's good for is to correct factual errors like this.
Its all Jehovah this and Jehovah that. Why would they end their prayer with "In Jesus Name"? ... When I pray I say "in Jesus Name, Amen", because I believe Jesus and God are one. Not an angel or king or whatever. Jesus was the human incarnation of God. So why would JW's pray to Jesus and not Jehovah????
For a JW, praying in Jesus' name is not the same as praying to Jesus. Long ago, I saw it explained thus:Jehovah is the only true god, so it is illegitimate to pray to everyone else. However, the Bible says Jesus is the only way to approach god, so you have to recognize his authority, and that's why we pray "in Jesus' name."
In other words, they do it because they feel they have to. If you're saying that your JW friends don't pray "in Jesus' name", maybe they've decided to reduce cognitive dissonance*. I will corroborate* your perception that JW's really have very little use for Jesus.
I'd offer you scriptural citations, but I've forgotten them all.

Hi Apostateman
I don't mean to join the bandwagon, but over here in the UK, we all ended our prayers with "in Jesus name, Amen". Our roughly like that.
Changing the subject back to daring things - I was always REALLY tempted to wear TROUSERS to the kingdumb hall - unfortunately i never had the courage to do it. Dam!
And by the way - for those not in the know (Apostateman) - it is not advisable for sisters to wear trousers to the kingdumb hall, unless she wants to be counselled by some brother wearing a really BAD 70's shiny suit!!

A figure of Mary in your car. The letter "A" on your garmet. A "support freedom" bumper sticker. A big ole nasty hicky on your neck. HA, Now that would be a hoot.

Hey,
Joy2bfree used to take Ray's Crisis of Conscience to the meetings to read. I used to sit in back with my laptop computer and write posts for this board during the meetings.
