Mouthy I will not supply any rocks for your garden...I have way too much respect for you! At this time I have not been able to disassociate the belief in a god from the WT lies...so I abstain from believing.

We have a TV show called 'Derek' here in the UK.
One of the characters said something along the lines that it doesn't matter if you pray or not because he'd prayed and not got what he wanted and not prayed and got what he wanted.

In 1969, the Watchtower published a reference book called "Aid to Bible Understanding." On pages 884 and 885 they explain that the Jews used to insert the vowels of "Adonai" into the Tetragrammaton "YHWH" to remember to say Lord (Adonai) instead of God's name while reading the sacred texts. The two words put together read: "Yehowah." In the year 1270 a Dominican Spanish monk by the name of Raymundus Martin published a book called "Pugeo Fidei" in which he wrote in the latinized form of "Yehowah" as "Jehovah". He was the first to do so.
The Watchtower realizing what they had done replaced "Aid to Bible understanding" by an other work called "Insight on the Scriptures, Vol. 1 & 2," © 1988 and removed that entire explanation.
The mention of the book is also not available on the Watchtower CD Rom when searching for Raymundus Martini. Therefoire, Jehovah's witnesses continue to believe the lie that Jehovah is really God's name and the explanation that Jehovah is the English renderring of Yahweh when the truth is that Jehovah is the LATINIZED form of the Hebrew hybrid false name "Yehowah."
If Jehovah's witnesses would know this then the entire religion would fall appart since they wear a false name since 1931 and give witness to that false name wherever they go. -

LouBelle "jah as pathetic as the greek gods."
Steady on there LouBelle, I have more than 300 hundred Greek gods that I keep in a jar. They are very small gods.
The petulant bullying Hebrew desert god Jah, despite sounding like a container for my gods, exists only in the ancient writings of the bible and the imagination of the Israelites. I spent 20 years talking to him before I realized I had, been had!

I don't believe in the WTBTS's " Jehovah ". We should be helping people. What is going to make people wake up? It doesn't matter if you are an atheist or Christian, or what.. Help your neighbor! Help because it's the right thing to do!

God is not responsible for the suffering that we inflict upon one another. Mankind has the world that it has created. That it has wanted. That this world did not turn out the way mankind thought it would - is not on God, who has warned and taught and gone unheeded.
Sickness and death is part of the physical. It is in the flesh. Natural 'disasters' are part of a living, moving universe.
But the suffering that mankind does to one another (and that includes some deaths from sickness and natural disasters).... is on mankind.
peace,

I once felt the same way ... where's God ...
It was through helping my JW niece, victim of sexual abuse by JWs that I understood how God, the Heavenly Father, didn't fail my niece, it was this world we live in, her parents who failed her, it was her parents' job to protect her and they failed badly at it, ... my poor niece had to deal with the same question and pain a trillion times greater than me ... I did all I could do to walk with her through her recovery, I even put a legal demand against the JW in El Salvador from here Houston, TX, something very difficult ... when her dad a df'd drunk driver JW that was deported from the USA (but that thinks that a df JW is still better than anybody out there) ... I was happy that he was going to personally persecute this JW over there by making sure the demand would proceed now that he was there ... NOPE ... he got there to try to be reinstated and live his life, got divorced from my sister, got another girlfriend in the process, etc. As time went by and we saw that he was not proactively doing something to bring justice to her daughter, a sadness for my niece developed in my heart, I notice she was sad and started telling me that it didn't matter to her that her dad wasn't doing anything to defend her now, but I knew she was sad and heart broken, it was then that the Heavenly Father spoke to my heart and made me see who had really failed her and keep failing her. In the meantime now that we know the Truth - JESUS - and we have a personal relationshiop with God, the Heavenly Father (not Jehovah) through Jesus, we have seen how God has always been here helping her. My niece ran away from JW home as soon as she turned 18 and came to me, someone that was already out of that org, someone that could help her with her issues and take care of her and protect her even from her JWs parents. When she was in the psychiatric hospital due to PTSD and tried to commit suicide and was acting like a little girl (she regressed to the time she was 5 years old) was the the point where I broke down. I came home and cried out to God in anger, I told him it was his fault and that now he had to fix it, I told God how my sister for being in that stupid organization that supposedly is his organization had left my niece with this pedophile so she can go preaching door to door or conducting bible studies. My sister for doing "God's will" put my niece in danger. Oh how much I yelled at "God" that day. All of a sudden my heart became hot and felt big and a voice heard inside my heart - not my mind - told me "she will be whole again" .. a great peace came over me ... and love ... and I stopped crying and I didn't hurt anymore ... sure enough ... my niece didn't came out cured from the hospital, she was still acting like a little child at home but it was a process ... now she has her own apartment, she has a job, she goes to college, she has a Lexus car, she travels, she always tells me 'Tia' (aunt) I am so happy and blessed ... it seems that everything she wants she is able to get, she doesn't even know how ... but we know it is our Heavenly Father
Anyway, I have learned that we shouldn't ask "where's God in this and that" BUT "where AM I in this and that" - can you believe that if every so called Christian including myself would adopt an orphan child, we didn't have orphans in the world, and so on ...
As humans we are free to choose good or bad ... as a Christian I now know that choosing bad originates from the devil ...it was him to offer that second option - "knowing good AND evil" ...
Trust me a lot of people out there fight for their "RIGHTS" to have sex with children, they travel to other countries where HUMANS look the other way, where HUMANS choose not to do good and defend those children... I have learned it is not a God issue it is US, our issue ... it is our FREEDOM, our COMFORT, our APATHY that creates the evil in this world ...from the little of cases to Genocides ..

Witness My Fury
TEC if some naughty kids were messing about with matches, fireworks and petrol and you have warned them about the dangers and 2 minutes later they are on fire and screaming in pain and missing some fingers, would you stand by hands on hips saying I told you so, or would you lift a finger to help them?
It's very telling that "god" doesnt lift a finger, because he doesnt exist.

Bella - Where was your god when 250 000 people were wiped out in minutes in the Asian tsunami?
Once you answer that we can talk about human responsibility.
