Hmmm... I hate it when demons attack me in my sleep. Hating a religion is one thing, but hating a name is another. Jehovah is just the meaning of what HE is. The book says He causes to become. The word Jehovah is a translation of that. Like John the Baptist, people knew who he was based on what he did. A translation of that today could be something like John DiBaptist. An identifier of that person.
I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah

Understandable. I recall feeling hate for the word and what it meant. Now I find the word has no effect. And I like that. -

Maybe to get over our aversion we should think of him rather as the dessert God, bringer of fine chocolate mouses, ice cream, and apple crumbles. -

Until your attacked by demons, the WORD comes in pretty handy. I've been attacked several times, believe me it sucks. I find salvation in that word. The organization just needs to step it up with accuracy, and bounce some of their rules. The love they try to teach is a bit conditional to me. -

Sorry Cofty, you wrote some pretty awesome posts, like the one on blood, the best man. But I love the name Jehovah and what it stands for. Now the JW's on the other hand, yes, they need a lot of work. -

Jehovah's name is a strong tower and to it the righteous runs... was etched on my brain growing up. -

I don't mind Jehovah by itself, but not Jehovah's Witnesses or Jehovah God. I wondered why we are told to be close to God & view him as a father BUT at the same time we address him impersonally as Jehovah or God RATHER than call him something that signifies closeness & rapport such as addressing him affectionally as dad! -

I hate it now because I know it's their fake Pseudonym for Watchtower. Jehovah is a figure head.
Put Jehovah first = Put WT first
Draw close to Jehovah = Get more involved with WT
Obey Jehovah = Obey WT leadership
