God.
I think it might be disrespectful to call him by his name.
What do you call Jehovah now that you are not a dub?

I still think of his name as Jehovah. But I haven't said one prayer since my decision to leave JW life last July. Guess I am not sure how to, or what to say.

I don't use Jehovah as much as I used to.
I feel more comfortable referring to God as my heavenly father.

The most cruel uncaring sensitive useless thing that was ever invented. ( btw, the watchtower view of Jehovah is what I base this on )

I tend to call him Father or Heavenly Father. Before my mind and heart were filled with the poisonous God called Jehovah of the WTBTS religion, I viewed him as a kindly, all powerful grandfather type god who cherished us unconditionally. I never entertained the idea that there was something he could not forgive me for. Or you for that matter.
If I say Jehovah, it is out of ingrained habit. The name makes me uncomfortable because Jehovah became known to me as a bloodthirsty, angry, impatient, jealous reservoir of dynamic energy. I tend to choke on the name if I say it.
I wonder how it is really pronounced. Also, as was pointed out previously on this thread, we usually don't refer to our fathers by their personal name.

Jeboeboe
After the kids all moved up a year, one teacher asked why one child she'd taught the year before was stood outside assembly. Turns out he'd told his new teacher he was a "Jeboeboe witness" to get out of it.
