The key flaw in the logic of this threads tittle is that it presumes "jehovah" is the name of the god of the bible. It isnt. Therefore they are not "restoring gods name".

Of course not fink. The one and only exception would be if there were a congregation with not enough men. There is "special provision" under those circumstances for women fo fill a variety of roles, up to handling the money (gasp!) but under no circumstance would they ever teach or hold an appointed position. And i have personally never been in a congregation where a women did anything other than sit her seat and clean after the meeting. They have let young kids (10 years old) carry a mike before they let a woman. -

Another reason god is a terrible "father"
by _Morpheus inits easy to look around and say if a singular all powerful were real he would stop the suffering of man and animal, a position i support.
however there is another even more basic premise i have pondered at times as well (im sure im not the first of course) : would any loving parent ever hide from their children?
consider it... our all knowing all loving father hides from us even though we cry out to know him.

Consider it... Our all knowing all loving father hides from us even though we cry out to know him. One of his so called authoritatve works says he created us with a spritual need, defined as a need to know him.... And yet this being refuses to talk to us, even once, in the course of our lives. At best he expects us to look at the world around us and get a sense of him. Wouldnt this be akin to having children, giving them a house but never meeting them. Then when they are adults telling them they should love you and should have KNOWN you cared for them because the house they live in must have come from somewhere?
the whole concept is rediculious and yet to a billion people its everyday "logic".

A mistake in pronoun selection by the paper. There is absolutly no way a sister is convention coordinator. -

So many of the rank and file lap this shineola up simply because he has the lable "gb member". Countless times i have called him a rubber faced buffon or just expressed how weird his overacting is and i get positively dirty looks from otherwise smart people... They dont want to see he isnt wearing any clothes.
