  in the few times i have prayed since leaving the dubs i notice i catch myself -- "dear heavenly god jeh----......" there's just so much emotional baggage connected to the name.

  i wish to leave it behind altogether.. b.

  Ona:

  A "brief patch of atheism"???

  After coming out of the b0rg, I did some studying of the origins of the Bible. I found many flaws in the way it was written, and some inconsistencies etc. It was at this point that I slowly but surely lost faith in God and Jesus.

  After reading a thread on JWD though, I got to talking to someone about the Bible. Once again, I found myself building my faith in Jesus from scratch.

  Why did you "acquiesce"?

  At this time, when I was praying, every time I wanted to say Jehovah, I got a gut feeling that it wasn't quite right. I wanted the feeling to stop. I tried using "God", and although it still wasn't quite what I was looking for, it seemed a little better.

  Now, after studying a little further, I believe there is a reason for this. In praying to Jehovah, I was praying to the Father. Jesus was sacrificed to become our mediator to the Father, so in being our mediator, he is the one we should speak with. I think that the reason the gut feeling subsided is that in praying to God, I was praying to Jesus (the Son) as well, not just specifically the Father.

  I now pray to Jesus pretty much all the time, and my faith has been restored 100-fold.

  Hey Bradley... I had this same problem when I started praying again after going through a brief patch of atheism. I was praying, and all of a sudden, something wasn't quite right when I tried to say Jehovah. That time, I acquiesced and used "God", which still felt strange, but not quite as bad.

  After speaking with a close friend, he pointed out a scripture to me. All of a sudden it made sense.

  Acts 7:59, 60 59 They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"
  60 Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them!" Having said this, he fell asleep.

  Now compare what Stephen says with what Jesus says on the cross.

  Mark 15 34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" which is translated, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

  See the difference in who prays to who? Try following Stephens example, you'll feel much better...

  I would call my wife, and tell her I will see her on the other side.

  Then bow before Jesus, and allow him to take me.

  Secret handshakes and greetings...

  by FMZ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, this is more about the various things that people do with their "homies".

  that weird thing where it starts out like a handshake, but then the hand comes around and grasps the thumb, then opens flat, so your palms are against each other, then they slide off.

  (hard to describe...lol) someone did this to me once, and i had no idea what was going on, he had to teach me it.. you see, i was just coming in to work, as the guy before me was leaving... he told me to enjoy my trip to dallas etc... then raised his arm, and bunched up his fist, and then apparently stared at my shoulder... it looked like he wanted to give me a buddy-shoulder-jab, but wasnt close enough, so i stepped towards him.

  The only thing Gumby is allowed to shake in Dallas is his Pokey, and even then he is limited to 3 shakes in the bathroom.

  Ya shoulda at least bumped fists, dude!
  LOL

  I know... I know... it wasn't that I didn't want to.... he was focused on my shoulder, and by the time I had realized that he wanted to bump fists and not give me a buddy-jab, it was too late.. the hand was lowered.
