  Other Religions use the Name JEHOVAH too

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  2. bible

  are jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.

  jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.

  for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.

  Jehovah has always been the English translation of Yahweh. This has nothing to do with JW's. And before the 20th Century almost all Christian religions refer to God in English as Jehovah.

  QUOTE: "If the only subject he could talk about was the Watchtower then how did he manage to talk so much about Vietnam? Regardless, he sounds like a person prone to being obsessed."

  
  

  He spoke about Vietnam in his talks in relation to the Bible and the witnesses.
  

  And, yes, Tony has not changed in personality since the early 1970's. And for those that want to know he processed to be of the anointed way back then. It isn't something recent.

  A Question

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would appreciate knowing from someone in the know if the goofy carts and rain covers are given to the congregation by the org.

  or if the congregation has to pay the org for them.

  i am sure i read that somewhere here in my lurking days, but am not finding it at present.. if the congregation is billed for it i intend to use that as a reason for my continued refusal to donate anything from now on.. thanks in advance..

  There is no cost to the congregation.

  Oh my God. This is the Internet at its funniest. Tony Morris has no relation to the Phillips Morris family or business. I knew him many years ago. He has always been drop-dead poor and so was his whole extended family. To Tony there is only the Witnesses. If you knew him you would know that. He is one of those people who literally cannot talk about any other subject. I know born agains like this. I know JW's like this. He was in Vietnam. When he got out and became a Witness all those years ago he wouldn't shut up about it. It was in every one of his talks in the 70's.

  A few things to clear up. Tony was not a witness when he was in Vietnam.

  He never looked like the photo of that Joseph Parisi someone else posted in that other thread. In the early 1970's he was balding with black hair and looked much like he looked now only thinner.

  He isn't someone else pretending to be Tony Morris. He's always been this same guy.

  I can vouch for who he is going back to 1971.

  If you met him (going all the way back to the early 70's) you either love him or can't stand him. He's not someone who leaves anyone in between about how they are going to feel about him.

  Why isn't the Boston Globe doing a better job?

  why isn't the boston globe doing a better job covering this group?.

  after all, the movie spotlight won an oscar about this paper and their groundbreaking journalism into the catholic church covering child abuse.

  The Catholic Church has had over 15,000 priests molest over 1 million kids, some in my family, and they hid and reassigned all of them over and over and over for 50 years and did nothing in almost every case.

  That isn't exactly the same story as JW's.

  Serena

  by Darryl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching serena win yet another wimbledon title recently (congrats to her) but it got me to thinking about her for a moment.

  she identifies herself as a jw and if you look up any info on her it will tell you that her religion is jw so that means that she herself and the rest of the world identifies her as a jw.. for those of us who are df'd as well as those of you who are about to be df'd what is the reason?

  and what is the main difference between a df and a fade away?

  Hello? #1 All the things you are talking about are matters of conscience, i.e., playing sports, going to the Olympics, etc. Sometimes people get confused as to what is strongly suggested verses what is a hard and fast rule.

  #2, there are many people nowadays who identify themselves with JW's who are not baptized JW's like actor Terrence Howard. If people mistakenly think he's an active witness or the Williams sisters are nobody is keeping tabs and they don't have to "walk the walk."

  Singer Patti Smith was brought up a JW, her sister still is, and she has a lot of nice things to say about JW's in her old age, but she doesn't have to do anything because she may like the witnesses or associates with some of them. That whole idea is kind of silly.

  how to destroy the borg .

  take as many teaching books that you can and trash them.
