34Street work
by pratt1 in.
maybe this only happens in urban neighborhoods but when i was growing up, many dubs engaged in street work, basically offering the magazines to people on the street as they walked to a destination.. usually it was an area with a lot of foot traffic at a time when many people would travel the area.. did you or people in your congo engage in this and were there any funny stories relating to this practice?

he wrote the best known ex-jw book.
the title is even known among faithful dubs.. it's hard to imagine that he's not interested in the topic.

is jehovah really god's name?
if he wanted his name to be known, he's all-powerful, omnipotent... i know that he has the power to make sure that his name is used correctly.

Bluesbrother, all I can say is that I have my reasons for doing this on Sat. No one has to agree with me and no one has to like it, this is a decision that did not come easy for me. The only reason I can do streetwork is because I only get out of the car once maybe twice and that is the only thing that makes it easier for me to go out there. I haven't been door to door in over a year and I have not done streetwork in ; six months? I never turn in time.Sometimes you have to do things you don't like in order to avoid situations that you are not ready to deal with yet.
Thats all I can say.
I dont agree. Jesus said he would rather have you HOT or COLD rather than LUKE WARM. He said he would spit out LUKE WARM.

He may be afraid that if he does, he would realize what he has done and pull a Judas on himself.

Sass:
But I kind of owe it to my family, just to make this little effort.
Sass , it is JEHOVAH God and Jesus that is owed a little effort. That is alot of peoples problem, they are not in it for Jehovah.

Still on the fence!
by acuragirl inhey everyone i know its been a while since i posted but today i felt the need.just wanted to update you all on my position which is still brainwashed!i just dont know what to do i gain my strength to conquer this disease,(thats what i call being born in the org) from others like freedom lover who have come out of this religon free and clear i know its not easy but i know it can be done.i dont know why i just cant get over it and move on already,but theres thats piece of me that says,but what if?then im back, screwed and tatooed with jdub on my forehead,thinking that jehovah is upset and dissapointed with me and satan has me in his grasp.im stil sooo confused even with all the evidence pointing to they are full of crap!what if they arent?i just want to know the truth even if i dont choose to follow it,i want to know if jehovah is watching me torment myself every day,going back and forth and i cant take it anymore.then i think what if there is no jehovah?who the hell am i praying to with my daughter at night?
(the air mabe)you see my daughter still believes even though she is ready to celebrate halloween this year and yes we bought her a costume,cinderella!my mother comes and takes her every now and then only if i promise to go to some meetings and i did last weekend i attended the sunday meeting for once in a about 6 months!felt strange to be there but once again going to a different cong i got love bombed.btw i feel guilty and scared about having anything to do with halloween this year.yup still dealing with the guilt,fear,agony,of knowing and believing in the dubs,for so long now trying desperately to get out without feeling the way i do.i just dont know what to do anymore and its a shame because the dubs have sucked the life out of me(guess i didnt check my doubts soon enough).if i dont get off the fence soon im going to go nuts.i like believeing that satan doesnt even exist and that there is no heavenly org.gives me peace of mind that i can just live my life,if theres a god,fine,is it jehovah?thats where the conflict arises and i cant just go on with my life thinking jehovah has lost me to the other side!
!im not a lost cause yet guys.i need new light!

OK, I checked, and the original greek is Theos, not YHWH.
Your looking up the WRONG word sweetie. You looked up God. Look up the word before that. Jesus said according to the translation/Version you use " It is the LORD thy God..........Look up the word LORD.

Is there a single instance of Jesus ;uttering the word ;"Jehovah" out loud?
Why i am glad you asked. Yes there is. When he was being tempted by the devil, just for starters.
Besides, common sense would tell us if Jesus SAID he made his name KNOWN and told us to pray for the sanctification of it, For us to do that would we not HAVE to KNOW His name? Come on think man!

Jesus upheld Gods NAME. It was VERY important to him. He was representing that name. John the 17th ch, Jesus prayed to his heavenly Father about his name. He said he made His NAME know and will continue to do so. Jesus even taught His followers to PRAY for the Sanctification of Gods name. Jehovah.
