Even the Witnesses admit that "Jehovah" is not the correct pronunciation of the Divine Name.
And Jesus' real name is Yeshua. I'm not sure why it was changed.

Do you still use Jehovah's name in prayer assuming you still pray?
by JH in.
if you do pray, will you use the name that's above all other names....says the watchtower.. if not, what name do you use?.

Don't you know you're not supposed to be dressed better than the bride?
That sucks the way your relationship went down hill. The same thing happened with me and my cousin. We were like best friends and spent every weekend together getting into as much trouble as possible. It was a blast.
We recently tried hanging out again, but it just wasn't the same. People often drift apart for no apparent reason. When people fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, the slightest change has the potential of breaking the bond.

Terry,
I totally understand where you're coming from and think the woman was offensive.
You made it abundantly clear where you stand, yet she chose to slap you in the face with, "I'll pray for you." It was a rude act of defiance whether she realizes it or not. I've seen this type of behavior time and time again because many 'Christians':
a) have been brainwashed to collect as many converts as possible
b) believe 100% that they're right and everyone else is wrong
c) have NO RESPECT whatsoever for anyone else's belief system but their own
I can't help but think that the Bible promotes such ideology.

Christians do creep me out, though.
Christians in general don't creep me out. It's the ones who are so fanatical about it that they start speaking in Old English or simply lose touch with reality who give me the creeps.
As for many of the 'milder' and more tolerant Christians, I simply don't understand their way of thinking. They call themselves Christians, but are very vague about what it means to be a Christian (or at least very simplistic about their approach). They often say that they follow Christ, not a book. Well what else do we know about Christ other than what's written in the book? Why even choose to believe in him if they consider other aspects of the Bible to be shaky or something not to be strictly followed?
To each his own for sure, but I can't make sense of it. I compare some people's approach to Christianity to someone who reads the dictionary and picks out words that they consider to be fictitious. I wouldn't read a book at all if I didn't consider it at least 90% reliable.

i dont care what people think of me. thats why i carried a pink frisbee. i do stupid crap. i say or sometimes act gay. i act dumb.
If you didn't care what people thought of you then you woulnd't have to act at all.
It sounds like you're putting on one hell of a show for some reason, unless you're just doing these things in private.

Can you tell a fake smile from a real one?
by PaulJ intry this very interesting test!
smile .

I guessed all of the fake smiles except for one...I won't give away which number...but it's towards the beginning.
I went back and looked at it again and this person seems to fit the geniuine criteria. A few of the geniuine smiles were also iffy.
