No, Gods name is not Jehovah, but yhwh was one of his names, yes. So was ahih, alga, adni, Schemhamphoras
You forgot Pocahontas;-) Can you tell me the locations in the bible? I am curious where I can find them.
if there is a god...don't any of you find it odd that we don't even know his name!
i mean... if he was real why didn't he preserve his name for all of us to know?
i mean think of it, it is really stupid isn't!

i sometimes imagine that the wt is destroyed (mental masturbation yeah) and all the people left without hope, sanity and joy.
this will be terrible in itself, if the wt falls suddently i fear a mass suicide.i recall myself thinking that id would rather die that not be in "the truth".
it will be a terrible shock for everybody.
But we must remember that there are still small groups of certain religions which the average reasonable person would scratch there head at so I can easily imagine that after such an exodus over an extended period of time that those calling themselves JWs could easily number anywhere between 1 million to 3 million or more by the year 2200
In 2200, we will have got a complete new world system and the possibility on everlasting life and youth with or without any WTBS. You may absolutely trust in my words (record it;-).
a lot of people are worrying about these uprisings, riots and violence being done----it seems everywhere.
i've read how some feel that europe does not have the ability as a union to fight against this.
is this like it was in germany prior to ww!!
the GB knows very well who is the new king of the south, but they can not tell, because we are not ready
Because they are not ready (and not able..) to pay the payments for all the ligitations. If they would be really honest, they would say: Sorry, brothers, we cannot tell the truth about what is going on in our world now (though we know it plainly) cause if we were doing it, we would be persecuted and sued. And folks: NOT YOU (the rank & file -class) would be those one being persecuted and sued, no - those would be ours....

Why should they trust at all their new interpretations on the issue
They have got no new interpretations, and maybe, there will be no new interpretations, because they exhausted. No "new light". The incredible sarcasm is just the fact they have got no blind idea exactly at that point in time, when the rank & file-JWs in deep despair scream for new light... They fell into their own trap. They have used up all their ammunition, because they interpreted 99,999999% of the bible, instead of - say - 95%. (If they had done so, they now had free zone for "new light" regarding 5% of biblic prophecy). But now there is no new ammunition to firework a "new light".
It is a tragedy. I wanted to weep, if I could.

She then started to speculate that Islam could be the new King of the North
I do not believe so. Islam is a religion. The new "king of the north" is the US together with allied troops. If you read Daniel 11, 40-45, you would see what happens. It began with war against Iraq. It is matching exactly. Like a fingerprint.

They HATE anyone who does not believe as they do, and believe they are given a mandate by allah to kill us all
They have got an enormous hate against the western political sphere, because their technology is far superior compared to their own. This is the actual reason for their "holy war" against industrial countries. They got the feeling that Allah prefers the non-muslims, and they cannot understand this situation.
Its like JW`s waiting for armageddon and the new system (feeling they are living in a "spiritual paradise" meanwhile") - and nothing changes; the things are going on as usual, and the non-JW`s have more success than they have.
Same thing - in psychological manner - happens to the Muslimes. They cannot understand the whole world anymore. And thats the reason why many of them lost their minds.

I missed the pictures of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dresden. (in sum, about 400 000 dead civilists).
And the Vietnam- and Iraq-pictures.

I am sure, absolutely. USA and allied countries will use nuclear weapons to destroy Iran`s nuclear industry to prevent enriching of uranium. This will cause a "holy war" of all muslimes against the western countries (EU, GB, US ...). 1,3 billion muslimes all around the world will march against the enemy. They will fear neither death nor devil.Do You Fear That Islamic Fundamentalists Will Start WWIII
the celestial organization has moved and we are being left behind.
first the awake was going to a monthly issue.. buildings are being sold.. then came the 2005 service report and the stagnating figures around the globe.. then we all heard about the 2,500 bethelites sent packing off brooklyn and the 1,000s on the international branches.. when i first read the news i though they were sending out 2,500+ new apostates to the street.. i started to wonder how will they both address the simplifications and cost cutting and urge the rank and file to do more without pulling the big armageddon card out, since this has backfired on multiple occasions.
downsizing and activity were mutually exclusive imho.. well they are certainly clever.
The older ones too will be able to do telephone witnessing in Bethel and those who can will be going out in service one day a week. What a loving arrangement.
They should learn how to operate with internet. To be able to answer world-wide questions via e-mail.
Would be very important.
just a question: if you are still jws (for any reason, many just can`t leave because their entire families are wrapped around it, etc), but don`t believe in it, and lead a "double life", how do you cope with going door to door?
i just can`t imagine how it must feel like to go out there and try to tell people at the doors or in the streets things you know are just bs!
how do you deal with that?
..there are anti-jws that are just as hardlined, stiffnecked, and doctrinal as the most rabid bethelite lifer
Its simple. Depends on the RANK the JW held BEFORE he became an ex-JW.
