It appears, at least for no in my research, that Jesus always called him father. Now, if Jesus called him Father, what make sit wrong fro us to call him Father?

I was watching a special on CNN Saturday about Muslims and them worshiping "Allah". I said to my self "They are worshiping a false god." The Holy Spirit then said to me, and I'm paraphrasing "What makes that different then you saying Jehovah?" Right there, I was stumped, and stunned. Trying to rationalize the reasoning, I came to the conclusion about 3 minutes later that there wasn't a difference, because "Jehovah" is a artificial name, made up in the English Lanuage, just like "Allah" is in Arabic.

So I decided to do some research, and I found soemthing interesting. In my Lexicon, I found this interesting tidbit, #1943Hovah, another form for 1942; RUIN:-MISCHIEF.

Now, I am NOT saying that worshiping the God of Israel is worshiping a false God. What I am saying is, we should be calling him by his Jewish Name, which is Yahweh.

Yesterday, the Spirit gave me another nugget on this. If your name was Ifkenneka in a particular African tounge. If you move to the US, or any other English speaking country, your name will always be the same, eventhough you are give some sort of nicknaem, thats not your official/given name. Your official/given name will always be Ifkenneka, no matter what lanuage you speak.

I need some feedback on this

Is the word Jehovah really a name?

by zack in

i ask this because jesus referred to god as: my lord, my father, my god.

he never used the word jehovah.

to me that if anyone would use the name, certainly jesus would.

I actually had the Spirit talk to me on this very subject a few weeks ago. I say Jehovah is not a name of God, and I tell you why. It's artificial, just like Allah. To say his name IS Jehovah, I can't buy that. If you say Elohim, Eloah, Adonai, Yeshaua*, then I think thats a lot more accurate.

If you were a JW or for you JW Lurkers who will never leave.....

if the rapture ever did happened, and you were left behind.

what do you think your reaction would be, and what do you think teh watchtower reaction be?

A-Team

Outlaw, I know. Im asking a hypothetical. Just because they don't believe dosen't mean it wont/cant happen. Im asking what if it does happen, what would the reaction be.

Also add this:

Many believe that all childeren will be raptured. Also, not all Christians will be raptured for one reason or another. Just because you are a Christian, dosen't mean you will definally be raptured.

"celebrate" christmas ?

by A Paduan in

in another thread the question was put forward "what does it mean to celebrate christmas" .

i posted essentially this but recevied no further input - so my question is am i right - does it really boil down to decorations ?.

as far as i can tell decorations, a tree, wrapping paper and presents on christmas morning are what really separates others and jws, because other aspects of the holiday don't really seem different:.

A-Team

In Dub terms, even if you don't open presents, deck the halls, or other tradtional Christmas doings, BUT Honor/Worship Jesus on this holiday......you are deemed Celebrating Christmas.

Worship The Only True God----PDF!

by Atlantis in

(credits go to proplog2 and metatron) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/31661/1.ashx .

as metatron posted 2 months ago the watchtower doesn't mention anything about blood in the new book "worship the only true god".. this is a very important book because it is recommended as a "deeper" study aid for those contemplating baptism.

the united in true worship book had 24 chapters.
