Unlike the WT, Im not trying to get everyone to agree with me. I'm just stating what I have researched and found so far. It all started a few months ago while I was watching CNN. If you dont agree with me, you have that right. I'm not saying Im right, Im just sating what I have found.

Yahovah was coined before Luther, correct. Jehovah was coined by Luther. It gets real complicated. The 'J' didn't become common until the 16th Century

As mentioned earlier, a few threads above, Hovah does indeed mean Mischief and Ruin. Do you think the God of Israel would want to be called that? Also, as some may know, most dont, the word Jehovah was 1st coined in 1532 by Martin Luther......a tyrant who did killings of Jews in the name of the Lord. Also, and egt this, only SOME English-Speaking protestants..outside of the JWs, use this term. Many scholars feel that the word Jehovah is not a accurate representation of the lord, which I leaning towards agreeing with.
Does anyone have anything else to say about this that hasn't been said? -

NWT: who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.
KJV: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Someone is guilty of violating the warnings given in Rev. 22:18-19
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book."
I'll let ya make the decisions on this one. -

Do you have to get baptized to be saved?
by JH in1 peter 3:21.
21that which corresponds to this is also now saving you, namely, baptism, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request made to god for a good conscience,) through the resurrection of jesus christ.. the witnesses say that you have to get baptized to be saved, but what will happen to jw children that aren't baptized or jw teens that didn't get baptized yet?.

There is a denomination known as the Church of Christ. They have somewhat similar beliefs like the JWs (everyone is wrong but them,Baptismal by water saves you, I cant go to your church because it isn't a Church of Christ church, etc.) They do not believe that Salvation is of Works, only 144K will make it in heaven, or any of the major doctrines that JWS believe . One of the major issues i have with this denomination is that most of them do not listen to any minister that isn't a CoC member. My cousin constantly blast my Pastor every time I'm around him. You know how nausianting that can be when you done heard it for 10-15 years.

RAF, What you are discussing is the 2nd baptism, as most call it....Baptism in the Holy Spirit. I say, personally, less then 10% of all confessing Christians have actually been Baptized in the Holy Spirit for various reasons. JWS don't do it because must of them claim that they are not anointed for such. I can say that the Church of Christ don't even believ that he is still on Earth...um yea, OK. Naturally, you cant have what you don't believe in.

It's a commandment (yes, it will get tricky now) but it dosen't save you. Baptismal is the outward confession that you made Jesus as Lord. IMO, if you were baptized as a Witness, you need not to get Baptized again, unless you feel that you must do it again.
