As "Jehovah" is the more recognizable form of the Hebrew God's name in English, I'm sure they will reintroduce the Trinity soon as that is the more recognizable form of worship among Christians.

36Gods name
by Mr.logic inwhat is the correct spelling of gods proper name"yahweh or jehovah"?
if the jw's maintain that yahweh is more proper, why do they misspell it "jehovah"?
if the name of god is so important, then you should not only pronounce it correctly, but spell it correctly too.

So I overheard a discussion that my son and wife were having about creation yesterday
by My Name is of No Consequence inso i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.
i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.
i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..

John, the WTS calls it "micro-evolution" to distinguish it from "macro-evolution". But of course they will not (and cannot!) explain where the boundary would be then between these two.
FYI: the origin of life is called abiogenesis. Like already said, indeed important to keep this separate from evolution.
Perhaps you can point your son to research the anatomy of whales. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIEoO5KdPvg

Seems logical that if there are more believing women, then the decline can also be steeper ;-)
I live in Europe, and my impression here is that there aren't so many more JW women than men? Yes, I do see more couples where the husband is not a JW, but the wife is... (and never the other way around), ... but 65%? Why would this be? Or am I wrong?

Hello Doltologist. I assume you believe in evolution? I think the following article will be interesting for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_origin_of_religions -

Hmm I would like to know more. Maybe I'm too quick to judge, but from the teaser text, it seems to me it's another sad story / life experience as there are so many on this forum and elsewhere? Not to question this book's contents, but what (additional) 'valuable insight' is in this book vs one of the experiences here and elsewhere? -

Doc, I think many elders will seem friendly one-on-one. But when they are together (on a JC e.g.) then a different personality is activated. It's also easy to disagree with other elders in private conversation, as it can be denied easily; "she understood me wrong" or whatever.
As the calling woman tells, this is actually a pattern I have also seen: when one is disfellowshipped, the whole family is effectively disfellowshipped from the congregation. Everyone avoids this family because they don't know how to invite a single member, or go to them etc and just ignore them completely. It's the easiest. Not really a sign of John 13:35 being applied though! Even though WT/JWs like to brag about that.
