  Matt.10:18-20 "you will be hailed before governors and kings for my sake for a witness to them and the nations etc,etc.

  Gerrit Losch obviously has no faith in those scriptures or his ability to give an effective witness.,and he`s a G.B .member

  No Jehovahs Witness is an employee of the WT Society , they are volunteers who are acting on their own accord and not representatives in any official capacity of the WTB&TS.

  Actually , wasnt`t it the Spanish Catholic Monk of the 13th Century ? that not only saved the "name" of GOD ,he invented the name Jehovah ?

  Raymundus martinus , the Spanish Monk who put vowels in between the four consonants of the Hebrew letters of the Tetragrammaton ,JHVH ,which really should have been YHWH ,so instead of Jehovah his name would more correctly be Yahweh as acknowoedged by the first edition of the book "Aid To Bible Understanding" published by the WTB&TS.

  Their reason for using and staying with the name Jehovah ,they gave , was it was the more popular name in usage .? By whom ? Christendom of course who else would be using the name of God if not Christians.?

  On the other hand they are trying to tell us that Christendom was trying to hide the name and not using it ?

  Christendoms Bibles use the name Jehovah / Yahweh ,.Churches throughout Christendom have the name Jehovah on them ,Hymns of christendom have the name Jehovah on them and they all have done so for Centuries

  Noah a Preacher of Righteousness?

  by Spoletta in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during the watchtower study today, i browsed genesis and looked for evidence of noah ever preaching to anyone.

  from what i could glean from the scriptures, it was a foregone conclusion that noah's family would be it on the ark.

  (unless they towed some rafts behind) my wife says that building the ark could be considered a witness of his faith to the wicked world, but that seems kind of lame to me.. so, should i just assume that god decided not to give anyone else a chance for redemption?

  Correct me if I am wrong but their is no scripture that suggests Noah or any of his family ever went to the homes of anyone preaching any message of hope for them if they followed his course

  The "witness" noah gave was not a preaching work he did only his building an Ark to save only his family and animals.
