i agree drew sagan-the reason is that gods holy spirit isnt involved.just peoples encouragement and our own imagination.

Convention 2009 - My best friend gets "love bombed" back in the "truth" and his sad SMS!!!!
by Witness 007 ini was so happy when my best friend {a witness} since childhood tells me he has doubts about the org.
and how brothers are "two faced" and the "false prophecies", and how he "needs a woman soon or he'll visit a brothel".... he had not gone to meetings for months and his mum blamed me although he didn't need much convincing.
well we went to the convention to please family and he enjoyed the lavish attention he got from so many "loving" brothers.

your friend is on an emotional rollercoaster.no wonder there is a higher rate of mental illness in this religion even though experts say that people who are religious tend to be more happy and sane.i never participated in the love bombing especially after a reinstatement announcement.

If you pray, do you say 'Jehovah'...?
by wantstoleave injust wondering of those that pray and who have left the organisation, do you still address god as jehovah?.
i think i'm currently in that awkward stage where i'm neither in or out, yet don't feel i should even address, or have the right, to talk to god (jehovah) until i decide where i sit.
so i'm wondering if it's hypocritical to pray and use his name.

i agree that yahweh is also a good name to use.jehovah is a modern day transliteration of yahweh.i know many of us are disgusted with the wts but we need to remember that they did not invent the name jehovah,jehovahs name is used and professed among many christian groups.the wts preumptously and illegaly attached gods name to their group.

sacoltan-i view jesus as my eternal father in the sense that he has secured my oppournity for eternal life by means of his sacrifical death.as far as using jehovahs name in prayer-it helps the person develope a bond with the persons heavenly father.the wts does not have copyright for the divine name.

thanks no apologies-unfortunetly the wts would rather it be kept secret because they are always self promoting themselves and this would be bad pr for them.this proves that they are not led by gods spirit.

no apologies-do you think someone with this type of offense while a jw should be allowed to return?how about if the person was marked permantly to protect the congregation?

god is a friend-its incredible that there has been suffering like this in the organization.i can understand your bitterness.i was a jw for 16 years and wasnt aware of this kind of crime until i was out.so what your saying is that this type of person will have to repeat his behavior-there is nothing he or gods holy spirit can do to avert this behavior.

who knows how i would feel -whoever you are.we dont need to be so self righteous and paint me as being as bad as this person.this is basically a non-story.jws for the most part are docile people even thogh i believe now that they are wrong on major doctrine.

the wts is now pictured as a community that shields criminals.his crime is not registerating when he moved.the state is to blame for allowing a dangerous person like this to be on the streets.we all probably became excited when we heard this story.but if a person repents from a wicked past-no matter what he did he is forgiven by god.satan will say that certain people should never be accepted.im sure every religion has those with dark pasts who are accepted members.
