anyway you look at it if you read exodus 6:3 it makes no sense to substitute YHVH for lord , there God wants moses to know his personal name and use it . The jews also used the name when naming their children such as elijah or jesus . The catholic church is one of the most blaspeming religions in the christian world .

I think there's allot more to the evolution theory than just man from monkey belief that makes it impossible for me to believe . We'll start with the big bang and go through how the universe slows down enough to reform but yet continues to expand and then all the countless collisions that happened to form planets from asteroids and then some how amino acids become biological life forms after falling in earths oceans ..... sorry not buying it.........

I'm thinking they took it out so as to deceive people about the trinity since the first commandment was about Jehovah not having any other Gods before him. That's how Leonardo devinci got ex communicated because he realized that .

What does the bible really teach ....
by heathen ingot a copy and been reading it , the first chapter about how god doesn't like human suffering nor causes any of it seems like a fallacy to me .there are plenty of accounts where he personally killed allot of people , noahs ark , moses and pharoah ,it's pretty obvious that god likes to play god and the new testament says he will cause allot more suffering against his enemies .
anybody else with an opinion?

I think ephesians is saying that we ought not to boast in ourselves not that there isn't work to be done as jesus did use parables showing that work was needed , don't have a problem with that .True he could put all suffering out of the way but he does have a personal agenda and a schedule aparently . For now people can be grateful that they have not been destroyed in Gods wrath .

August 1st Awake 2008 article on Katrina Victims and Help by JWs
by restrangled ini was not impressed.
on the 3rd anniversary of katrina, and now the same area possibly threatened by gustov i find the following quote in the article infuriating.
.....sorry if someone has posted about this before.. "the volunteers repaired more than 5,600 homes of fellow believers and 90 kingdom halls, the meeting places of jehovah's witnesses.

Yah really ,They make it sound like they did it for nothing when in fact they gave the money to the WTBTS , I mean why not just let the homeowner keep the money if you are doing it out of good will ? There clearly was something in it for them . They do some very seedy things , I'm looking at how they lend money to congregations to build with and then they own the property plus get the people to pay back the loan . I just don't think that's on the level at all .

Has anyone seen "Population 436" ?
by AK - Jeff inwow - the striking similarities to cults stood the hair on my neck.
the pictures in the 'prophecy book' looked amazingly watchtoweresque also, and lead the lead character to immediately investigate 'biblical numerology'.
i had seen it before - but there must be less and less fog in my mind nowadays - since i didn't see any of the same similarities i saw when i watched it last night.

I thought the same thing with the "what does the watchtower say the bible says", kind of approach .I do believe in a higher power and just because people have used the bible for evil does not mean the book itself is evil , people use anything they can get to do evil , if people followed jesus teachings we would be in paradise instead they mix it with politics or paganism thus corrupting it or using it to control and manipulate .In effect the devil causes way more suffering .God himself is judge, jury and executioner and only acts in accord with divine law and does explain why he does things in the bible.
