  If you pray, do you say 'Jehovah'...?

  just 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 have been active on this board a week now and i think for the most part, my head is alot clearer now.

  previously when i'd considered leaving the organisation, i had no other knowledge to back up my feelings.

  i simply just wanted to leave and thought that come armageddon, i would die.

  hope some light can be shed for me here :).

  to cut a long story short, ex left me well over a year ago and filed divorce proceedings on me from another country.

  was thrown out of court as the jurisdiction wasn't correct.

  'Sign of the times'

  by wantstoleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as someone who is still wading my way through fading/leaving.....im looking for thoughts on 'signs of the times'.

  example, 'earthquakes in one place after another'......things like that.

  world powers etc......peace and security....basically anything that has been taken from the bible to signify living in the last days.. i have to admit, when i hear about all the earthquakes around the place, especially in recent years being so many, i get a shiver of fear.
