I guess God's name is Yahweh, I hope to get it right some day,
at least I try...
Take care Brother's and Sister's
Love Yahweh...
not sure if i ever shared this...but have seen several "sharing" threads here lately and it motivated me..... when i met with the co and po about some doubts and an important question....and when i got the co's answer.....i could not speak....i put my head down and just started crying...not sobbing cause i fought it back...finally the only words to come out were..."i am going to have to leave my wife and son"....and they were like wtf?...but in jw lingo of course.
see i knew in that instant...that very moment....that i had been lied to my entire life...and my stack of doubts i had been piling on the shelf and waiting on jehovah were all valid....and i knew i would never fit in again...not even with my wife and son...that i would never be the spiritual head they needed and wanted.....that was almost 4 years ago...man time flies...and yep...now i am separated from my jw wife...and yep...i did not fit in...not even with her...and my son is older now and moved out but we are not close.
btw...i had printed out all 12 places in rev.

Hay oompa,
Sorry to here your situation, I feel for you Brother...
Very interesting subject you brought up about Jehovah been added to the NWT, I have a Jerusalem Bible and I have always assumed that where ever the NWT said Jehovah it said Yaway in the Jerusalem Bible, but I just done a little investigating and found out that the Jerusalem Bible only says Yaway in the Hebrew Scriptures.
Thanks for bringing that up, it helps comfirm my suspessions that God's name is actually Yaway and not Jehovah after all...
every year i like to bring up this letter for the "newbies" on this forum.. i found it very true, and right to the point.. thanks again, gaila noble.. hubert.
an open letter to jehovah's witnesses.
you may not remember, but i know you very well.
Thank you, for the reminder for I understand this letter very well because I was the only one that understood my mother and had to listen to her weeping for over forty years trying to comfort her. I feel very sad for her because she has never seen her grandchildren. I can not even talk about it, it is so sad. I am a full grown man and I will still cry about it if I try to talk about it.
is it wrong that i am now part of a ministry where we reach out to the young and old.
we go into prisons and juvenile detention centers to talk to the kids and adults to encourage them to read there bible and to show motivation.
the way how we do this is through our motorcycle and the stunts we perform.
I bet Jesus would have a bike were he around today. and a beard.

i'm one of the few jws that freely admit our faults and mistakes.. let's compare notes!.
Ask stupid questions JW and you get stupid answers...
does anyone know how to get the new world translation in to the itouch as an app?
i would love to have access to it in spanish and in english.
i have lots of people that i would like to show a scripture fast in my itouch.
iTouch I don't know much of. I tried searching youtube for (bible on iTouch) and it takes me to bibles on iPhones, you might want to check it out yourself.
I do have an iPhone and I can get NWT by putting this link http://www.watchtower.org/e/bible/index.htm into it. I suppose I could book mark it but sense I have typed the link in it comes up the first few letters I type in.
I don't know if you know how to zoom in and out by pinching the screen but I believe I figured that out by watching video on (photos on iPhone). You can find out how to do just about anything by searching youtube.com videos.
Have fun...
the other day, i noticed a very hot smoking muslim lady, we smiled at each other, i know where she works, but i have not ask her out yet.
maybe she is single?????
it would be my first time to ask a muslim lady out if i decided to do it.
I had a dealing with a muslim not long ago, glad you brought the subject up before I seen her again. I did some checking and decided NO I would not date a muslim. For her own safety... They call it mercy killing and this is the least graphic of some videos I found.
so what's the deal with this anyway?
did he not want man to know the difference between good and evil?
if he gave us free will wouldn't he want us to have all the knowledge we could so we could make a decision based on that knowledge?.
One day in the Garden of Eden , Eve calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedy snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"What's a 'man', Lord?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger and faster and more muscular than you. He'll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball about and chasing fleet-footed ruminants.
"Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.
"But, you can only have him on one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"You'll have to let him believe that I made him first."

i just made a comment there..
JWs did not come to my rescue when I was beaten. abused physically and mentally when I was a defensless baby and only put my mother out when she was trying to protect me.
As far as I am concerned the JWs are on their own. I have not a good word to say for them in their defense...

It is hard for me to grasp too, but I believe that there never was a tree of good and bad, at least on a material plain. It was a symbol of something that exsisted on a spiritual level and still exsists as it states in the bible that it is being gaurded by flaming swords.
Food for thought
