  Who Taught You The Truth(tm) OR Who Counted Time, On You?

  by LoisLane looking for Superman in

  my mom's lover would bring his handsome youngest son, to our house, and along with my dad, would study with my brother, sister and i. wed 7 pm.. next an elder's wife, who was a regular pioneer and worked part-time, who had a daughter my age, came to our house, after school wed. ruth was the head of the house and wore the pants.

  her husband was part of the 3 men who sat on all judicial committees in our congo and would tell ruth everything, which in turn ruth would tell the sister's.

  ruth was very pious but at the age of 15 gave birth to her only child, and beat on her daughter all the time, never letting her forget what "trouble" her only daughter caused her.

  Born in from a crazy family, parents never studied with me no one ever did, but when I was 12 my sister who was 19 years old at the time decided she wanted to get baptized. There is just my sister and I no other siblings. My parents told her the only way they would allow her to get baptized was if we all did it together. I did not a voice in any of it. I just did as I was told. Three elders at different times came over to do the questions with the four of us at the same time. None of the elders asked me anything. Finally the third elder said LITS has not answered one question and she must to get baptized, so he asked me what was God's name, I said Jehovah and thus I got dunked.

  I am so sorry, we lost our Henry in 05 and I can still start crying if I think to much about him. He was the best pet anyone could have had. I wish I could say the pain goes away when you get a new pet but it just dims instead because you do not think of them all the time but the moment you do the pain is still right there. Henry was always there when we were first married and my elder husband was gone doing his elder things, I felt so very, very alone but I could come home to Henry and he would always be there, in someways he was my only friend, he was just the best.

  Our new furry children are great but Henry let a huge hole in my heart that will never totally heal.

  I am so sorry for your loss.

  Does God really have a personal name?

  by XPeterX in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible says that the personal name of god is jehovah/yahweh/jah etc.thing is,we don't know it's correct pronounciation (or the pronounciation of any hebrew name).the name jehovah as we know it today means "he causes to become".someone who causes something to become is just called "creator" or "maker".right?he gave that name to his self so that people or the angels could call him by a name.also,how was he called before the creation of the anything?how can some people claim to be his friends if they don't know his actual name?discuss.

  I totally agree with you Watkins even Jesus at Matthew 6: 9 and 10 does not call God by his first name but says "Father" and "may your name be Hallowed or honored." If the name Jehovah was to be used would not Jesus have used it here of all the places in the Bible.

  This scripture is the one that really gets to me the most because it was on of the first door to door presentations I was taught to use in field service to convince people that we are to call God by his first name because Jesus says to honer God's name by using it. It made total sense to me as a born in JW teen who knew no better but now it just makes me shake my head at how I could not see how wrong it was. If the JW's were right then then Matthew 6: 9 and 10 should read 'You must pray, than this way. Jehovah in the heavens, let your name be sanctified let your kingdom come let your will take place in heaven also upon earth.' But Jesus did not use the word Jehovah because he had respect for his father and called him "Father" like we all should.

  Sadly that is how I tried to reason it out in my mind until a sexual psychopath pedophile moved into my hall and I had to face reality. And yes his court records calls him in incurable sexual psychopath but none of the elders would look at his public court records. It was then that I had to decide that the religion was crazy.

  And to think I took a vow of poverty to help built 90 sands, I am paying for it now with my heath by having another surgery on the 24th of this month to repair myself from all the heaving lifting I was demanded to do because Jehovah never asks more of us then he knows we can give. I guess Jehovah did not know that women should not lift 90 pound over their heads all day long, but I digress, but hey they get a third of a bullion dollars out of it so its all good. Just wish they would kick in for my doctor bills.

  That pedophiles have a right to go door to door, not only is it OK but that I as an elders wife had to drive them around in my car as demanded to me by the CO.
