even when i was a devout witless, i always winced a bit when i heard or especially had to utter "jehovah".

it's just one of those uncomfortable words to say like "colostomy", "vagina", or "erectile dysfunction"..

this morning as i was out doing my morning run, i noticed 3 vans drive by and park on a small connecting street near my home.

out of the three vans came 14 jw's out for their morning field service.

all but two of the 14 were women and one of the guys was probably around 14 or 15. the other guy looked to be in his 40's.

Has Gambling Become A Conscience Issue Among JWs?
by FreeAtLast1914 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the reason i ask is that i have a coupe of cousins who are still jws who have gone gambling in casinos with us.

i have a brother-in-law who openly brags about his "perfect" blackjack strategy he employs in vegas when he's in town.. i know that growing up as a jw, gambling of any kind was a dfing offense.. is my jw family simply more liberal than most, or has there been a subtle shift in this area since i've been out?.

The Tetragrammaton...And The Inserted Vowels
by titch in
1. jw
2. friends
for any and all persons who may have been associated with jehovah's witnesses in the past (or currently), you have probably read, or heard information about the origin of the name "jehovah.

" as explained by witnesses, and even other religious groups, the name jehovah is merely the anglicized (or, english-language) version of the so-called "divine name.

" the thinking is that in the original hebrew language, the "divine name" was originally represented by these four english consonants: jhvh; some persons think that it might have been yhvh.

i wanted to start a thread on forgiveness.

i personally forgive all the pain, heartache, deception knowingly or unknowingly inflicted on me by all those that i grew up with in the congregation i grew up in.

i also pray to yhwh to forgive me for the times that i deceived and hurt others and forsake his 10 eternal covenant words and the love commandments of our meoshiyaach.
