  What the Org Teaches #8 "Jehovah's Witnesses" is Our Scriptural Name!

  #8 "jehovah's witnesses" is our scriptural name!

  jehovah's witnesses are taught (and believe) by their hierarchy in brooklyn that the name of their religion is based on the bible itself.

  a little bit of research comprehensively reveals that the statement which was written in isaiah 43:10 about the jewish nation 700 years before christians appeared, has been corruptly and un-scripturally adopted as a "god-given" name.

  All good points!

  Coming at this from a slightly different angle, we have the argument from Tony Wills, author of "A People for His Name: A History of Jehovah's Witnesses and an Evaluation," that the only real "naming" authorized for God's People is found in Isaiah 62:3-5 (NIV):

  "You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married. As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you."

  So the name should NOT be "Jehova's Witnesses," but "Hephzibah".

  Really rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

  JW over-rode our Choice of Funeral music

  a few years on and the funeral of my jw momma still galls me.

  she left instructions for which kingdom songs to be sung and we gladly abided by her wishes.

  the funeral was held in a public crematorium, not a kingdom hall.

  I've been thinking of having my cremation at a local open- air pit barbecue place.

  What sauces would be appropriate? I wouldn't want to stumble anyone...

  came across this and found it rather interesting:.

  it's always good to be able to identify when we may be exhibiting some of these behaviors or, hopefully more likely, to spot the behaviors in others and help avoid the impact they can have.

  hi.i have a 13 year old daughter that i still have for a limited time as she comes to stay about one night a month at present.the law here in australia is on my side in that the australian governments stand is that the child needs regular access to both parents .

  i am currently arranging for mediation to have her more often .

  her mother can not stand that i am living with another woman and doesn't want her here .

  You want suggestions about how to FORCE an adult to keep company with you.

  I guess you're expecting that she will not choose to be with you of her OWN FREE WILL.

  Do a Google search for "kidnapping techniques."

  My son just got a serious job offer

  and it looks like he will be accepting it.he will be teaching english as a second language in shenzhen, china.

  it's with a company that works with the public school system out there.his salary includes an apt (most likely shared) that has utilities and internet included, and looking at cost of living (after the rent he isn't paying) it looks like he will be able to put money aside every month.not bad for a kid his age-travel to the other side of the globe, meet new people, get paid, and get experience.

  i am going to miss him..

  I must have misunderstood our earlier voluminous correspondence; I thought the contrast between seeking a job as a comedian but being offered a serious job instead was pretty hilarious. I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed, then I passed out, then I awoke and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed again. I'm quite tired now.

  Still, that comment was completely out of line, and I can understand your utter devastation at having it land in your lap as it did.

  My sympathies; he had been seeking a job as a comedian, wasn't he?
