i am finishing to read the entire bible (nwt 2013) for my first time (my fault) and i wrote down hundreds, maybe thousands, of questions not clear to me, but one especially came in my mind meditating on god's name.. if i wanted to summarize the entire bible in one phrase i would say (even before the kingdom): god’s name sanctification.. god is jealous about his name.
he does everything for the love of his name, and he wants to be called and prayed using his name.
no doubt about all this (repeated several times in the bible), but it involves the pronunciation of his name.. god left us his name in the form of יהוה which is unpronounceable.
I would just go with "Yoddy Wahee," but we haven't spoken since I discovered he was just a sock puppet that Fred Franz kept in his desk drawers at Bethel in Fred's "Sanctum Sanctorum,"
Fred only brought Yoddy out when he felt "Moved by the Spirit" (horny).
The Bethel Barber was called to Fred's room weekly to keep Fred's hand's properly groomed.
active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.
active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .
inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.
I'm a non-practicing Atheist.
Walked out of the Kingdom Hall almost 50 years ago. Not disfellowshipped.
Built the UADNA orbiting space platform more than 20 years ago.
my husband is going in on tuesday to have surgery to repair a badly torn rotator cuff on his right shoulder.
he is right handed.. he's 51 and is great about exercising and staying in shape.
however, while doing push ups, his shoulder just snapped.
How do you feel about Hemp CBDs?
Some people find them helpful, some don't. CBDs are not marijuana and have no hallucinatory effect.
The are legal everywhere in the USA.
i had my 1st rona vaccination last saturday.
i had the one i jokingly call the asteroid xenomorph.. the whole thing was well organised.
i felt fine until the next day.
Congratulations, Punk! I got my first a week ago.
Like you, my jab was painless. The next day or two the injection site was sore, but otherwise I felt like usually do.
Why do you have to wait til May to get prick #2? I get my second shot two weeks from now, making it a 3 week interval.
Best wishes, Punk!
do any jehovah`s witnesses or ex jehovah`s witnesses even know what that sin is ?.
why is such a statement in the bible if its not identified what that sin is ?.
were the authors of the book just playing with peoples heads ?
The UNFORGIVABLE SIN is asking what the unforgivable sin is.
Instant guilt-trip!
Fear
Uncertainty
Doubt
The three pillars of religion.
what do you think of him?
i know he’s a great golfer.
we know he just got into a major car accident (again).. i respect his golfing abilities but personally i’ve never cared for him and i think the press glorifies him sooo much.
Personally, I believe that he is neither a tiger nor wood.
i think back on the 30+ years of bs as well as my fading almost a decade and even now being low key in person to hopefully save my nieces from the wt.
i'm a wreck in some ways.
i'm other days i'm stable however when it comes to theism i depart quickly and with anger!
Hey HowTheBibleWasCreated, I don't know if you're still interested, but if you are, I'd be happy to kick your ass now.
But you have to give me $1 first.
why does the j-w forums have a demonic avatar as starting avatar?
why would a biblical religion even consider having demonic images included, in any of their content?.
Repent queried,
First of all, "tell us >what the fuck you are talking about<", does not your religion forbid you from using cursing?
Dear MORON,
This is NOT a JW site. My "religion" is atheism. I go to the atheist church 9 times a week. Kiss my ... .

Here's a suggestion: tell us WTF you're talking about, OK?
Maybe you could supply a link, or capture an image...
i feel bad i just faded away and did not "come out" as an apostate hater.
my mum died refusing blood and still i hang back my wife still has witness friends and goes to the memorial every year..
Don't feel bad. People usually do the things they want to do. You are not obligated to let yourself suffer torments.
Have a good life and don't feel guilty about it.
