  Jehovahs Witnesses and the Name , HOW Important. ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah`s witnesses place great emphasis on the importance of god`s name as jehovah .so much so that they are often accused by christendom`s religions as substituting jehovah for christ.. the old testament ( hebrew scriptures identify god as the tetragrammaton four hebrew consanants yhwh and not jhvh.

  as mistakenly believed by a 13th century spanish monk .. modern scholars including the j.w.`s agree that the more accurate pronunciation of gods name would be more nearer to yahweh than the name jehovah .. so why do j.w.`s insist on the name ?

  jehovah ?

  Sorry i dont wanna hurt any feelings, but the plates there dont fit to this building, in my taste.

  No feelings hurt

  (I think that they are preaching the establishment of God's Kingdom in 1914 which fits with Revelation 12 and birth of a nation and Isaiah 43 i think is mentioned somewhere with regard Gods people coming out of Egypt and being witnesses of what Jehovah done. so my thought was if it was tied to the preaching of the God news it was important. maybe not)

  whats worse than being an adult jw?

  when i was a kid i always had a bad concience all the time.

  i believed i would not survive armageddon for the fact that i didn't like going to service and i didnt like going to the meetings.

  It was a mixture of good and bad. Hated the meetings and assemblies. Didn't mind witnessing at school. Hated giving talks. Wanted to be baptised. Done pioneer days occasionally with parents, so so. Went out on my own on return visits occasionally when I was 10 and older. I remember being at the barbers just before Christmas when I was about 7/8 and knew he was going to ask me about Christmas and I felt I had to give some sort of witness. No parents just me and my brother. I did. Dreaded getting up in the chair . Barber shop was full.

  punkofnice I have lived and worked in the USA for some years some years ago. I wouldn't want to return to those states, too many memories I'd rather go to the Pacific Northwest or some places on the east coast.

  Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

  how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

  how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

  I think suggesting that i woke up is suggesting i was asleep. which suggests its my fault. it isn't.

  Who would you like to hear of leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses ?

  by wozza in

  i'll start off with this one:.

  some years ago when i was formulating my exit, i employed for some time an ms brother from another congregation.. i'd had a couple of young "worldly" lads work for me but they proved unreliable as they used drugs or alchohol and consequently would'nt arrive at work and such like.. so when i was was contacted by this brother and spoke to him and heard he'd worked at the australian bethel for some time on construction and wanted an opportunity to learn the trade of bricklaying ,i thought ,"great someone to finally trust and be reliable".

  he was in his 40's at the time and he worked like a trojan ,was honest ,really likeable and interesting ,could play the classical guitar beautifully ,had a beautiful family.
