isaiah uses many names and titles for jesus , everlasting father mighty god etc , the name immanuel means 'god with us' further confirmation of the deity of jesus that the witnesses dismiss just as did the first century jews , despite numerous statements by jesus from the old testament confirming his identity and status . john 8-58 / luke 4-19-21

Isaiah 7:14 is a prophecy about the messiah whose name is Immanuel, so why the name Jesus ?
by smiddy inmaybe i`m getting old and senile , but i was thinking about something that used to nag at the back of my brain when i was "in" , wasn`t the messiah to be called immanuel ?
according to isa.7:14 and not jesus ?.
why was the name immanuel substituted with the name jesus .?.

Why Are You Here?
by Believer ini'm wondering why believers remain members of this forum which is clearly hostile to believers.
as one member said, nonbelievers pounce on any semblance of belief like piranhas on prey.
as former jws we should have had our fill of judgmental know-it-alls, but here we are.

As a believer and ex dub my main reason for coming here is only to read the experiences of those on their way out of the org . Many exdubs are done with god after leaving the org and why shouldnt they be ? The org never gave them the right tools in the first place .
ps . and also OUTLAWS jokes which make me gaffaw daily .
