  The name "Jehovah" doesn't appear to be promoted very much (if at all!) as JW's are led to believe.

  Isaiah 62:2 - "... be called by a new name, [Christians] which the very mouth of Jehovah will designate."

  Acts 11:26 - "the disciples were by divine providence called Christians."

  Matthew 10:18 - ".....for my sake, for a witness to them and the nations.

  Mark 13:9 - "......before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness to them."

  Luke 24: 47,48 - "....and on the basis of his [Jesus'] name....You are to be witnesses....."

  John 1:15 - "John bore witness about him..." [JESUS]

  John 5:37 - "the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me."

  John 8:18 - "the Father who sent me bears witness about me."

  John 15:26,27 - "the spirit will bear witness about me; and YOU in turn, are to bear witness."

  Acts 1:8 - "You will be witnesses of me...."

  Acts 4:17,18 - ...upon the basis of this (Jesus') name .... upon the basis of the name of Jesus.

  Acts 10:39 - "And we are witnesses of all the things he [Jesus] did..."

  Acts 10:43 - "To him [Jesus] all the prophets bear witness....."

  Acts 13:31 - "who are now his (Jesus') witnesses to the people.

  Acts 22:15 - "because you are to be a witness for him [Jesus] to all men......"

  Acts 22:20 - "......the blood of Stephen your [Jesus'] witness was being spilled..."

  Acts 23:11 - "..... a thorough witness on the things about me in Jerusalem..."

  Acts 26:16 -"I [Jesus]..choose you as an attendant and a witness..respecting me"

  Romans 8:16 - "The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit..."

  1 Corinthians 1:6 - "even as the witness about the Christ..........."

  1 Timothy. 2:6 - "......what is to be witnessed to at its own particular times."

  2 Timothy 1:8 - "............of the witness about our Lord.. [Christ]"

  1 John 5:9 - "the witness God gives...the fact that he has borne witness concerning his Son."

  Revelation 1:9 - "....for speaking about God and bearing witness to Jesus."

  Revelation 12:17 - ".......and have the work of bearing witness to Jesus."

  Revelation 17:6 - "........and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus."

  Revelation 19:10 -".....the work of witnessing to Jesus.... bearing witness to Jesus."

  Revelation 20:4 - "............ for the witness they bore to Jesus."

  1 Corinthians 1:2 - "....with all who....are calling upon the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ...."

  1 Peter 4:14,16 - "If YOU are being reproached for the name of Christ, YOU are happy.... But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not feel shame......but let him keep on glorifying God in this [Jesus'] name."

  John 3:18 - "....he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God"

  Acts 2:38 - "......be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ...."

  Acts 3:6 - "In the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·rene´, walk!"

  Acts 4:10 - ".......in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·rene......"

  Acts 8:16 - ".......been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus."

  Acts 9:27 - ".....and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus."

  Acts 10:48 - "With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ."

  Acts 16:18 - "“I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.”
  

  Acts 19:5 - "On hearing this, they got baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus."

  For whose name were Christians to witness? (see 29 scriptures above)

  For whose name would Christians be hated? (Matt. 10:22)

  By whose name were people healed? (Acts 3:6; Acts 4:10)

  By whose name were demons expelled? (Luke 10:17; Acts 16:18)

  By whose name would people receive Holy Spirit? (John 14:26)

  In whose name would people pray to God? (John 15:16)

  By whose name would people be named? (Isa. 62:2; Acts 11:26)

  By whose name would people be reconciled to God? (Rom. 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:18)

  By whose name would people be forgiven their sins? (Matt. 26:28; Acts 2:38; Eph. 1:7)

  In whose name would people be judged? (John 5:27)

  By whose name would people be resurrected (John 5:28)

  In whose name would people be baptized? (Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5, 22:16)

  In whose name were people to put faith? (John 2:23)

  In whose name was Saul/Paul commissioned to preach? (Acts 9:14-16)

  For whose name would Christians be reproached? (1 Peter 4:14)

  In whose name were Christians to gather together? (Matt. 18:20)

  For whose name would Christians make sacrifices? (Matt. 19:29)

  For whose name would Christians be persecuted and killed? (Luke 21:12,16,17)

  In whose name will every knee in heaven and on earth bend? (Philippians 2:10)

  In whose name would people be declared righteous? (1 Cor. 6:11)

  By means of whose name would Christians offer a sacrifice of praise? (Hebrews 13:15)

  According to the Bible, Christ's name was to be the focus for Christians, not “Jehovah.”
  

  It is curious as well as noteworthy, that the the name 'Jehovah's Witnesses' was changed by the WTBTS when setting up a subsidiary organization in Europe in 2001. The new designation was "The European Association of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses".

  The EAJCW is registered as an NGO with the OSCE - a European political/military organization which is subject to the U.N. - in order to attend and participate/lobby in its seminars. http://www.osce.org/home/71616

  @ SBF - I prefer to reason on different Bibles, rather than the NWT.

  Ignoring the 28 scriptures about witnessing for Jesus is disingenuous. Two of them even say that the holy spirit and God bore witness for him.The NIV expresses your quoted scriptures far better:

  Acts 15:14 - Simon has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his [Jesus'] name from the Gentiles. (Acts 11:26 - The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch) NIV

  Acts 15:17 - that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, [Jesus] even all the Gentiles who bear my name, [Christians] says the Lord, [Jesus] NIV

  Matthew 1:21 - She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he [Jesus] will save his people [Christians] from their sins.”

  A few years ago, a zealous JW went ballistic when I told him that not one scripture tells Christians to witness for Jehovah, while more than two dozen prove they are to be witnesses of Christ. The truth hurts.

  No part of the world

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt calls itself christian while at the same time insisting that its witnesses don't mix with other christian groups but remain separate.. to be no part of the world.. i was mulling this over recently in my personal bible reading.

  in the first century that demarcation would have made sense because apart from your fellow worshippers the rest of mankind were going to be jewish, roman, polytheistic, pagan, or (i guess much like today) didn't really care.. christians had no worries about meeting up with other people who believed in jesus the same as they did even if there were minor differences depending on who had first taught the gospel message to them.

  but nowadays there's not just one christian group against the world, there's lots of "christians" out there.

  Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

  Also, the Gibbering Body has the utmost contempt for Christ Jesus by implicitly claiming a description only assigned in scriptures to him, namely, that they also will be like Melchizedek - king/priests.

  The NWT copied the wording of the KJV which says "kings" at Revelation 5:10, whereas other translations such as the NIV say "kingdom."

  But of course, it's common knowledge that the NWT perverted their own Kingdom Interlinear Translation twice in that one verse - kings instead of kingdom, and over the earth instead of upon it. (see Psalm 45:16)

  Why was BBC News reader Huw Edwards wearing a dark suit & black tie - hours earlier - when announcing that the Queen was "ill?"

  He was applying one of the Operation London Bridge protocols for when she died.

  Said it before - peer-reviewed studies and common sense says that face-masks CANNOT prevent infection or transmission of viruses. It was total propaganda - nothing else.

  Why do people working with viruses wear N.B.C. suits - if face-masks offer protection? Duh!

  @ SeaBreeze: the verse you cited - 2 Timothy 3:16 - appears to have various Bible translators giving very different interpretations of it. Take your pick of which 'expert' to trust.
