  New WT...Revised...The Name Jehovah

  by Legacy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is jehovah a hebrew name?

  why i ask, because last night after the agm meeting i was thinking...would god name himself a jewish name, since he in not partial...would he name himself a name that folks could get all puffed up about & say see...god is a jew.

  also, jesus, well, he came from the line of jews, not really.

  QUESTION FOR LURKERS:

  When you pronounce the name JEHOVAH, are you doing so because it is the most CORRECT form of pronouncing his name or are you merely following "traditions of men" because that is the POPULAR thing to do?

  Before you answer, read these 3 quotes from the Watchtower magazine:

  "MANY religious people treasure their own beliefs and traditions. But what happens if these teachings are not in harmony with what is found in God’s Word, the Bible? Jesus showed the danger of following man-made traditions when he said to the religious leaders of his day: “You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition.” - WT Feb 1, 2009 p. 9

  “[…] the translating Committee says: “While inclining to view the pronunciation “Yah-weh” as the more correct way, we have retained the form ‘Jehovah’ because of people’s familiarity with it since the 14 th century.” -WT Dc 1, 1950 p.474

  “Some scholars prefer to pronounce the name Jah’veh or Jah’weh, but today Jehovah is the most popular way of pronouncing the name.” - WT April 15, 1957 p. 230

  RNWT: Page 1767: About 1914

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in appendix b1, there is a timeline for the message of the bible.

  on the second page of that appendix, there is a small section entitled "about 1914", what is this?

  don't you find it odd that they use the word "about"?

  This is worse than saying "on or around 1914". Adding this "ambiguity" to they're keystone date is probably their first step (of many to come) towards eventually eliminating what they already know is an indefensible doctrine.

  according to the live blog: god's will to be completed by the end of the millennium.

  very casually said by louche (;-)).

  i think this is one of those things that is supposed to rile up the r&f.

  Crazyguy... there was new light about JWs who are just plain lazy and just won't get up to speed on their own... you know, the kind of JW that always asks: "hey, what's the latest?" without much effort put into looking things up themselves...

  I was also raised to hate gay people... but after my awakening a few years ago, my wife and I have become close friends with a gay couple... in fact, they've turned out to be our best friends!

  My advice... be yourself and don't worry about what others think of you. The world is changing quickly and soon you'll be free to openly roam the earth.

  The real reason for the push to get children baptized.......

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think the real reason is that many when they are in their teens and able to start thinking for themselves end up leaving by the time they get out of home, never baptized, and still continuing assocation with their family.

  the wt doesn't like this loophole, so they are hoping to get them baptised before their teen years so that if they wake up and decide to leave, they will be dfed.

  hoping to keep them trapped and be trapped before they understand the religion.

  There's a young brother in my ex-congo who got baptized at 12 because he wanted to have an impressive resume by the time he was old enough to apply for Bethel Service at the Puerto Rico Branch... Unfortunately, his bubble busrt when they announced the sale of the Puerto Rico Branch early this year and now he's scratching his head wondering what to do now... so sad...

  BUM WITNESSES

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can anyone save me the stress of listening to the self-appointed faithful & discreet slave for 3 hours, and give a clue as to roughly at what point in the proceedings was the derogatory term 'bum witnesses used, and by whom?

  i'd really love to extract that comment and send it to a weakening witness, to highlight the judgmental arrogance and name-calling being displayed.. many thanks in advance folks!.

  New U2 album - song called 'Yahweh'!!!!

  by City Fan in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  having been a huge u2 fan ever since around 1982 i still eagerly await their new stuff.

  i remember being told to throw out the 'war' album by my jw parents because it was about war.

  it took about a week to explain to them that it was actually an anti-war album!

  I guess that explains why he's now one of Yahweh's Witnesses...

  however, i have been reading this board for some time (call it stalking or trolling...lol).
