Using gods name
by Gorbatchov ini've never thought about it before, but isn't it some sort of blasphemy and extremism to use a god's name in the official name of your religion?.

but they're looking for a better country instead, a heavenly country. That is why God isn't disappointed with them, and is happy to be called their God, for he has built a city for them.
Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.According to the Bible every individual or group of people that do God's will can be called by his Name.

Parker,
I would say that is very unlikely for a Bible Student to read Rutherford.
As for everything else, I hope everyone will figure out what is worth believing or not.

Yes I am in a a self-imposed prison.I accepted God's "tyranny" as a Superior Being and I am not going to challange that.

This pouring out of God's spirit upon the flesh of all his faithful anointed witnesses does not mean those now serving as Jehovah's witnesses are inspired. It does not mean that the writings in this magazine The Watchtower are inspired and infallible and without mistakes. It does not mean that the president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society is inspired and infallible, although enemies falsely charge us with believing so. - 1947

As Jehovah'sWitness I had all the freedom as anybody else and more. I interacted with all sort of people from different backgrounds, enjoyed life. I haven't been been under the influence of organised religion or any other stupid superstitions. It did not affect my education ( It's only the religious organisation which calls itself JW which puts all kind of unnecessary constraints on people). I only stayed away from any kind of idolatry.
Yes, you are free people! So don't use your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but live as God's servants.
Respect everyone. Show your love to the community of believers. Have reverence for GodI cannot make anyone believe that the Bible is true unless they agree . It s the only book where I can get all the anwers regarding our short existence. Most other books and philosophers only rise more questions regarding the matter. Making certain achievements,developing moral character or learning from relationships with other people are some answers but they are worthless for me if I don't connect with God. I see God as liberator not a vengeful, threatening and slavish God. What humans have achieved since they assumed leadership. We tend happilly to obey humans, accept their weaknesses and injustice but when it comes to God we become very critical.

Mind Games and building alternate realities. Our brain is very susceptible to that. It s more like a maze. We need to figure a way out. Most people just follow others lead just because is more simpler. Some other choose their own way. Yes, free will its our greatest gift. Every person in this world, no matter what his role in life, is a searcher for truth.

We all have the freedom to make sense of the information and facts around us. Nobody should force any ideology on others, although we are exposed to many througout our lifetime. Discussions are helpful if they are constructive but each individual should to make own decission.

Our brain is designed like a computer. All its parts has a role to play. See "The Chimp Paradox. The Mind Management Programme for Confidence, Success and Happiness.Dr Steve Peters (2012)"
