did jesus ever utter the name jehovah?.
and if he didn't what are the implications?
nwt answers don't count but feel free to use the kingdom interlinear.
Why are JW's compelled by the WTBTS to totally disregard Jesus' specific instructions regarding sins, and replace them with the org's commands?
Jesus taught that Christians only had to show contrition to someone who had witnessed the wrongdoing. (Matthew 18:15-17) He said nothing about confessing a sin to elders who had no knowledge of it.
An anti-scriptural & anti-Christ dogma. How many JW's would not be disfellowshipped if Matthew 18:15-17 was correctly applied?
i have a document containing a list of all congregations in the uk.
periodically i go through the links and check to see if they're still registered as charities and if the location of the congregation is the same.. instead of posting a large list of changes all at once, i will be adding each change that i find in a new reply to this thread.. please check back here periodically.. truthseeker.
SBF - there was a congregation in the Stevenston which was at the centre of the Panorama paedophile scandal. The resulting scandal caused changes in the congregation and elders.
AMENDED.

SBF - several years ago the original Kilbirnie KH was sold and a new one built in the town of Stevenston - but it was still called the Kilbirnie congregation.
At the beginning of 2018 their KH was closed - pending an alleged "refurbishment." The congregation was then assigned to share the nearby Irvine KH until the mythical refurbishment was carried out.
The Kilbirnie KH has been lying empty for the past 9 months with no signs of a refurb being started. And since Irvine KH has recently splashed out a bit of cash on a very professional sign which details the added congregation meeting times, it looks a certainty that Kilbirnie KH will soon appear on Rightmove.
LOL - just checked JW.BORG web site. Not only have they NOT updated the Irvine congregation's Sunday meeting time to 10.00 am, the same 'phone number for both congregations has either changed or is disconnected.
so my jw mom messages me on facebook last night and says she wants me, for a month, to read the bible, but first pray using the name jehovah and in jesus name and then read it with an open mind.
she is so ridiculous!
first of all, i do pray but i usually just say father and i always pray in jesus name and i find it ironic that she is saying i should have an open mind when hers is closed.
Hi Iriddle80 - your mom is simply following JW cult-training by trying to get inside your head again.
Time for some reverse-witnessing; you have a PM.

montana jury awards two women $35m in sex abuse lawsuit against jehovah's witnesses .
a jury in northwestern montana awarded two women $35 million wednesday in their lawsuit against the local jehovah’s witnesses congregation and its worldwide headquarters.. .
Looks like it will become a Candace Conti re-run.
that's what a very elderly jw sister said to me this afternoon, in response to all the sell-offs.
i didn't contradict her - she's far too close to the end, but if it had been a younger jw i'd have suggested this:.
"isn't it a pity that the society doesn't have a section on its web site where it could post photographs of all the new kingdom halls that are getting built every week/month?

If it did that, it would really encourage all the brothers & sisters who are having to give up their halls and share with other congregations."
C'mon evil faithful slave, it's a no-brainer; you didn't hesitate to brag & boast about your new Anglo-American Branches being "blessed by Jehovah." Let the world see how much Jehovah is "blessing" your alleged extensive KH construction!
not only does the organization confiscate the hall the congregation owns.
but then the former congregants are told to continue to pay for utilities and they are still responsible for upkeep and maintenance.
so they still have to cut the grass etc.
LOL - looks like Kilbirnie KH will be displaying a "For Sale" sign very soon.
Apparently Irvine KH (where the Kilbirnie JW's have been attending for the past 10 months) now has a permanent and reasonably expensive looking new sign erected. The sign shows the meeting times for both congregations - Sunday 10.00 am & Thursday 7.00 pm. and Sunday 2.00 pm & Wednesday 7.00 pm.
The Branch said several months ago that Kilbirnie KH was "scheduled for refurbishment." Lying shysters!
the financial times had an article with the above question.
the author asked various people to answer the question.. https://www.ft.com/content/169705e4-b4dd-11e8-b3ef-799c8613f4a1.
while i was not interviewed, if i was asked this question i would say that i wish i had known in 1975, when i was 18, that i was raised in a cult and that the continued focus on armageddon over my lifetime was a cruel joke.
Wish I'd known Cindy Crawford! :)
