hello everyone, especially from witnet.

as long as i have been on the net, i hadn't used it for anything remotely related to jw until earlier this year.. i was looking into bb software for our company's site, and on the infopop site i saw a link for witnet!

since witnet closed, i have seen so much online, it's been a little overwhelming, lol.. i really enjoyed my time there, and i'll stop in here from time to time, if you can handle it.

Proclaiming Jah's name

in terms of cold, hard, non-partisan evidence, (and i realize that will eliminate some of yours' ability to respond) what are the arguments for how much or how little emphasis jesus, primarily, and secondarily the early christians, put on using and promulgating the divine name?.

jesus words "let your name be sanctified" come to mind immediatly, but what did that seem to mean to jesus, and how often did he seem to use the divine name?.

i am vaguely aware of the arguements that the nwt went overboard in "reinserting" the divine name.. edited by - sixofnine on 17 december 2000 15:18:58

Witnesses and Marines
by Grunt in
1. jw
2. friends
things about the jehovah's witnesses that remind me of the marine corps.

1. both demand conformity in hair cuts, dress and attitudes, failure to conform will bring disciplinary action and forestall.

2. both try and isolate you from the world, though only for three months at parris island, a lifetime with the witnesses.. .

from time to time some of us may have wondered about the amount of work that we will have to do restoring the post-armageddon world into a paradise.

think of all that construction and all that clearing up!

how long is it going to take?.
