Seeing the name "Jehovah" was a catholic invention of the 13th century and was popularised by Apostates because of its usage,"Aid Book",will new light reveal another name in the future ? Maybe Yahweh ?
by smiddy inthe witnesses say the apostacy took place after the last of the apostles died off , the name jehovah was invented by a catholic monk in the 13th century and because of its popularity among christendom (apostates ) it became acceptable.
and they have adopted it ?.
are the jehovahs witnesses following along with apostacy ?

I don't think so, my wife is currently at the convention, she said that after some of the things I have been telling her over the last few months she is hearing things more critically and plans to do research. I asked her to give me an example, she said that yesterday a talk said that the JWs are the only ones to use the name Jehovah in their translation and she suddenly thought that seemed odd. So they are still banging on about it as some good thing. I told her I know why but wasn't going to tell her, she must research it to find the answer herself.

As a householder then can you not say "I've heard you guys have predicted the end of the world on several occassions, the dates came and went, doesn't that make you false prophets?"

by Bubblegum Apotheosis inyears ago you read my horror stories about being raped by a jw.
i was nine years old when this took place, now the man has been getting all his works in order.

Thank you for the update Bubblegum, I am glad you are forming a plan of action, it shows that you are taking control of this and it not controlling you.
You asked about counselling, when I told of the abuse I suffered I was never told of any counselling, and years later when the pedo was re-instated the elders told us to 'move on'. After I realised that I had fallen into a pattern of thinking how I was going to end my life and planning it all out, I went to my doctor and asked for help, he referred me to a psychologist, which saved my life. I didn't have to give details of what I went through, in fact it would be another 12 years before I was able to tell anyone. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Thinking of you, keep us posted.

I really feel for you, what a twisted organisation! If it was me I would phone Bethel and ask them if they're aware of his history, and tell them that you will be contacting the press and seeking legal counsel. How long has he been a ministerial servant? Was he ever spoken to by the police?

a jehovah's witness who sexually abused a child and then had his wrongdoing covered up by the church has been jailed for 13 years.. gordon leighton, 53, admitted sexually abusing a child when he was confronted with the allegations by church elders at washington, tyne and wear.. the elders knew about the 53-year-old's admissions for three years but refused to co-operate with the criminal investigation, and said what they had heard was confidential.. leighton hit the headlines in the 1990s when his wife yvonne, 28, died after refusing a blood transfusion after childbirth on religious grounds.judge penny moreland said that he had subjected his victim to 'untold damage' as she sentenced him at newcastle crown court today.. the judge said: 'you manipulated her with a combination of affection and attention and violence and threats.
'the defendant was found guilty of two charges of indecency with a child and six of indecent assault after a trial.
