Do you still use Jehovah's name?

by naazira in

jw

when you pray do you still use the name jehovah.

i still do.

Brother of the Hawk

No,

I do not use that ficticous name or the name Jesus. Research shows when the name "JEHOVAH" was inserted into the KJ bible there was no "J" in the Hebrew language and oddly enough there was no "J" in the english language either. Both names Jehovah and Jesus are fictious names. Even the WTBT$ knows this. Read the forward in the KIT and they admit they used the name JEHOVAH because it was "POPULAR" . Go figure, an organization who claims to represent the Most High, can't even get that right!!! So my question is: If Jehovah is NOT gods name, than WHO did we really pray to? Please read ISAIAH 12: 12-14

We still pray but use the Hebrew names. That's all I have to say about that.

How long do you believe Born Agains and JWs will wait for Rapture/Armaggeddon?

by booker-t in

i feel so sorry for devout bacs (born again christians) and devout jws because they are spending their whole lives waiting for something that may or may not come.

i sometimes want to cry when i speak with my 80 yr old jw mom and hear her say armaggeddon is around the corner.

or hear my born again aunt say "the rapture is near and jesus will take her to heaven soon" i just want to shake both of them.

Brother of the Hawk

Booket-T. Both dooms day cults will wait as long as they have congerations full of people who cannot read the bible and study on their own, but will still contribute their monies in their contribution boxes.

Hello and my exit story from WTS

by free2Bme13 in

i thought it was fitting for me to share my freedom from the witnesses story on independence day weekend.. i dont have any secret info, just experiences that happened to me and started to open my eyes.. i was a third generation, raised in the truth kid who was never supposed to be born, and then never supposed to graduate high school.

ive now been out of high school longer than i was in school.. the beginning of the end started a little less than a decade ago.

i was late 20s at the time.

Brother of the Hawk

Free2beme: Thank you for your story. It's great to name names of CO's who are jerks. I also am acquainted with one who like you, chose to embarrass me during my pioneer school. Gene Fields!!!

blondie posted her watchtower comments for today and her last paragraph was asking for help, suggestions.

she is in pain from her knee injury, is on steroids and possibly going to have surgery.. she is asking if anyone here, has had the same problem, and if so, what did they do and how was the outcome?.

just lois.

Brother of the Hawk

I just had that surgery a year ago. My opinion only. Stay away from the steroids!!!! They actually do more harm than good. My other knee also has a tear, and the DR. wanted to do steroids therapy, I researched the steroid, Thank you but NO!! I will live with the pain. If you wish you can Pm me or my wife, we'll explain what will happen. Hell, we can even show you pictures of the before and after.

Angsty post

by zound in

i'm not far away from sending out a bunch of letters to all the jw's who i knew when i was one.

the letters are the accumulation of the last few months of research etc.

i've put a lot of effort into wording things just right so that that the jw's don't instantly throw it in the trash.

Brother of the Hawk

I sent a letter to my cousin elder. You guessed it, no reply. It just does not sink in!!!!

Their name will be their downfall.....

by snare&racket in

jw

the bible is written in classical hebrew (there are many other types and older types).

yhwh is a classical hebrew sentence that roughly means 'he wills it, and it happens'.

the hebrew language has such mechanisms for saying things in a shortened form, much like today cpr, rsvp, vip etc..... adonai is also classical hebrew, but its a word.... it means 'lord' and 'master'.. .

Brother of the Hawk

To further your research, quarry this tidbit. When the Name Jehovah was invented, there was no J, V, or w, in the english language. It was still being develope at that time.

Friend gets "scriptural divorce" over wifes transgressions before they got married...

by sosoconfused in

so i have a friend in a congregation in new jersey who recently called me to tell me that he got a divorce.

nothing surprising there at first but it is the fact of when it happened.

his wife began pioneering april 1, and after about three weeks she came to him and told him that about 4 years she had engaged in loose conduct (fondling the penis and the guy kissing her breasts) during a time that she was inactive.

Brother of the Hawk

It has never been a rule. Lets not forget, they make it up this crap up as they go along. It's all about male secret fantasy. You know an available attractive sister on the back burner, just incase. Seen it before. A sister in a cong. I attended, divorces her husband, and NOT on script. grounds and does NOT even get reproved for her actions. In fact she is alluded to a pillar of the cong. This is sick and twisted thinking, but yet it appears to be in writing. Lap dance?? really!!! grounds for divorce!!! Omg Next in line for divorce is watching PORN. This madness will never end. It is totally out of control! Oh EXCUSE me I forgot, It is all about CONTROLL!!!!! Affectionately: Brother of the Hawk ( I will surrender my mind no more, forever)
