  nowhere in the bible is it stated to celebrate your wedding anniversary, yet j.w.

  baby showers are acceptable, but not birthdays.. correct me if i am incorrect, but doesn't the bible say to "honor the father and mother of your youth", yet mothers day and fathers day are unacceptable to celebrate.

  JEHOVAH

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we all know that we do not know the correct pronunciation of the name of god.

  over 6000 times, the tetragrammaton is mentioned in the ot.

  yet for some reason, most bibles do not use the name jehovah or yahweh but a few times.

  I believe the org was not always called JW. After they wrote their own Bible they replaced most of the godlike words to Jehovah simply to have a maximum exposure of the word Jehovah (as part of the organizations name). Part of the brain washing technique.

  This is what the WatchTower overlooks about Eden

  by titomunoz in

  the issue of procreation

  what do i learn from the rebellion in the garden of eden that most do not recognize?

  have we missed or overlooked a vital element that will allow us to further understand the issues and controversy we are facing before god?

  I have a question. I know of a couple that were both JWs and the husband was dissatisfied with the organization and wanted out. Is it possible for a marriage like this to function? Would she be obliged to shun her husband, particularly if he is disfellowshipped? What would the organization think of the husband having parental rights and want the children on weekends and vacations?Would the org intervene in such a situation?The couple did divorce.

  If the USA went to war with Iraq solely for the oil, wouldn't it have been a lot easier the have the UN lift the sanctions? If there were no sanctions Saddam would have opened the spigots full bore until there was no more left and pocketed the money.
