The thing I hated most about the name "Jehovah" is how my mother pronounced it. It was always different from everyone else.
Everyone else said "Juh-ho-vuh"
My mother said "Jeeeeehovaaah"
My mother seems to have an accent of unknown origin though. Another example is the word "garbage"
Everyone else says "Gar-buj"
My mother says "Gar-beeej"
In effect, removing the vowels would work well for my mother. JHVH S GRBG.

I think I just figured out what's wrong with the statement "Jesus Saves". It's a typo. It's supposed to say "Jesus Slaves".

What did you think in -95?
by Samuel Thorsen inwhen i first read about wts having "new ligth" on the 1914-generation issue in the newspaper i was shocked.
(some evil apostates had been helpful and informed the paper weeks before i got my november issues of the wt.).
my thoughts was.

I was mad. I was pissed right off.
The thing is, I didn't find out until 2002. I still had the fear that I was going to get killed off at Armageddon. I knew it was right around the corner because how long could the Gen of 1914 live now? When I found out they changed it (Thanks to Randy's site), I was furiously mad.
It's like being taught the color Red was Yellow. Then you find out the truth years later and realize that you've been lied to all your life. But that change in doctrine completely freed me of the fear of Armageddon and instead of being afraid of what my future held, it made me look forward to my future. It was an essential step in me becoming a more positive person. -

Wow, you've sure had the shit kicked out of you over the past while. Sorry to hear things are still going to hell. You could use a vacation.
Teenagers do some really stupid shit. I know because I was one once. Sparky, you were once one too. I'll bet you did some stupid-ass shit.
Seems pretty typical for kids to have a brief run away from home when they're in their mid teens. She'll probably come back with some lessons under her belt. It'll likely make her a bit wiser and smarter.
You may find this a bit weird, but I look back on my teen years and wished I had run away. Probably would've done me a lot of good. Just a good ol' vacation from my parents, living off of what god gave me: my ability to hunt down my own food. Of course, I probably would've been too stupid at that point in my life to know how to do it :)
When she comes back, you book your ass on a plane and goto Hawaii or something. You need a break. -

I feed my cat the dry crap, usually Meow Mix. As long as the cat eats it, he's fine. Because I feed him the dry crap, he hasn't fallen victim to any of that food that was recalled, which was mostly wet food and "gourmet" cat food.
Is he healthy? Well, he's 14 years old and still doing fairly well for a cat his age. I give him cat treats every once in a while, the occasional half-can of wet food, the occasional chunk of ham, the occasional piece of bacon, and the occasional few drops of milk. I also reward him with treats when he catches a mouse.
The problem with him is when he's really hungry, he'll wolf down his food whole and then barf it all up almost immediately after he eats. Not much I can do about that.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to change his brand and/or flavor of food once in a while. Pets get bored of their food too. -

Green bible 1961
by loosie inis the green bible ( new world translation) special in any way?
did the wtbs make any revisional changes when the black one came out?
why did they discontinue the green one?.

LOL @ the shirt!
Also, the 1961 greenie has errors in it. Surprising that Jehovah's true organization messed up on translating Jehovah's instructions, and had millions of people obey it as if it were not full of errors.
I see copies of the greenie at thrift stores quite often. I'm always tempted to pick them up and ebay them, but if I keep finding them, they can't be all that rare. -

Were U Depressed Because U Were A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus inpeople get depressed for various reasons.
but do you know of people that actually suffered from depression mainly because they were witnesses?.
i know of more than a few witnesses that were always discouraged and feeling down.

I was.
I think the problem was that I wanted out, but I couldn't get out because I was living with my parents and I was under the age of 18. After I turned 18 and they still made me goto the meetings, I began rebelling. Basically, I'd had enough, and as an adult, I believed I should make my own decision to attend the meetings and go in Feeld Service.
