Yadda Yadda! Hi there. We were made in God's" image" (love) and likeness (body, soul and spirit). Thats why (a bit petty here from me - sos!) we debate like we do on this forum - why wer'e like we are, with dreams and aspirations and goals and aims etc. etc. no matter whether we believe in Him or not.

It's the JW's fault that I no longer see evidence for god......apparently.
by punkofnice inif i had a quid for the amount of times i've been told that the reason i no longer see evidence for a god is because the watchtower(tm) damaged my trust in god.....................................i'd have at least a pony!*.
could there be any truth in this?.
have you been told similar for your choices in 'spirituality'?.

Oh - gulp! So sorry. Its going to take some time.....I still cannot think about our Cavalier, Beau (who died in 2009) without getting so upset. Did anyone follow Winston the Cavalier on Youtube? I was the first poster when he passed - it was like losing a little friend. It'll be really tough the next couple of weeks, but we are thinking of you. Love G.x.

punkofnice: Hi!! Rev 22 is not just "the end of the rainbow" for me, its the wonder of God, who stepped into time as the I AM of Exodus or the " who Was and Is and Is to Come"of Rev1:8 consummating everything he purposed to be. I find it freakin' awesome!! Love.G.x

Oculos: I meant if the bible you had read through in 2 months had been the NWT - sorry for the silly wording.

Oculos:Hi! Its devastating when you realise our "faith" was based on lies and deceit - a real house of sand and twigs. My story resonates a lot with yours, regular pioneer for 6 years - the last 6 months as a "woken up " member of the conscious class. The most miserable 6 months ever. I just always got the point that the wt were misrepresenting God - and when we left, scared of the future, I couldn't pray as I had been used to. I just told Him "I am so anxious I feel physically sick, but I know I cannot step into the KH on Sunday. I believe you are being mis-represented". Just tell Him you can't pray at the moment, just that. (He knows already, but its like having to jump off a ledge into some-one's arms who you can't see - that rescuer is desperate for you to jump). His love and unending goodness to you will kick in immediately. (Could tell you amazing things here, but they would invite a lil' bit of scorn on the part ofsome - methinks!). Are you still reading the NWT? If so, pack it away for the time being and get ANY other translation and read it with a Bible Commentary - cover to cover, you will be amazed at the things we never knew as jws. Take your time, you are in 'healing'. Just a word of comfort from Psalm 18 in the New Living Translation: v27 and 28: ""you (God) rescue the humble....you light a lamp for me, the LORD my God lights up my darkness...in your strength....and with my God I can scale any wall"... Wishing you increasing peace and inner contentment. Greta xx

Does God really have a personal name?
by XPeterX inthe bible says that the personal name of god is jehovah/yahweh/jah etc.thing is,we don't know it's correct pronounciation (or the pronounciation of any hebrew name).the name jehovah as we know it today means "he causes to become".someone who causes something to become is just called "creator" or "maker".right?he gave that name to his self so that people or the angels could call him by a name.also,how was he called before the creation of the anything?how can some people claim to be his friends if they don't know his actual name?discuss.

As someone said on Youtube, the Law on blood applied where a death had taken place. (Animal or human). In the case of a blood transfusion, blood is not being ingested but simply used as blood given from one person to another.No-one has to die to give blood and to receive it. God therefore needn't be involved. Warped wt argument/propoganda. "Blood" is more precious than the "life" it "represents" and could SAVE? Just plain crazy. I SO want a "Love Life, Give Blood" sticker for my car.
