ok so thats what jesus said we must do, so the question at hand is, does going around the world telling people that gods name is jehovah does this really sanctify his name, really????
so if i went around my town and told every one that satans name is lucifer will this make satan holy?
is this what jesus was taking about jw's, think about it.
I agree with Billy the Bethlite. I also find interesting that Jehovah put 'Babylon the Great' in charge of making sure that we have the Bible today. All those councils if the Catholic Church during the 4th century C.E. that canonized our current Bible. As JW's we accept that Jehovah preserved his WORD intact despite using 'false religion' to do the job. I wonder why Jehovah didn't see to it that his NAME was preserved down through the centuries. Is he ashamed of his name?

this brochure is being studied, in the org starting form this week.
it rams lies down our throats, trying to convince us the the wt is god's organisation.
it lies to us about how the wt is doing jehovah's will.. we are going to be subjected to lies, lies and more lies for weeks.
A few years ago, my wife asked me this same question, Who else today are doing Jah's will? She was very concerned since I had become more vocal about the WTBTS and particularly the 'self-appointed' GB. I answered by saying, "How does it glorify Jehovah when we are directed by the GB/fds to preach things for decades that are not true, suchas, 'this generation'. She got my point.

the governing body and its sellect writers must be hitting a delusional rock bottom over this bull crap:.
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/jehovahs-will/bible-truth-rediscovered/.
incere men carefully studied the bible.
Interesting how Jehovah saw to it that his word was so faithfully preserved for all mankind (by the Catholic Church) but he couldn't see to it that his NAME was faithfully preserved in his word. Was he ashamed of his OT name?

i`m an optimist and i would say zilch .
i would bet you a million dollars ( if i had a million dollars ) that if you did a survey in the street that you live , asking the householders what is the life saving message jehovahs witnesses bring to your door on a regular basis , they would not have a clue.. and they have been preaching this message for over 100 years .
how inefective can they be .. the probable answers you would get are : they dont take blood transfusions.
Are you kidding me? How many JW's even have a clue about a life saving message? At least 4 pepole per car drive around Saturday morning making a 'call' here and a 'call' there to 'kill' some time before 'break'. After 'break' they make one final 'call' so their time can continue. Occasionally, they may "work" a street where 99% aren't home or don't answer the door. It's only about reporting TIME not a life saving message.
First question asked at a BOE meeting when discussing appointing another Elder or MS is;; (drum roll) "How's his time?"
First question the BOE usually asks of the 'pioneers' is;;(drum roll) "How are you doing with your time?"
i bethelite sent this email out - can't really give out names.
we wrote these figures as quickly as possible, but could not keep up 100%).
you get to check these figures out when you get your 2014 yearbook.

My wife's best friend starting 'pioneering' last year. It was her "heart's desire". She has about 8 BS's but here is the kicker. She studies (baby sits) with 4 kids from the same family of a inactive mother. 4 hours at the same home (baby sitting) studing? Very creative ways to report hours. Heck, I report 3-4 hours per month just to keep the brothers from bothering me. I haven't been in field service for 2 years but I need to keep up appearances until my famnily sees ttatt. Got to report 20 hours per month during KH build a couple of years ago. Scared service they call it. I mean 'sacred service'.
My wife is starting to see the hipocracy and one of my son's sees it clearly but he has a very born-in wife.

for me .... 1).
last district convention after having 'read up' (took some family to it).. 2).
last 'meeting' to watch step-father-in-law finally get his and get disfellowshipped for molestation.. ...both were taking vodka shots in the bathroom.. i'm sure there's lots of good stories out there..
The RBC brothers here in central California use 'quick builds' to together with their drinking buddies after the day's work. One of the 'head' brothers even said that was what he liked most about being RBC, didn't have to go home to his wife and got to hang out with his drinking buddies. Lots of drinking after the r and f go home during the so called 'quick builds'.

12 since the establishment of the kingdom in 1914, the king has refined the way gods servants are organized to do his fathers will.
(read isaiah 60:17.
) in 1919, a service director was appointed in each congregation to take the lead in the preaching work.
April 4, 1975 when Microsoft was born and the internet started to in form JW's of our sorrid past!

bro "elder" took his family to disneyland.
the first day, he did not want them to go on this "demonic" ride.
So says the WTBTS:
Birthdays are wrong because of 'pagan origin'
Christmas is wrong because of 'pagan origin'
Thanksgiving is wrong because of 'pagan origin'
Toasting is wrong because of 'pagan origin'
Blah, blah, blah, is wrong because of 'pagan origin'
DISNEYLAND IS OK DESPITE IT'S OBVIOUS CONNECTION TO MAGIC, WITCHES, ETC.
It's like Doug Mason says, 'JW's obey the GB because of WHO they claim to be, not because of WHAT the say.'

I have often wondered why the WTBTS hasn't told JW's not to go to Disneyland. After all it is the "Magic Kingdom" right? JW's can't celebrate anything that is or could be remotely pagan in origin, right? But something that promotes or that is even remotely associated with magic is okay. right? Just another example of stupid reasoning (unreasoning).

for me it is the smugness.
it's their inability and refusal to admit they are wrong....ever...even in the face of irrefutable evidence.
isn't pride a sin?
Smugness is what woke me up after 60+ years.
