The word jehovah was made up in the medieval period.
Shhhh! Don't tell anybody that!
when we were in, it was 'the truth'.after being out and free to think and research as i please, what a disappointment to find out that this org is nothing but a publishing house of lies.they literally are in the business ( corporation ) of selling lies.don't believe me?review the publication that you 'studied the bible in' and discover for yourself that the very doctrine that attracted you, no longer exists.it was the "live forever" book for me.the generation that saw the events of 1914 has died and now after a few tweaks the massive lie of "overlapping generations" has been promoted as "truth".this takes us to galatians 1:8,9.read it carefully and repeatedly.
in multiple translations.however, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond what we declared to you as good news, let him be accursed.
9 as we have said above, i also now say again, whoever it is that is declaring to you as good news something beyond what you accepted, let him be accursed.. you cannot change the doctrines.

"it’s official: secretary of the treasury jack lew has announced that abolitionist harriet tubman will replace president andrew jackson on the $20 bill.
and, while jackson will still reportedly remain on the reverse side of the bill, the move is nonetheless a momentous one.. .
"naturally there are many people who will complain about this decision, but since tubman’s legacy leading slaves to freedom through the underground railroad is beyond reproach, these critics will most likely turn to defending jackson.
So "Old Hickory" is being replaced on the $20 bill, huh? Good. He is directly responsible for the forceful removal of millions of Native Americans in the southeastern U.S. in the 1820's and 1830's. They were forced to march on the Trail of Tears west to the deserts Oklahoma. Jackson ignored a Supreme Court decision and forced Native Americans to move. It is time for a change. Personally, they should replace all of the presidents (and Hamilton) with other great Americans. Americans who, for the most part, had a positive influence on the world, not just the U.S. That list is short, but it is long enough to find suitable replacements for the presidents (and Hamilton).
4 generations of the royal family.
excuse me, i'm one of jw's, i only see one overlap generation of the royal family.

How about the "Crying Jordan" meme?
91. my evil stepmother says god is just my friend.. life at the hall can be hard.watchtower's walls can bring tears and pain.
still every day i will bray*, "my life is not in vain".
for god is not my father, memorial emblems i must disown.
seems as though the number of baptisms even for the young ones is down from what people report here.
at my former hall the young ones are all in totally sheltered even while going to school.
expressing thier desires to pioneer etc.
@ smiddy:
That is an excellent point. What exactly is the message anymore? If I were to put 100 witnesses on the spot and ask them what the message is, 99 of them would stutter before giving you a vague, head-scratching response.
i am just curious who on this board is in the same situation has i am?
a spouse that is fully brain doogled in and you are awake to ttatt.. without going into serious detail and no names are given.
i would like to possible talk with one of you all, it's just so helpful to communicate with someone in the same situation as me.. i am located in the southwest united states..
we were always told that as witnesses we were "sincere bible students".... carefully examining the scriptures.. yes, we were indeed taught much about the content of the bible, it's history, prophecies etc..... but it was always from one perspective....that of the society.
when the society changed its interpretations, we had to do the same..... so were we really "bible students", or "society students"?.
just a thought.....
The JWs aren't bible students, they're Watchtower students.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
