The recent "Special " talk ,how many times was the name JEHOVAH mentioned VS the name JESUS
by smiddy3 inthe jehovah`s witnesses have long charged christendom`s religions falsely i might add of hiding the name of god jehovah /yahweh from their congregants ,by not using it or putting that name on the back burner so to speak ,and just using it minimally .. i`m just wondering if the jehovah`s witnesses /wtb&ts are actually guilty themselves of doing the very same thing with the name of jesus.. in the nwt of the bible 1984 edition i have in the section bible words indexed they have the name jehovah listed 80+ times ,.
however the name jesus is listed less than twenty times .. while i concede the bulk of the bible is contained by the o.t./hebrew scriptures and the n.t./christian greek scriptures are a smaller portion of the bible jehovah`s witness theology do place a lot more emphasis on jehovah than they do with jesus.. arent they guilty of trying to downplay the role of jesus christ in christianity ?
and exulting the name of jehovah which by the way goes against the christian teaching .phillipians 2:9-11.

secret communion meal celebration.
by waton inthe last supper was a get together of renegade jews on a traditional holiday.
why should not wtbts inc, dissenter, like ray franz, celebrate apart , or later, not also have a communion meal, around the globe, to celebrate their shared unity and freedom?.
surely, even died - in - the - wool atheists could accept a community action like that, wine under the palms and the full spring moon?.

"I don't want to hear any negative comments about the truth"
by days of future passed intoday the "anointed" sister that drops off tracts at my house, did a little i'll just stop by and show her a website about furniture and then offer the memorial tract visit.. her exhusband is a jw that did terrible things to her by taking property, didn't want to pay adequate child support and had the elders on his side.
she was telling me all about how, because he felt so guilty, now he had intestinal problems.
eventually the conversation ended and she offered the memorial tract to me.. "did you get an invitation?
