  I wonder if that family worships Jehovah and calls on him by name?

  This sort of thinking really galls me - how utterly stupid. So you are implying that if they don't they deserve what they got, or it's not suprising that this happened. And if they did, what does that say about Jehovah?

  I really feel that if humans are important enough to be called by their names, then certainly the great God of the universe should be respected enough to be called by his name and not just God or Lord.

  You are making god into an image based on man. This is what the bible and other "revealed" teachings do, they anthropomorphize god.

  You guys sound like you think I am a Jehovahs w. Well I'm not! Its just that when I left the organization I didn't leave hating Jehovah as some of you seem to have done. I don't blame Jehovah for all the human fault and imperfection. Things that happen to people are their own fault and things that happen to children are usually the parents fault. Everything you have thought, said, or done, has caused you to arrive at the place you are today.

  And by the way, I left a little billfold type purse in a car one night when I was still going to the hall, and the car was unlocked. I didn't think anyone would be out in the parking lot stealing things, but they did. At that time I was making all the meetings, going in service, studying like crazy, but I didn't even think to pray about that little purse. Its almost like... when you are going to the hall you shouldn't pray about material things. Anyway a few days later a conveince store called and said they found it in their garbage. My money was gone but my drivers license was still in it. I didn't have a credit card at that time. Now that I no longer go to the hall, I pray to Jehovah about everything!! Even things that embarrass me to talk about. Gheesh, I hope I spelled that right, cause even after going thru high school and 2 yrs of college I don't spell well.

  I also pray in Jesus name, because he said anything you ask in my name according to his will he will give it to you. Jehovah and Jesus are my friends, and I talk to them all the time. I certainly don't have any so called friends since I left the hall, and I can't seem to make many here either. But thats OK, I'm not complaining

  Talking to Jehovah and Jesus is just fine, I trust them, which is more than I can say for most people, especially those at the hall who I THOUGHT were best friends, but who have never even been around and asked why I quit going to the hall

  Annie I am glad that you found your purse otherwise it would have meant a lot of aggravation to replace all the things lost.
  
  
  However most ex JWs don't like using the name jehovah because it smacks too much of the WTS, the obsolete old testament and a judaising influence. The apostles didn't use the name neither do the Jews themselves for a long time.
  
  
  Christianity is centred around the name of Christ.

  annie, 2 things.

  1) You are very disrespectful to the people you think are being disrespectful to you. Jehovah jehovah jehovah blah blah Jehovah blah Jehovah. That's disrespectful to the people who have been hurt by the group bearing your god's name. and don't think saying "at least I don't hate jehovah like you do" is a valid argument. you are misrepresenting most people's true positions. I for one do not hate jehovah. I just do not believe in his existence but hate those who by their actions prove they do not believe in Jehovah but are claiming to speak for him in order to lord it over others, ie Jehovah's Witness leaders.

  2) The very people who have hurt you also pray using Jehovah's name. think about that one.

  It would be a real shame if this annie person was really some poster attempting to make christians seem petty. That's a line even I wouldn't cross. Annie I hope you are for real, but I will hesitate to be baited by you again in the future.

  Hi Annie,

  I admire your courage, you certainly took some stick over your thread title, but you're still here!

  I personally don't hate jehovah or jesus, I don't particularly believe in them anyway. I do hate the wts as an organisation though, but not individual jws. There are a few jws I don't like, but there's no hatred.
