It is true that the English version of Jehovah is not the correct pronunciation, but we accept all the other ?J? names in the Hebrew texts. and Jesus is not the way to pronounce his name in either Greek of Hebrew but we use it.JW Ben, perhaps but you talking about your God. You should at least refer to him as Yahweh. BTW would you call your dad by his first name?

I love this question for the dubbie, my current study (its my hobie) refers to " Jesus answers Satan " do not tempt Jehovah your God"
Of course this is from the NWT "new way to twist things."
In fact nowhere in the NT does Jesus specifically "glorify" Gods name. Its a good question if you can keep their feet to the fire.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Born-Again Christians are too much alike its scary
by booker-t inever since i left the jw's i visited a few born-again christian churches and i felt like i was sitting in a kingdom hall of jw's.
because born-agains are more like jw's then they want to admit.
both jw's and ba's think they know everything.

booker t,
I throughly disagree, I was born a Jw, and now a "born againer" if you will, the view I had of a "BA" s while a witness was a very distorted view.
The only comparision that needs to be made is what does the Jw do with Christ, verses the importance of Christ to the born again Christian. Christ being the focal point of Christianity and Jehovah the OT God of Israel for the witness.
Most all main line Christian faiths hold the same core beliefs for several hundreds of years, of course not according to the dubs who's doctrine has shifted like the sands in a recent 120 years or so. Hmmmmm?

You could start with a really good free program "E-Sword" And download all the free Bibles. Lockman foundation will charge for their Bibles. And compare with the parallel feature.

Terry: Never make a statement; only ask a question. A question is never an assertion and will not "break".
Great advice Terry. After three years of studying with different jws, this method is the best, I personally look for Jws to study with, I enjoy it.
The question leaves the one asking in total control. And remember its not what you believe, this is a trick they can angle on, attacking what you believe. Dont allow this. They are the ones selling the "eternal life insurance" the burden is always upon them.
Just take it slow, you will make mistakes its ok. This site is a great place for information, just keep asking.

Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?
by Little Bo Peep inhello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.
i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.
i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

Alwayshere........ But WTS does agree with History on the fall of Babylon in 539 and the only way you can get 539 is using these 66 years that 43, 2, 4, and 17 total.
This is what scholar cannot deal with. If you continue to pressure scholar on this problem as Alleymom has done, it is obvious scholar has nothing to back his wt chronology. Except to say there was a missing king somewhere in the neo-Babaylonian rules.
Notice he will never give his knigs list of neo-Babylonian rule with years????????
Still waiting Neil.....
