Jesus did recognize and use God's name.....but, it wasn't jehovah
by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. inthat's right - like so many scriptural verses which have been corrupted by translation and interpretation over the centuries, so too has the defining scripture where jesus clearly identified gods name.
of course, that verse is the so called model prayer, and contrary to the beliefs of many it does highlight god's name.. as jesus said -"let us pray then this way - our father who art in heaven, harold be thy name....... so once again, the witnesses have got it wrong.
they should refer to themselves as harold's witnesses, and they should be doing harry's will.

Too young to pioneer
by freedom96 ini was talking with an old friend of mine who had gone to the assembly just a couple of weeks ago.. he told me the story of a young boy, who went with his mother door to door all his life, from a very young age.
apparantly, the boy was upset when his mother when to pioneer school without him back when he was 4 years old or so.
but, of course, he was too young to attend the school, so his mother went without him.. the boy is now 11, a regular pioneer, baptized, and very disappointed for he will not be allowed to go to pioneer school until he reaches the minimum age, 16.. what a fine example everyone!!.

Learning The Language.
by Englishman ina few moments ago, in the chat room, reference was made to a tv series called "mi 5".
now simon, little toe and myself had never heard of it, even though it's a brit programme.
reason is, because in the uk, it's simply called "spooks".. it was immediately pointed out to us that this is a derogatory term in the us, although over here it simply means "ghosts".. so, ladeez and gentlemen, .
