  Calling God "Lord"

  by Neophulis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i never realized it before or maybe i'm dissecting this too much, but is the belief in the holy trinity the reason why "most" christian religions reference to god as "lord" under the belief that god/holyspirit/jesus are all one and the same.

  therefore by speaking about our lord jesus christ, we are also speaking about god himself(under that belief system) which allows us to call onto both at the same time and then simply differentiate jesus by his name jesus or by saying 'lord jesus'.. i only know and have studied the jw religion by my own devotion and was not sure if a non-jw christian religion refers to god by a name(regardless of language translation) because i remember reading that god's name is indicated as "jehovah" in the holy bible(king james translation - i think) and wasn't sure how other religions view the concept of god having a name.

  whether it's yahweh or jehovah or any other translation.. i just figured that the common man would visualize any of the other two parts of the holy trinity when referencing the 3rd piece so by saying 'lord' to call upon god, you are also calling upon jesus because they are both the same.. i guess i got a little bored at work and started thinking too deeply.

  Before JWs existed?

  by Neophulis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a not-so simple question.... what would or have jws explained about any existence prior to charles taze russell's "epiphany" that he had discovered jehovah and the absolute truth surrounding jehovah.. the thing that i'm really picking at is i don't think many jws realize that their religion was formed by a mere mortal.

  a human being who considered himself a prophet.

  if such a man was to declare himself a prophet post-jw startup, jws would consider him part of "babylon" or manifestations of "satan himself!".

  Love in my heart finally achieved!!!(kinda long)I

  by Neophulis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is my first post and i wanted to say that i've been reading this site for about 2 or 3 weeks now on and off.

  my experiences are nowhere near as deep as many of people on these forums but i did study the jw/watchtower material for about 2 1/2 years starting when i was like 15. i kept many of those beliefs with me even after i stopped studying on a regular basis around the year 2000. i'm 22 now and it wasn't until very recently that i was finally realizing the grim reality of the jw religion.

  i guess you could call that "new light"... .
