Jehovah vs Yahweh , a challenge for those still active in good standing.
by smiddy ini know this is not going to happen and it`s o.k.
for me to bring it up now that i have been out for more than 20 years ,however i would just love for a brother brave enough , or one with nothing to lose to do this.. { in the first edition of the " aid book" speaking of god`s name they stated it was not important about the exact pronunciation of his name so long as the intent was known who was being addressed , the creator , the almighty god .}.
in light of the above , if you are given the opportunity to either open in prayer or close in prayer at one of the meetings instead of using the name jehovah , which was coined by a catholic monk in the 13th century ,you use the equally accepted ,equivalent name " yahweh" ,which is accepted by christendom and jehovah witnesses as being the more likely pronunciation due to new light.in this 21st century.. of course i can understand nobody taking up this challenge , it would take balls i agree.however they did state yahweh is probably the more accurate rendering of god`s name .. and i would be very curious as to what counsel one would be given for doing such a thing.

A Whale has beached itself at Lakes Entrance Vic
by smiddy ini along with many other sightseers was veiwing a beached whale at the tourist resort lakes entrance vic.when an abc cameraman & journalist arrived ,being a resident i was interviewed for the 7:00pm newscast.god knows what i said ,hopefully it will go to air tonight.the whale has been stranded now for about 24 hours and they hope to free it within the next 12 hours.it obviously took a wrong turn through the entrance into the lakes,hopefully when and if it frees itself,with human help ,it finds its way back out to sea.it seems to be stuck in shallow water,not deep enough to swim out of.it makes an effort everynow and again ,swishing the tail or raising its head but to no avail.i`ll keep you informed of new developments.. smiddy.

The Williams sisters,Prince,George Benson,etc.and Sparlock
by smiddy incan you picture either or both of the williams sisters wearing sparlock t-shirts at wimbledom to give them an advantage over their opponents on the court ?
because obviously jehovah hasn`t been favouring them of late.. can we expect to see at prince`s next tour , him giving out free wt dvd`s extolling the virtues of caleb & his mom , so that the next generation can be protected from demon influence.?.
and george benson ?

The WatchTower magazine has been in print for over 133 years ( 100 years more than Jesus Lived ) Has it ever been seen as a magazine of enlightenment for the masses ?
by smiddy inwhat really has the production of this magazine done for the majority of mankind ,i would say zilch,what it has done is provide the basis of a publishing empire that has over the length of this time provided a groundwork of an empire that has amassed vast amounts of money through investments /real estate /contributions/ and sale of books/literature etc/counted as voluntary contributions.
and lets not forget the deceased contributions.. "oh" and did i forget to mention this is a not for profit organization ???.
governments should be seriously looking at organizations such as this to close the loopholes they exploit to end this farce.. smiddy.
