Jesus' Name
by Utopian_Raindrops inok i have a question...does anyone know why we call jesus.....well jesus...i mean he was jewish and his hebrew name was yeshua.
so why did the whole world adopt the greek version of his name?
i do like it and all but, with jehovah now...depending on where you live you call him by his name in your language not the hebrew language.

holiday angst
by patches ini grew up as a witness. forced into it actually by my mother. i was originally baptised catholic and spent a lot of time with my catholic grandma. i hated the whole jw thing. never accepted any of it. just went to every damn meeting with mom and abstained from any life affirming childhood experience because i was a well behaved kid.. <p>here's the problem: now that i am a grown-up, the holidays are a nightmare for me. i simply can not enjoy them. i have to approach them from an adult point of view but with a child-like longing for something i have missed. it doesn't help that i spend some of the holiday with my boyfriend's family where his parents still treat him like a child and shower him with expensive gifts. i give gifts as well but my need for them, both from an economical standpoint as well as an emotional one, is still great. i know it's not about the gifts but i feel that i have missed out on some shared cultural experience that leaves me feeling like only part of a person. it is hell on the self-esteem. this year, i am turning down the christmas morning at his house and will preserve my dignity at home with my 6 year old daughter. she will have the christmas experience as best as i can construct it. </p>.
<p>now, for all of the current jw's out there, please hold your comments. i go to a nice presbyterian church now and am very happy to have all my spiritual needs met especially wrt to christmas. i would like to hear from the grown up children of jw's who also missed out. is this a normal feeling? how do you deal with it? </p>.

Looking for a King
by JH inwho do you think will be the next "king of the north", that is needed to fill prophesy?
just like a puzzle, all the pieces have to be put together, and one big piece is missing today.
i think that germany was the king of the north during the second world war, and the soviet union was the king of the north afterwards up to 1990, until it fell apart.
