  Why Not Celebrate Christmas?

  by Mum in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, jw's don't celebrate christmas or other holidays.

  as bill cetnar once said, there are two reasons for everything: the reason they tell you, and the real reason.

  they will tell you it's because christmas is "pagan" and can lead to all sorts of licentious conduct (like drinking too much macallan scotch?)..

  Do the old boys on the GB actually report their field service hours?

  this came to mind as my 71 year old wife got up at 6:30 to drive 1.1/4 hours to meet the field ministry group.

  we live a long way from the kingdom hall and the traffic is horrendous where we live!.

  somehow, i doubt the good old boys do much themselves.

  I doubt very much that they would lower themselves to go D2D and actually speak to members of BTG

  He gave it to Hebrew speaking people in the Hebrew language as Yahveh. But to English speaking people he gave it as Jehovah.
  

  Oh ? and when was that exactly ?

  Have the Jehovah's Witnesses brought reproach on the name Jehovah?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  i would have to say yes...by tagging god's alledged name in their title and attaching to it unusual doctrines, end of world date predictions, deadly blood interpretation, abusive shunning policy, csa cover ups.. is there more?.

  If he did indeed exist maybe he would with their use of Jehovah and not the more appropriate name YAHWEH for the name of God as the Jews would never have said Jehovah

  Why did Jehovah`s Witnesses settle on the pronunciation of God`s name as Jehovah ?

  They admit that the four consanants can either be JHVH or YHWH and since their is no J sounding letter in the Hebrew language why wouldn`t they have settled on the more appropriate name for God as Yahweh ?

  The subsidy for Jehovah's Witnesses' 12,686 members last year amounted to approximately NOK 16 million.

  This is on top of what they have been getting from R&F donations from members .

  Were you as a Jehovah`s Witness aware that the Govt. gave your organization / religion NOK 16 million ?

  Pedersen says that, with the help of the newly established department for religious freedom, they are now considering what legal steps they can take.

  On the one hand they, the JW`s, state that the worldly governments are in control of satan the devil the God of this system of things and on the other hand they expect to be re-imbursed financially by the same governments they say are going to be destroyed at armageddon ? ? ?

  Are they hypocrites ? you decide.!
