But buying millions of dollars in property for the Lord's work isn't? The God I worship isn't short of cash mister, and just like in Solomon's time, he "doesn't dwell in human abodes."

Watchtower Dec 2014 page 4
by Mr Fool inwt dec-2014 page4: "a bulgarian woman named irana rigthly observed, -it is not posspible to be close to god if you don t know his name.
".
if so many know his name, why this debate "jehovah vs yahweh" then?.

Funny quote, what about those that abuse the name? I mean, I will stand there at attention in the hall when someone opens or closes the meeting with prayer and they repeat the name JEHOVAH as if it were a mannerism, like "uh" or "hmm" or, I don't know, "like."
If you know his name, doesn't he know it as well? Why repeat it 5000 times? If you meet the Queen, do you call her by her name? No, you say "Your Highness" or "Your Majesty" she knows who you are talking to and, guess what, so do you! God, if there is one, is not petty. If you choose to call him "frying pan" and you do it with reverance, then who's to say he doesn't accept that?

"My mom has a tendency to overexagerate. She does not listen to the context of what is said, just snippets." Leave it at that....all of us have a mother.

@ Heaven
What are you talking about? You say that Jesus Christ has not done a "damn thing." What about JW.ORG?!?! He's done that hasn't he? That's better than any other single thing he could have done! Wipe out death? Not even close. Wipe out sickness? Why when you can look at JW.ORG all day when you're sick? Wipe out poverty? You can afford to be poor in a world filled with JW.ORG.
It is the panacea that Jesus assured his followers. Remember what he says in Matthew 5, "Happy are those who yearn and cry out for wisdom, for JW.ORG belongs to them."

I am....The Governing Body was SOOO loving because they urged me to prepare a "Go-Bag"!!! When the you-know-what hits the fan, I know that although people will be clamoring in the streets and neighbors will be killing each other and people will be eating their own children because no food will be available, I will be ok cause I have a small first aid pack, soem bottled water, and a few energy bars, along with matches, a flashlight, hand sanitizer, and plastic bags to store my poop.
Thank you Governing Body for keeping my prepared!!!

What does the Bible REALLY teach?
by Separation of Powers inreally: "in actual fact, as opposed to what is said or imagined to be true or possible".
that is the definition..... now, if this book, as others posters have mentioned, is going to be updated to reflect "new doctrinal changes" then the book should be rejected on its lack of merit.
