  • do not put Jehovah thy God to the test. also do u call ur father bob or joe? No u say dad or father

  • In Matthew 6:9 says 'let your name be sanctified'

  • True, the mere absence of the word Trinity does not prove a thing in relation to the correctness or incorrectness of the Trinity doctrine. The evidence against the Trinity should come straight from the scriptures.

  • Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. However, if Jesus quoted either the LXX or the Hebrew at Matthew 4, then he would have used God's name. Besides, many of the Psalms were prayers where Jehovah is used numerous times according to both the Hebrew and the oldest LXX manusripts.

  • @MOREHARTH- You are correct. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I've been trying to get JWs to understand that for years. You know, like the fact that the Bible doesn't use the word "Trinity." If the Trinity isn't trues becasue the word isn't found in Scripture, then Jesus never addressed God in prayer as Jehovah. It is the same argument.

  • Comment removed

  • In the Lords Prayer (Matt 6:9) it says "let your name be sanctified" God's name is YHWH aka JHVH aka Jehovah- this way it is prenouncible, so to sanctify it we must spread the word and teach about Jehovah, that is what the scripture means.

  • @PhilPho1 have you ever looked at the definition of "sanctified"? It means sacred, holy, respect, and yes, even for sacred religious uses. I cannot find a single definition of sanctified that says to use it casually, or use to make a point, or use to prove you are right. I personally find the name too sacred to use in everyday conversations. I DO let His name be sanctified. I do let His name be sacred. I don't use it as an advertising tool.

  • (Matthew 4:10) Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”

    Jesus tells Satan that JEHOVAH ALONE is to be worshiped.....

    He (Jesus Christ) is quoting scripture. As he did throughout this account with Satan.....

    He is quoting (Deuteronomy 10:20) which, if you check your Bible, has the Tetragrammaton (YHWH/JHVH) Jehovah.....

    Jesus declared Jehovah' Name always. (John 17:6)

  • Are you implying that in the almost 7000 times that the Tetragrammaton appears as YHWH/JHVH, and represents Gods name, that the Bible is WRONG???

    Are you implying that the Name in the Hebrew and Greek scriptures, which clearly show Gods name to be YHWH/JHVH Yahawah or Jahovah, is incorrect?

    Jehovah's Witness or not...... Do you deny that the Tetragrammaton is there some 7000 times and is Gods name which literally means "He causes to Become"???

    Do you truly hold Scripture as the Authority?

  • @david42262 Jehovah is a bastardization of the original name. The Jews, the ones who came up with YHWH, have stated that Jehovah is about as far from the original as you can get.

    But the greatest statement of yours, "Do you truly hold Scripture as the Authority?" is priceless. JW theology has very little to do with the Bible. As a born-in, I speak from experience. What the typical JW believes has everything to do with what the Governing Body currently teaches.

  • We are witnesses in a different sense, we follow in Jesus footsteps as he was a witness of his Father, teaching and preaching Jehovahs will. However we are witnesses of Jehovah because he is our heavenly father and we preach his will just as Jesus did.

  • Jesus and god have the strongest father and son relationship ever in the history of the earth. Now, my relationship with my dad is absolutely nothing compared to that of theirs, and yet, I don't call my dad by his name. Then surely in the relationship between Jehovah and Jesus I'm not surprised Jesus calls him father, rather than by name.

    so my question back would be: Why SHOULD Jesus have to call his father by name?

  • @07713c- Exactly my point. Why should ANY of us address God as Jehovah?

  • @EvidenceMinistries So we'd know if you're talking about Zeus or Jehovah

  • @1Minute60Seconds- Don't you think God already knows? If you understood <----- question, then you know who I am talking about too. ;-)

  • If you honestly have to introduce yourself, give your name and say u will call me by my name then u have some problems. Who does that, honestly? Jehovah made man in his image, He knows us inside and out, He knows every hair on our heads, If He really had to tell us His name and remind us "Oh yeah btw thats what you call me ok" Then he would have said that in the scriptures. Its not rocket science, If someone tells you there name they automatically assume thats what you are going to call them by

  • Its not disrespectful to call your dad by his name, its just the way humans in general address their parents, when a son or daughter introduces their parent they dont say "this is my dad his name is dad" No, They say this is my dad his name is whatever it is. We get the idea to adress Jehovah by his name because he tells us to. Jehovah doesnt say my name is jehovah u will call me jehovah. When you introduce yourself you dont say hi my name is bill call me bill, u just assume they are going to

  • All the times Jesus will say Jehovah's name he would also add in your God. But when when he would talk to him directly he would say father meaning he had respect for him. I wouldn't call my dad by his name that disrespectful. I call him dad.

  • @silkyhands914- EXACTLY! If it is disrespectful to call you earthly father by his first name, where do you get the idea that we are to address God by His name? To know it is one thing. To call Him by it is another.

  • Comment removed

  • Matthew 4:7 "Jesus said to him: again it is said, you must not put Jehovah your god to the test." many bibles versions take out the name Jehovah and put in lord. Lord is just a title even Jesus was referred to as lord however Ezekiel 39: 7 says that Gods holy name will be known in the midst of people and that name is Jehovah (Look it up). I don't have to tell you how many times the name Jehovah come up in the bible even the name Jesus mean "Jehovah is salvation."

  • @silkyhands914- This has nothing to do with my question. Please listen to the video again.

  • The word Jehovah isn't in the New Testament and they have no proof that it did exist in the NT, what they do have is some schoolar said that there could be the possibility, but possibilities are not facts, whats also interesting is the dead see scrolls do not have Jehovah as well.

  • Where in scripture are we commanded to use ONLY the name YHWH? His Word testifies of Him, and it shows His name (Character). He showed Moses His name on the mount when Moses asked what was His name. Moses came down with His Law, which is His eternal Righteousness. The name Jehovah was not even penned until 1270 by a catholic monk. I prefer to use the name Jehovah because it's what I'm used to, but I won't create a man made doctrine from it. We Love Him because of His (Character) name.

  • Psa 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

  • "that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.-John 5:23.

    JWs, are you honoring the Son the same as the Father?

    Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me,...-John 8:42a.

  • He didn't use his first name he said Father, God in prayer! Much like if you were praying to or even speaking to your earthly father, would you say his name such as oh Tim, oh, Bob, dear Darrin, etc no of course not. It's Dad or pop or Father, NO?

    How about all the times Jesus said Jehovah's name, how about that?

  • Quick question to answer your question :)

    Did Jesus ever use the name Jehovah?

    Can you show me this in a contemporary bible?

    Follow that lead and you will find the answer to your initial question.

  • Witnesses of both Jehovah and Jesus. As faithful Jews, Jesus’ early disciples were already witnesses of Jehovah. (Isa. 43:10-12) But now they were to witness also concerning Jesus’ vital role in sanctifying Jehovah’s name by means of His Messianic Kingdom. Their thus bearing witness to Jesus was with Jehovah’s glory in view. (Rom. 16:25-27; Phil. 2:9-11) They testified that Jehovah had not lied, that after more than 4,000 years he had at last raised up the long-promised Messiah, or Christ!

  • Do you call your father by his name or do you call him dad ? Out of Love childern usualy call their parents mom and dad, Jesus called him father,but he did say that he made his fathers name know to others.

    JN 17:6 “I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world...

    JN17:26 And I have made your name known to them and will make it known...

    Why did Jehovah God put his name in the bible over 6000 if he does not want people to use it? How is this logical

  • My comments were a little unfair...as I wasn`t saying my own opinions, I was `quoting` a JW about prayer....not my own words.....I wanted to see the reaction....basically I was told if I wasn`t a JW then the devil is answering my prayers NOT God.

  • Jehovah only listens to JWs prayers, if you are not a JW but pray and get your prayers answered it is not God answering your prayers, it is the devil. Remember, the devil can turn himself into an angel of light.....be warned.

  • @girlznguitarz Jezzzz They really got you brainwashed. JWs really need to know who Jesus really is. JWs grossly dishonor Him simply by declaring that He's a created angel, a god, a Lord, or God's lil' kid. Unless you have Jesus, you don't have the Father. He doesn't know you, or hear your prayers, unless it's a sincere prayer of repentance. To know who Jesus really is you can start with (Rev.1:8). But use a real Bible. Not that doctored knock off NWT. That's worse than a porn novel.

  • Jesus uses Jehovah's name several times in the scriptures when talking to other people about his father. In Matthew 23:39 Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for not accepting those sent in Jehovah's name. This shows that Jesus himself was sent in and recognized the importance of his father's name. When praying to his father, he was speaking to him as a son to a father. Would you use your father's name when speaking with him? Jesus showed respect for his father in this way.

  • Well, since we all should be footstep followers of Christ, you have to ask yourself of who & what was Jesus a witness of Rev 3:14?

  • u r correct. Christ NEVER did. IM an EX JW and was shocked to realise this. If Christ didnt make it at least as important as the JW's, then what in the hell is the big deal?

  • the new testament just used the word lord or god but the old testament uses jehovah,So are you questioning jws or the bible itself?More importantly are you trying to just stumble people or are you trying to find the answers here???If you have the answers then please make your vids less boring and tell all.personally i think you need to go away and grow up and learn more.

  • U must have a bible that does not mention the name of Jehovah maybe it jus says the lord if noticed this in many translations, also Angels is sometimes replaced by Sons of God. try a bible in a diferent language other than english

  • It is a waste of time debating different subjects in the Bible with people that believe that Jesus is God. If you don't actually LISTEN to what Jesus said then your arguments are empty. If Jesus is God, then why would Satan tempt him??? NO ONE including Satan can tempt his creator!

    Go away, Satan!...It is Jehovah your God YOU MUST WORSHIP, and it is to HIM ALONE you must render sacred service. Matthew 4:8-10

    John 4: 21-24

  • If you put down peoples religious beliefs regardless of whether you believe in God or not, then that is pure religious intolerance.

    I don't put down anybody's religious beliefs but I will defend my beliefs by showing people truths from the Bible.

    People on this site that 'claim' to be Christians or 'claim' to believe in God are attacking JW's with there comments. Those people are unrighteous in their actions.

  • @darrenrustyp

    Religious beliefs and forced adherence to bogus religious tenets are two different things.

    You being here against your handler's intructions that you claim to support would make you a hypocrite, no?

    "Come follow these men the way I don't."

  • propagandatechniques - Doesn't it make sense that in the last days God would bring about an ORGANISED group of Christians to 'Preach the Good News of the Kingdom' the way that Jesus and his disciples (followers) did not in groups here and there believing in THIS Church, THIS Prophet and THIS Teacher???

    Timothy 4:3, 4

    1 Corinthians 1:10

    Matthew 7:13, 14

  • @darrenrustyp

    No, it does not make sense. It's like telling me speaking in tongues is evidence of true believers, because true believers spoke in tongues.

    I can use the same type argument too:

    Show me where Jesus went door to door. He didn't.

    This is what Jesus commanded:

    (Luke 10:7)

    " . . .So stay in that house, eating and drinking the things they provide, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not be transferring from house to house."

    Are Jehovah's witnesses listening?

  • Ok, typical to take one scripture out of context. Why don't you try reading around the two sentences you conveniently picked? How will the apostles that Jesus sent by two's like how JW's go door-to-door "enter into a house" Luke 10:5 if they didn't go up to the door first so that they can enter if "a friend of piece is there"? Luke 10:6

  • @wchssexyangel05

    Please read all my comments to you in this thread. There are about 6 of them.

    This is a good question you asked. My suggestion is that you ask Jesus that very same question. "Jesus; how are we to go make friends of peace at peoples' homes if we are not to transfer from house to house?"

    What do you think he'll tell you?

  • @darrenrustyp

    No it would not make sense to use an Organization because Israel, the only one he every arguably used, was an absolute and utter failure, as it spit out even his own son.

    It also would not be fair and just to the people who are said to have perished at Gods hand on other occasions such as the flood. God told Noah he had been found deserving without warning and the rest were to perish. Jesus said that the flood came and swept them away, "because they never knew" what hit them.

  • it could make sense. but not anymore than he is reading hearts and finding faithful christians in all denominations and groups. If truth, cortrect bible understand at all times on doctrine is the test, they ALL fail, even, and especially, the watchtower. The have some thigs "right", and some things wrong. agreed? false datse of end of world, geberation , changes inall kinds of things, from what the anointed are, how many, who go where, heaven or earth, all nhave changed, thus were wrong

  • Unless I am mistaken I do not recall anywhere that Jesus uses his fathers name in prayer 2 him. And it would be kind of odd 2 do so, seeing the he is Jehovahs son. Your own daughter or son doesnt call you by your name, do they? They do use youre your familial title, Daddy or Father or Dad or in the USA, Pop, but never Alfred or Frederick or Samuel, for example, that would be strange. A step parent however may have his name used however. Are you trying to prove that he was NOT a son perhaps?

  • @paradiseregain

    He's proving by your own admission that God is our father too and we pray to him the way Jesus instructed. OUR father.  Jesus didn't say, "MY father. He included me and all those desiring to be in that relationship with God the Father to address Him as daddy.

    Do you love Jesus paradiseregained?

  • @paradiseregain

    To your handlers:

    Enoch XCVII: 8, 10. "Woe to you who acquire silver and gold in unrighteousness, and say:

    'We have become rich with riches and have possessions,

    And have acquired everything we have desired. . ."

    10. Yea, and like water your lies shall flow away;

    For your riches shall not abide,

    But speedily ascend from you;

    For ye have acquired it all in unrighteousness,

    And ye shall be given over to a great curse.

  • @darrenrustyp Off topic. Please answer my question. Did Jesus ever address God as "Jehovah" in prayer?

  • EvidenceMinistries - No because a son or daughter addresses his/her Father as 'Dad' or 'Father' if they have any respect. I call my Father 'Dad' when I talk to him, I don't call him by his first name.

    In the last days...men will be...blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers...having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power and from these turn away 2 Timothy 3:1

  • @EvidenceMinistries

    lol i can't believe that's your real hair!! hahaha

  • @EvidenceMinistries I guess Jesus didn`t call to Jehovah in prayer, because he used the term Father.....I didn`t call my father Joe (his name) I called him dad.

  • @EvidenceMinistries go to plasms 83:18

    had it ever occured to You that devil is running the world behind the scenes? you see him everywhere, via media, the government, the catholic church, and the over all decline in moral values of humans throughout the years.

    the name YHWH appears in the bible around 7000 times in the original text, later to be replaced with GOD.

    everyone was a given a name. we even give our pets names.. why cant GOD , the sovereign lord of the universe have one.

  • @EvidenceMinistries yes he did, but church has had a "new" biple since the beginning of 20th century and they have removed the name. so that version of biple doesn't include the name, but the original did.

  • @darrenrustyp They dont want any accountability and to most peeps, Jesus is still a babe in a manger as we see when every Christmas season arrives. Most people have no knowledge of what Jesus is doing now or even care to have. Some do, but it's a minority these days. Society has become so irreligious and secular oriented.

  • @paradiseregain

    Why would you try to mislead people into believing Jesus is a babe in a manger? Are you on Qualudes?

  • No, but I think you could be - thinking you can bring down Jehovah Gods organization here on earth. No one can touch it, least of all you.

  • @paradiseregain

    Actually, a month later from the time you made this comment, I have prevented at least 25 people that I know of from becoming part of this secret society, and helped at least ten more out of it. How many have you recruited in the past month? =)

  • @darrenrustyp

    Look at my number of subscribers and how many views my videos get. Who's the one not going to the people?

  • @SupremePenquinTone, the Almighty God chose to reveal His name i.e.His charater, presence, acts and deeds thru the Jewish people and most especially thru the manifestation of Mashiach Yeshua. In fact, the scriptures make it clear that the name of Yeshua is so vital that we are told that there is no other name by means of which it is necessary for us to be saved (Acts 4:12)

  • Uhmmm

  • Wow, this must be a trick question for some folks but for the sake of knowledge and I hope, understanding, I will answer it for you, Jesus simply called God, Abba, Father. In my personnal study of the Word, I've not seen a scripture where Jesus called God, Jehovah. But I could be wrong of course.

  • Even people who don't believe in the Bible recognize that the name used by the Hebrews for God is "Jehovah".

    If you disagree then you're supporting Jewish myth and you're refuting what it says in Biblical scroll about 7,000 times.

  • Comment removed

  • This is a very very relevant question for JW's who are deciding on whether to take the red pill or the blue pill.....

    Every JW knows that when their elders and others get on the platform to say their prayers at meetings, not only do they drone on about their leaders in Brooklyn, something Christ never did, but more importantly they use Jehober over and over and over again! It is sickening repetition without purpose. It is like talking to your friend and saying "Bill" every 4 or 5 words.

  • Why would Jesus refer to him as "Jehovah" when that was his father?

    Do you address your father by his first name or do you say "dad" or "father"?

  • @SupremePenguinTone

    No I do not and therefore I do not refer to my heavenly father by his personal name either.

    Excellent question EvidenceMinistries

  • So God told us his name for fun?

    He told us his name for a reason.

    You think the original scrolls that people like Moses wrote put "Jehovah" in for fun? Or they could use it but we can't?

    And who gave the Church authority to remove anything from the Bible?

    Revelation 22:18

    It helps to understand the Bible before speaking on it.

  • @penguin

    It would help you to understand how guilty NWT translators are of breaking that principle at Rev 22:18

    You would do well to investigate that fact for yourself.

    Here is a quote from the most respected Bible Scholar of the 20th Century, a scholar who is even recognized by the WT

    "I have never read any New Testament so badly translated as The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of The Greek Scriptures.... it is a distortion of the New Testament" "obsolete and incorrect"

    J.R. Mantey

  • Okay despite the fact that you believe in so many things contrary to the Bible you're telling me that I use a bad copy. You clearly worship idols as in your picture of the cross, which I'm sure you also have in your home & chuch and have prayed to, even though the Bible tells us at Exodus 20:2-5 ; Deuteronomy 4:25, 26 ; 1 John 5:21 ; Acts 17:24, 25 & 29 and so on. That is just one of the examples of the Church not properly understanding the Bible. I suppose those are "bad" translations as well

  • @SupremePenguinTone

    You claim to know a lot about my beliefs. I do not think we have ever talked. Are you somehow psychic?

    I do not say it is a bad translation, just about every reputable scholar says that for me.

    Since you are having such a difficult time with Google I will send you a link.

    By all means please continue with your in depth research,(Eyes Rolling)

    or recline back into your blatant ignorance. Whatever you think is best.

  • Just a tad bit of using my common sense + a little research helped me to come to my conclusion. I believe you're a Christian, you have friends on your "Friends list" with crosses in their pics... I don't need pen & paper to work out 2+2.

    "how guilty NWT translators are"

    Sorry did you just say you didn't say bad translation?

  • @SupremePenguinTone

    This is just too funny....sorry for being off point but it has to be mentioned. The Cross and Crown symbol that dhamamy has as his avatar on YT is the same that CT Russell had emblazoned on all early Zions Watchtower magazines and books!!! How can you be so ignorant of your own churches history???!!!

  • GOLLY GEE WILLACKERS I DIDN'T KNOW THAT?!?!?!?!

    WOAHHH

    Thanks for "Opening my eyes". Witnesses also used to smoke, until it was ruled out. Charles Russell also went under the title "Pastor Russell", which was also later ruled out. So it was only natural that while God was getting his work back under way it took time for people to shake off these devil made ideas.

  • though yes?

    Oh and I've never heard of that guy you named, I didn't even find anything on him on google. You sure this guy even exists? LOL

  • Jah's name is important. Jah is most high. Jah is all powerful. Jah ruins: Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Hebrew number 1943: hovah a ruin, disaster Original Word: הֹוָה Transliteration: hovah Phonetic Spelling: (ho-vaw') Short Definition: mischief Word Origin from havah Definition a ruin, disaster NASB Word Usage disaster (3).
  • HUH?

    Do a Google translate on "Jehovah" from Hebrew to English and look what pops up.

    Other than that, come correct next time bud.

  • @SupremePenguinTone

    "Jehovah is an English reading of , the most frequent form of the Tetragrammaton (transliterated as YHWH), the principal and personal name of God ..."

    Did you catch that? "English reading . . "

    That's because Israel was established as a state in 1948 by the masonic UN, the same masonic structure that the WTS began from and that coined the term Jehovah in 1611 by masonic King James II. 

    So yes, Jah Hovah (The eternal one ruins) is God's NATIONAL name as of 1948.

  • Haha but I never said it WASN'T English!

    DUH I know it's the English translation, and since we speak English, it's only logical that we pronounce it in OUR translation and not attempt to say it how Ancient Hebrews would have which is just pointless in 101 different ways.

    By the way we were using "Jehovah" before 1948, and Jews don't even use God's name, which is why the church don't use it either.

    Look at the video on my page about it.

  • @SupremePenguinTone

    I clearly stated the year 1611 in my last post.

    Can a person renounce his allegiance to the Watchtower Society and not face punishment by shunning? If not, does a person stay in the religion out of a desire to please Yahweh or a fear of being punished by a mind controlling, totalitarian cult?

  • Huh? I'm totally lost now...

    You've skipped from topic to topic.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh yes, Now I see what you're referring to.

    Yes, I intentionally redirected this conversation days ago after seeing you are not comprehending what I say regardless.

    I'll ask it again: Can a person renounce his allegiance to the WTS and not face a penalty by shunning? If not, is a person staying in the religion based on a desire to please Yahweh, or is it out of fear of being punished by a mind controlling, totalitarian cult?

    The question is rather quite simple to answer.

  • @propagandatechniques Yes you can leave, but you will ALWAYS be encouraged to come back. But if you don't then why would I (or anybody else) WANT to associate with somebody who has turned their back on the creator? How can I have friends who have turned their back on God?

  • Is the Watchtower Society your Creator? That's what I outwardly reject. Now, do you still wish to associate with me, considering you somehow equate the Watchtower Society to God? The fact is, if you could think on your own, you wouldn't need the Watchtower Society dictating to you who you can talk to and who you can't talk to. Imagine if a library began telling all its members to stop talking to you because you checked out a book from another library? Haha!! You'd probably go along with it.

  • @propagandatechniques What are you like? Trying to twist the persons words. You know who he was referring to but true to form you just like making people look like fools. I've been wondering if someone did that to you as a child and made you angry so now, you enjoy doing it to others to try and make them angry. A kind of neurotic revenge. God is not one to be mocked Craig, whatever a man is sowing this he will reap. And as an ex-elder of Jehovahs Witnesses, you should know that text by heart.

  • @paradiseregain

    Listen jay dubby, I'm not mocking God. I'm mocking you. Understand? =)

    Go get yourself a voice recorder and state emphatically into it: "I'm a dub ass!" =)

  • @propagandatechniques

    But dont use the voice recorder in the judicial committee meeting.....that would be wrong.....right propergander?

  • @Frankgerretti

    Exactly. "we don't worship Watchtower," but when the judicial committee begins, don't you dare record it. That's worse than blaspheming the watchtower god itself.

  • You mock me you mock God. I think you may be the dumbo for not remembering that one. James3:8-10 But the tongue, not one of mankind can get it tamed. An unruly injurious thing, it is full of death-dealing poison. With it we bless Jehovah, even [the] Father, and yet with it we curse men who have come into existence in the likeness of God. Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing.

  • No and I never said Watchtower Society was my creator. You obviously don't know what part the Societ play within my faith. But nice attempt to twist my words.

    The Watchtower Society do not dictate anything to me. They produce books and literature to help me learn.

    Are you an apostate? You sound like a class A example of one.

  • @SupremePenguinTone

    You're a Watchtower Worshiper, plain and simple. If the WTS handlers told you to go jump off a bridge, you'd do it. You're a pied piper rat. Your brain has been hijacked and you're angry because I'm free. Well, let me laugh at you. Hahahahahaha! You big jay dubby! That's your choice. Chew your friggin leg off the way I did and you won't be jealous of me anymore. =) I'm king of the apostates! I'm chief apostate number 1 and friggin proud of it! =)

  • You have no fear of God, do you?

  • @paradiseregain Dont confuse fear of God with being afraid of a publishing company that "writes many tiresome books" and makes "grandiose claims"! There is no reason to be afraid of a false prophet just because you revere IT as a god.

    Face it, with regards to all of these things that you dubby's argue about, that if Witchtower changed its position tomorrow, you would do so too. So dont confuse the fear of God with the fear of man.

  • I was referring to Craig, having no fear of Jehovah God himself and that goes for any apostate on here it seems, the brazenness is quite astounding but as I said, he & they stand on slippery ground. Yes, if the Watchtower changed its position I would do so too, oh yes! But it wont. I trust the brothers you see, and its been many years of a tried and tested faith I have so, that is where I come from. As for the Watchtower being a God? Err No. LOL. Thats just silly. Its like saying MacDs is one.

  • @paradiseregain

    Yes, if the WTS changed it's position, you would too. I understand. If they tell you to go to the death camps, you'll willingly comply.

  • Is that the Fema death camps you are referring to or the camps that you in your dreams will be taking us all to, all 7 million plus of us? If it's the former to which you refer, they are probably reserved for us anyway. But then Jehovah will intervene as you know - it would be like they would be touching his eyeball. Ever poked yr eye? You know how much it hurts right? Surely you remember that?

  • @paradiseregain

    Oh, I forgot about the eyeball thing. Yes, I remember Rutherford telling the dubs that back in the late 30s, just before Hitler started rounding them up and exterminating them for standing on streecorners praying for men to see. Yes, Jehovah reacted like getting touched in the eyeball. How many dead dubs later? Now, Rutherford will stand before Christ for his role in their deaths.

    Tell me more how Jehovah will intervene. I'm enjoying what you're saying.

  • @Frankgerretti

    Thank you. Next, paradiseregain will be accusing us of being the same person. =)

    But thanks just the same.

  • @paradiseregain

    Yes, I fear God.  I do not fear the Watchtower however. But, let me assure you, if you ever get hauled into a judicial committee meeting, you will learn what fear of man is all about - unless, of course, you break their rule and record them while they covertly frame you, before throwing you out of the congregation.

    I'm sure your elders wouldn't do this - but can that be said for all congregations? youtube search "deconstructing judicial committee". We will be friends.

  • My elders are imperfect men and are the sweetest bunch with the biggest hearts I have ever known - all they are interested in is protecting us from unsavoury influences. Shame you didnt remain one. Your zeal as an apostate denotes your courage. But then the Apostle Paul had the same attitude and he sanctioned the killing of Stephen as you know because he thought he was right, but then Jesus spoke 2 him. There is still time to stop all this nonsense Craig. If you dont, I fear 4 you, U may slip.

  • I think you need 2 focus on talking 2 people who have been disfellowshipped and returned then ask them, what made them return. That might help you understand what fear of God really is. He says in Proverbs, I also, for my part, shall laugh at YOUR own disaster, I shall mock when what YOU dread comes, when what YOU dread comes just like a storm, and YOUR own disaster gets here just like a storm wind, when distress and hard times come upon YOU.

  • @paradiseregain

    What made them return was a desire to see their families and friends again. It had nothing to do with fear of God. When you realize this, you will have gained great wisdom. =)

    I voluntarily left. Do you know why? I decided that anybody that would judge me for not agreeing with their wizard of oz god wasn't my friend to begin with. =)

  • The Wizard of Oz god you so disparagingly speak of is Jehovah, blasphemer! And I know quite a few who have returned and its Jehovah that they miss, his protection, his spirit, the freedom of speech with him. If I was the last person on earth I would still have Jehovah, and its him who I serve not men. The Watchtower is his tool - you dont believe that, so go your way and teach other doctrines, to others and leave me be. Enough of you!

  • @paradiseregain

    I'm sorry. I should've said, "wizard of watchtower god."

    I was referring to the secret, cleverly hidden men who hide behind the curtain of the Watchtower Society. They call themselves 'slave." I call them buffoons. I am little Toto that pulled away the curtain. Now you see what they really are. After you come to terms with this facvt, i'll still be your friend.

  • As long as you are an apostate, and continue to speak ill of Jesus, Jehovah and his earthly organization, in your dreams, Craig only in yr dreams will I ever be a friend of yours!

  • @paradiseregain

    Can you show me "earthly organization" in the bible please?

    This ain't over yet. When the truth turns on in your head like a lightbulb in the middle of a meeting, you'll be begging me for forgiveness for your ill treatment and persecution of me. Remember those words. You're going to live it.

  • @propagandatechniques - Your issue, is that you dont accept that the anointed and faithful and discreet slave are taking care of Jehovahs belongings here on earth. I do. That's where we differ.

  • @paradiseregain

    Correct. I also follow Jesus' words when it comes to ones professing to be anointed:

    Mt 24:5 - "Many for shall come in the name of me, saying: I am the Anointed; and many they shall deceive... Lu 21:8 Not therefore go you after them." (Emphatic Diaglott)

    Do you love Jesus paradiseregain?

  • How do the "fruits of your tree" look? Do they exhibit what the Bible teaches?

    If you have no respect for the faithful and discreet slave will you ever respect others who "take the lead among" us?

    Hebrews 13:17 = Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among YOU and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over YOUR souls as those who will render an account; that they may do this with joy and not with sighing, for this would be damaging to YOU.

  • @wchssexyangel05

    Have you met a faithful and discreet slave? When you do, introduce that person to me. I will respect that person. I have no respect for self appointed men who hide behind a curtain of secrecy as to their identity, pulling your puppet strings. You don't respect them by your mere disobedience to their orders not to speak to apostates on the internet. At least I disrepect what I don't believe in. Your FDS strawgod is my fairy tale.

  • And in addition, did you forget that everyone will have to be judged by Jehovah individually? So, have you lost all faith in Jehovah's perfect sense of justice that you think he will let people who sincerely just want to serve him as they think best to be misled forever IF the faithful and discreet slave were lying?

    As individuals, those who claim to be of the anointed, the same as us, have to answer to Jehovah at armageddon. So, if they are of the anointed or not that is between them.

  • Comment removed

  • @wchssexyangel05

    What would your FDS think of your YouTube handle? Don't get me wrong I kinda like it.

  • @paradiseregain .....and that delusion in the face of the evidence to the contrary, along with a nickle, will get you five cents.....

  • @paradiseregain

    I disagree with who you "accept" as the FDS - accept being the key word.

    Show me someone who is the FDS and I'll resepct that individual.

  • @paradiseregain

    You got a video with your name on it now. Be proud.

    watch?v=bigC2OUs2ac

  • At that time they will keep calling me, but I shall not answer; they will keep looking for me, but they will not find me, for the reason that they hated knowledge, and the fear of Jehovah they did not choose. They did not consent to my counsel; they disrespected all my reproof. So they will eat from the fruitage of their way, and they will be glutted with their own counsels.

  • For the renegading of the inexperienced ones is what will kill them, and the easygoingness of the stupid is what will destroy them. As for the one listening to me, he will reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calamity.- Thats taken from Proverbs 1:22-33. you would do well to heed it.

  • He is a SERIAL APOSTATE - an ex elder of 15 yrs I think whose plan is to bring down the Watchtower. LOL . Have a look at his channel - but BEWARE - he also uses subliminal images and techniques in his videos to control his followers and anyone who watches them so he can control them. He once said to me that he would shut my channel down on here, he is a bully. And yesterday he said cockily, "Unblock me from your channel" like he thinks I should. LOL BEWARE.

  • LOL!!!

    I knew it. Jeez they're so easy to spot. I wonder how many conventions he's attended with Anti-JW signs.

    How do you know he's an ex elder though?

    And what do you mean by subliminal images to control your mind?

  • Okay simple answer for you once again.say your name is david, if your kid spoke to you using the name david, would that show respect? no. and it don't happen, so thats why jesus called him father.

  • Who is 'everlasting father'? Jehova or Jesus?

  • If I may I would like to make another point. Luke 4:16-21 shows that Jesus read Isaiah 61:1,2. Now we all know that the King James bible has removed the the name of Jehovah over 6,000 times, only remaining 4 times. In the stroug's concordance of the the King James shows that all the places LORD all spelled in caps must be read Jehovah. So Jesus in the hebrews scriptures read YHWH Jehovah the name of His Father and our Father His God our God. John 20:17.

  • Well think of it like this. I have 5 sons none of them call me by my first name they say dad, father, or daddy, because of respect. Again it is clear when Jesus was praying to his Father john 17:6,11,26 he taught his disciples his Fathers name Jehovah.Look up Rev 19:1,3,4 all those in heaven use the name Jehovah Alleluia translated praise ye Jah (Jah Jehovah) page 10 reference #239 greek dictionary strong's exhaustive concordance of the K.J bible. Look it up.

  • he says Father.

  • jehovah is the translation from the hebrew yahweh. look it up

  • since in the bible yhwh it could be any number of ways to pronounce it cause guess what there are no vowels! How do you know how to add the certain vowels to the name? You could be wrong and to base your whole religion on a guess is really stupid! If god wanted you to pronounce his name he would have put vowels in the bible! It makes JW really stupid so i cannot take anything they say seriously!

  • Many translators put in their own spin when translating the Bible and it has become popular not to use God's personal name, Jehovah (in English). We don't know the exact pronunciation of any of the names and places mentioned in the Bible, they have long been lost, so their reasoning is faulty. In many cases Jehovah's name is deleted because it makes it easier to explain the false teaching of the trinity. De-personalize God and put Jesus in his place. Sad, but true.

    It is the english trans

  • quite the opposite of what you say. We DO know the pronunciations of every name and places mentioned in the bible! There is no De-personalizing of God in order to explain trinity. One can learn the language of the bible it is called hebrew. It is alive and people in Israel and all over the world learn the bible in its original language and pronunciations. I have read the bible in hebrew and can assure you there is no vowels for God. It was always like that and you can make up any pronunciation

  • It is informal for a son to call his father by his first name. A loving son calls his father: Dad, Father, Pops and so forth. This is why you won't find Jesus calling his father by his name, Jehovah.

  • still no one knows gods real name so he would not have called god jehova thats not his real name...

  • @cherkas009 His name in hebrew is YHWH pronounced Yahweh. Its in the bible, its one of the most common words in the bible I believe.

    p.s The reason we call him by his name is because it is respectful to use his given name. You dont say "oh hi you"

  • kay, well, in john 17 jesus is praying to jehovah God, if jesus was god, who would he be praying too? not him self cuz there wouldnt be anybody to answer his prayers

  • if you just wanted to find jehovahs name in the bible you can use your king james version and find his name in palms 83:18

  • Matthew 26: 36-39

    Sit down here while I go over there and pray. And taking along Peter and the two sons of Zeb′e·dee, he started to be grieved and to be sorely troubled. Then he said to them: My soul is deeply grieved, even to death. Stay here and keep on the watch with me. And going a little way forward, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. Yet, not as I will, but as you will.

  • Matt 6:9 "After this manner therefore pray ye. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."

    If you are referring to Jesus using the name Jehovah, that name is English as did not come about until English translators.

    And since Jehovah is Jesus' father, just like us, he would not call his father by his personal name. But as the prayer showed, sanctifying the name of his father was important or he would not have said "Hallowed be thy name."

  • as much as I usualy disagree with you sklwmetti this is one area I have to agree with you on.

  • You should agree with me on everything since I am right.

    Talent granted to me by God.

  • I did not grant you that talent.

  • I doubt they'd be able to because it would make no sense for Jesus to address Himself in prayer.
