    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    Hi there, RJM. Not sure what you mean about first experience of belief in God. I was brought up in the Jewish religion and did not believe in anything else, but in a way you're right. As a Jew I had no concept of God although sometimes I would pray. Yes, I was drowning. When I learned about God...

    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    As a note, I used to close the door on Jehovah's Witnesses, would not listen to them at all -- until there was a turn in life. A minister from a church told me that faith was one of the gifts of the spirit, and only God could give me this gift. At the time I did not believe in God so wondered...

    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    Hello. Just to let you know, I don't think I will rule with Christ in heaven. I believe and look forward to living forever on this earth under the rulership of God's kingdom. That includes Jesus and those who will be in heaven with him. I expect and hope to be on the earth. Hope that helps...

    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    I am interested in getting information from a source I trust. And which explains. It was not a proselytizing link, it was a link giving information about the divine name of God and how it is translated.

    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    'the Lord' is not a proper translation though. I AM THAT I AM describes what He is and -- what He will prove to be. That is in verse 13. Verse 14 is said in some Bibles this way: "God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors--the God of Abraham...

    Why? If you were the translator, what would you put instead?

    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    @RJM - OK, what did you discern, if anything, from the previous statements in my post about Exodus 3:14 & 15? do all Bibles translate verses 14 & 15 the same way? And if not, why not, or don't you want to be bothered answering using reason?

    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    From what I understand, Exodus 3:14,15 are different, and some translations have the word LORD at Exodus 3:15, while others have Yahweh or Jehovah yet others have the word LORD there. For instance, Holman Christian Standard Bible God also said to Moses, “Say this to the Israelites: Yahweh, the...

    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    In fact, before I studied with Jehovah's Witnesses, I didn't even know what the word LORD was the substitute for.

    I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

    Hi. I used to slam the door on Jehovah's Witnesses. I didn't believe in God anyway, but I thought they were fanatics. Later I needed help that I believed only God could give me, if He existed. And so I finally prayed. And someone came to my door. I argued with them, but she said something that I...
