One does not tell someone, bribe someone, forcibly coerce someone, lie to someone to join a religious organisation like Jehovah's Witnesses, they need to want to do of their own volition. So I reject your claims, its self evident that you did not think about it.
Yes. I am 99.99% sure that my child wouldn't want to join the JWs in any way, however he may well want to try canoeing.
One is boring the other is fun.
I could maybe get him to join if I lied to him about the organization... but that just wouldn't be helpful.
Yeah, I did think about it.
I was twenty three when I started associating with Jehovahs Witnessses and I did so through my own volition. Its the best decision I ever made. I was received as family.

Originally posted by Rajk999God is not a name, its a description and a title so we shall ask you once again was making Gods name known important to Jesus. Fourth time asking.
Jesus never called the Father by any other name. He referred to the Father as God. That was good enough for Jesus and its good enough for me.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieMaking the name God of Israel, the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob, was important to Jesus. Any other name for God is irrelevant because Jesus never used any other name.

You quoted Ecclesiastes 12:12 earlier on this thread. What did you want to discuss with reference to it?
