In most of my Bible classes and in my college theology studies, the word Jehovah has been called an artificial construct and blatant mistranslation of ancient Hebrew and Aramaic text. I understand however, that the name Jehovah is considered the sacred name of God to the Witness community and they are required to call God as Jehovah (the name of God). Please help me to understand this; how can a mistranslated (human mistake) word be sacred and holy like that? I am looking for serious enlightenment, and am not in any way attacking Jehovah's Witnesses, so please, intelligent, kind-spirited answers!

Does it bother them that people believe in a God. Are they afraid that they would have to ask forgiveness or is their wisdom just foolishness. Just want all non believers to know we love you. God bless you all.
Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life eternal!

What is it called when you sell something of your own to buy someone else a gift for something they have. But they sold the thing that your gift was for, to buy you something for the thing you sold to buy their present?

Shouldn't I just speak to God on my own terms... rather than obeying his words to somebody else?

If the person who wrote the Bible for God, could understand God's words... how could it be impossible for me to have my own understanding?

Just looking for thoughts here. I won't make decisions based solely on answers.
I LOVE my job. I work, in various capacities, for a large tax and financial services company. I do taxes, manage an office, and work with every new student and first-year employee for a 17 office district. I frequently work 'off the clock' answering tax questions (both in real life and online in Y!A), scheduling interviews, tutoring students, etc. But I do it with a happy heart, knowing I am helping someone. I am very dedicated to the company I work for as well. I feel that I am very blessed to enjoy going to work (almost) every day.
The problem? I am so involved with my job that I can't find time to study my chosen spiritual path as much as I would like. Cutting back my hours and not working at home seems like the easy answer, but it's very hard since I care so much about the work. The question is - should I quit my job and find one that I'm not passionate about, or do you see some other compromise?

Someone once said that the map is not the territory. It conveys information about the territory. It's a symbol about a specific reality. It's valid as a symbol, but it's not the reality. To study and memorize the map will never equal the actual experience of going to that place.
To think it is....well, you get my point.
By the same token, is 'God' as commonly understood a symbol for something else?
Are people confusing the map and the territory, so to speak? How can I know the difference? How can I go there and experience it first-hand?
What can you tell me?

I recently answered a question about how to tell a child they are born sinners. I answered that I didn't believe they were, but it has continued to bother me. Does it mean that all children are born with the potential to become sinners, or does it mean that a baby who dies shortly after birth will go to Hell because it had somehow sinned? Like I've stated in my other religious beliefs question, I'm firm in my own religious beliefs and am just looking for information and understanding. Thanks!
