The best encouragement comes directly from reading the Scriptures. Personal fellowship also has an important role in true worship, but the internet is certainly *NOT* the place for true Christians to find good association.
(Hebrews 10:24,25) And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.

WE'RE NOT A CULT OR A SECT. WE BELIEVE ONLY IN JEHOVAH, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.
"Jehovah" (or Yahweh) is a personal name and refers to the almighty God and Creator of the universe. This is shown at Psalm 83:18, according to the King James version of the Bible: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."

If Jehovah is not God's name in English, then my English dictionaries are wrong. Including Strongs Dictionary.
3068 Yhovah yeh-ho-vaw' from 1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God:--Jehovah, the Lord.
If Jehovah is not God's name in English, then why do 100's of bibles use this name?
If Jehovah is not God's name in English, then Jesus, Jeremiah, Jehu, must not be names in the English bible either.
If Jehovah is not God's name in English, then why is Jehova God's name in Spanish.
Jehovah is God's name in English, just as Jehova is God's name in Spanish, just as Yahweh is God's name in Hebrew.

By the way, "Jehovah" is NOT the name of God, but an English corruption of the Hebrew written form. The Hebrews considered God's name to be too holy to be written down, so they used what is called the tetragrammaton - YHWH with no vowels, to represent the name of God.
English translators, attempting to come up with a way to pronounce the word added the vowels and eventually ended up with Jehovah. Even though most Bible scholars acknowledge that this really isn't accurate, it has survived through common usage.
Jehovah's Witnesses are another group that claims exculsive knowledge that the rest of us have somehow lost. However, their "truth" has certainly evolved over the years.

The JWs are a non-Christian cult that teaches against God's Word.
On the cross, Jesus said 'it is finished', but Joseph Smith said it wasn't finished, and that calls Jesus a liar.
