"The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous runs and is given protection. The valuable things of the rich are his strong town, and they are like a protective wall in his imagination." (Pro. 18:10,11)

What achtung said below! Thanks brother.
Deof, I know my grammar is not great I said that in my other writings. And I know there are many faithless people out here who will not believe no matter what we say or how good or poorly it is said. But hopefully there is those who will get the sense of things said. If they have a honest heart it will make sense to them. And those are the ones we look for, wherever they might be, here or at home etc.

As poor as my grammar might be, see what the people who go by that name did do for our free nations. They trusted that God with that name!

The literal name "Jehovah" is not some magical incantation when uttered aloud, and its primary "salvation" concerns one's eternal life.
However, a person cannot continue to disrespect God, or God's Word the bible, or the Divine Name of God either.
There is protection within true worship under the Christ, and that includes the fact that a true worshipper must use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".
(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth
(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Regarding The Fools' comment:
God did not cause the accident
Ecclesiastes 9:11 “...time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all.”
James 1:13 When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.
He did not die because of God. He died because he was an imperfect human.
Romans 5:12 That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.
“Through his Word, Jehovah provides divine guidance that protects his people. Spirituality and Bible knowledge can impart good judgment and soundness of mind to us, which can help us to avoid unnecessary mistakes and to make wise decisions. (Psalm 38:4; Proverbs 3:21; 22:3) For example, heeding the Bible's advice on sexual morality, greed, anger, and violence has spared Christians from many calamities. Also, by not having intimate association with bad people, we are less likely to be where calamity may strike—in the wrong place at the wrong time. (Psalm 26:4, 5; Proverbs 4:14) Those who live by Bible principles enjoy a superior way of life, often resulting in better mental and physical health.
Most comforting is the knowledge that even if God allows bad things to happen, he will provide his worshipers with the necessary strength so that they can bear it. The apostle Paul assures us: "God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for you to be able to endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13) The Bible also promises "power beyond what is normal" to help us endure calamities.—2 Corinthians 4:7.”

First, even though I am agreement with you, I disagree with the way you're going about it. For those who don't believe in the truthfulness of the bible, this isn't going to be a very convincing argument.
Second, the grammar displayed by the question is atrocious. While I realize that belief in God is going to look foolish to most that don't believe anyway, there's no reason to make that belief an even easier target.

i'm no longer positive no matter if "Jehovah's Witnesses United" is a company-approved internet web site, even if the Jehovah's Witnesses who guard that web site do use this mind-set to describe John 20:28: "because of that straightforward actuality, some students have recognized that this possibly replaced into an exclamation somewhat than an confirmation that Jesus replaced into the Almighty God. This end isn't without difficulty seen in translations into English and many different languages that do not have any universal case endings that make it uncomplicated to distinguish the nominative, dative, vocative accusative et al. If I stated you day after today and stated to you: 'My God, is that you Ed Marks?', ought to that be sufficient evidence on condition that I 'stated to you' in clean words 'My God' that i replaced into acknowledging that you've been a God--and not in any respect in straightforward words that yet MY God?" even if, contained in the Greek, this verse reads somewhat different than the translation, "My Lord and my God!" It reads: ???????? ????? ??? ????? ???? ((( ? ?????? ??? ??? ? ???? ???))) "The Lord of me and the God of me!" How did Jesus reply? "because you've seen Me, have you ever believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

I celebrate your faith. It makes you strong knowing that God is real and he wants to help you. Things are not meant to be security. Security alarms are for security. Things are meant to comfort you and give you hope that things can be better or that all is not lost when the world is crashing in around you. There are just too many people putting faith in God to cure them or save their loved one and nothing happens for me to believe that God always saves. I'm happens when he does, however.

Jesus is the only "name" that will save you, my friend. I assume you are trying to put a Jehovah Witness slant to God's true message.... He sent Himself as Jesus, the Son, to save us... only God Himself could have saved us from our sin and praise God He did....
The strong tower idea is phoney.... let God live inside you by His Holy Spirit... just trust in Jesus and you will understand and see His true power through the Holy Spirit
May God guide all who are searching.... Seek Me with all your heart and Ye shall find Me....

Human values are no different from Godly things. However,they are not for saving us from crisis, but to be followed as a means for peaceful co existence.
If you pray or not or even if you are a non believer HE will save if it is HIS will.

Just using God's name dont save you ,either.You must confess your sins ,accept Jesus as your own personal savior,& confess with thy mouth that He was crucified,was buried,and was resurectted on the third day,

When a friend of my brother's was in a car accident, the doctors used their "things"- medicine- to try and save him. God just stood back and let him die. So who do I have faith in? I'll go with the doctors and their material possesions.
