Yeshua gave instruction as to how baptism should take place. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

@Arauna  This is what i wrote. That Yeshua / Jesus gave the instruction, and that instruction was to baptise in the name of the Father (YHWH / Yehovah) , the Son (Yeshua / Jesus) and the Holy spirit.  But the JW Org does not do this, so they are not following the direct instruction form Yeshua / Jesus.  That is fact, and cannot be sensibly denied.

Your question is a based on TWO blatantly false assumptions and is a thinly disguised insult that legitimately deserves no response other than strong condemnation of the thought processes that spawned

1. Mass 2. Black Mass You have presented no evidence to stand on…. roughly the equivalent of stating that the horse Mr. Ed lives on Mars. Two more False assumptions…. Unless you can provide

According to worldly standards, not.  BUT, most of these people have had a life-long career in serving only Jehovah - only focused on the spiritual things and the things above.  It is very hard to rem

When I was baptized, I recall I was baptized in the name of all three -  and we use the names of all three.  You seem to only use Yeshua.

I teach YHWH as Almighty God, and Yeshua / Jesus as the Son of God. 

Drop the ‘Jesus’ because the name is definitely anglicized and you offend him when you say it. 

Or join the ranks of reasonable people, acknowledge that names adapt when translated into different languages, and say ‘Jehovah.’

Don’t get mad, but that was the practice of WTS in prehistory. :))

I do not get mad. I just do not like hate-OCD when there is evidence of it. And I usually show my distaste for it..... it gives a bad taste in the mouth,  like wormwood.

What to you mean by pre-history.....

You sound just like an Elder, giving orders. The GB have you brainwashed for sure. 

You and @Arauna  seem to think that i should be concerned with your viewpoints. 

And you speak for Yeshua do you ? You definitely are GB material.  I would not dare to speak on behalf of God's Son, to pretend to know what would offend Him.  

As for using the fake name for YHWH. Surely that would be wrong as my Christian conscience does not agree with it.  It would be following the words of men, not the word of God through Christ.  Arauna has said that people should follow their conscience, and she is right. But it seems you would rather I follow your GB and it's immoral Org.

We do not care what you think. I only answer for the benefit of others and read their comments.

Your rejection is obvious but sometimes you try to hide it.  That is why I do not trust you at all.

Do you know what rice-Christians are? 

Yes, JWs in disguise.  Using the olde propaganda "You will not survive Armageddon if you are not a baptised JW " 

Then when people become baptised JWs.  "Don't forget to put your money in the donation boxes provided"

The Watchtower / JW Org has millions of dollars stashed away.  Not for profit Org ? 

No ? But plenty of profit in JW Real Estate in the USA and in UK. 

Arauna you are blind because you want to be blind.

    • In my perspective, when the Smithsonian Magazine covers a topic, I am inclined to trust their expertise. As for the shadows here, I see no benefit in entertaining irrational ideas from others. Let them hold onto their own beliefs. We shouldn't further enable their self-deception and misleading of the public.  
    • Hey Self! 🤣I came across this interesting conspiracy theory. There are scholars who firmly believe in the authenticity of those artifacts. I value having conversations with myself. The suggestion of a mentally ill person has led to the most obscure manifestation of a group of sorrowful individuals. 😁
    • I have considered all of their arguments. Some even apply VAT 4956 to their scenarios, which is acceptable. Anyone can use secular evidence if they genuinely seek understanding. Nonetheless, whether drawing from scripture or secular history, 607 is a plausible timeframe to believe in. People often misuse words like "destruction", "devastation", and "desolation" in an inconsistent manner, similar to words like "besiege", "destroy", and "sack". When these terms are misapplied to man-made events, they lose their true meaning. This is why with past historians, the have labeled it as follows: First Capture of Jerusalem 606 BC Second Capture of Jerusalem 598 BC Third Capture of Jerusalem 587 BC Without taking into account anything else.  Regarding the second account, if we solely rely on secular chronology, the ancient scribes made military adaptations to align with the events recorded in the Babylonian Chronicles. However, the question arises: Can we consider this adaptation as accurate?  Scribes sought to include military components in their stories rather than focusing solely on biblical aspects. Similarly, astronomers, who were also scholars, made their observations at the king's request to divine omens, rather than to understand the plight of the Jewish people. Regarding the third capture, we can only speculate because there are no definitive tablets like the Babylonian chronicles that state 598. It is possible that before the great tribulation, Satan will have influenced someone to forge more Babylonian chronicles in order to discredit the truth and present false evidence from the British Museum, claiming that the secular view was right all along. This could include documents supposedly translated after being found in 1935, while others were found in the 1800s. The Jewish antiquities authorities have acknowledged the discovery of forged items, while the British Museum has not made similar acknowledgments. It is evident that the British Museum has been compelled to confess to having looted or stolen artifacts which they are unwilling to return. Consequently, I find it difficult to place my trust in the hands of those who engage in such activities. One of the most notable instances of deception concerning Jewish antiquities was the widely known case of the ossuary belonging to James, the brother of Jesus. I was astonished by the judge's inexplicable justification for acquittal, as it was evident that his primary concern was preserving the reputation of the Jewish nation, rather than unearthing the truth behind the fraudulent artifact. The judge before even acknowledged it. "In his decision, the judge was careful to say his acquittal of Golan did not mean the artifacts were necessarily genuine, only that the prosecution had failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Golan had faked them." The burden of proof is essential. This individual not only forged the "Jehoash Tablet," but also cannot be retried for his deceit. Why are they so insistent on its authenticity? To support their narrative about the first temple of Jerusalem. Anything to appease the public, and deceive God. But then again, after the Exodus, when did they truly please God? So, when it comes to secular history, it's like a game of cat and mouse.  
    • I'm not bothered by being singled out, as you seem to be accustomed to defending and protecting yourselves, but it's a good idea to keep your dog on a leash. Speaking of which, in a different thread, TTH mentioned that it would be great if everyone here shared their life stories. As both of you are the librarians here, I kindly ask you to minimize any signs of intimidation or insincerity. It is you people who need to be "banned" here. However, it is quite evident that you hold a negative influence, which God recognizes, therefore you are banned from your own conscience in His eyes.
