Why doesn't everyone follow Jehovah?

Because, unfortunately, not everyone truly knows Jehovah.

Some still don't know that God's personal name is "Yahweh' in Hebrew or 'Jehovah' in English. Many Bibles uphold the terrible tradition of removing and replacing God's name with titles such as "LORD" or "GOD". So people may be surprised when they see God's name in their Bibles.

And some people believe in the Trinity (despite it not being a Bible teaching) because it may have been a life-long, deeply ingrained belief or tradition.

See: "How Did the Trinity Doctrine Develop?"

The Bible encourages us to get to know Jehovah God closely. In fact, Jesus said: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." (John 17:3)

Once people do come to know Jehovah God, they will see that "God is love" (1 John 4:8). And that God "loves righteousness and justice". (Psalm 33:5)

Why doesn't everyone follow Zeus?

Why doesn't everyone follow Thor?

Why doesn't everyone follow Ra?

There's just as much evidence for their existence.

Some people base their beliefs on logic and fact, rather than nice fantasies that suit them. Would I like there to be an all-loving God that sends us to heaven? Sure. But any rational person can see that there is no valid reason to believe in such a being.

Thanks for that information and 3 great scriptures as well. I think one of the reasons is that people are NOT understanding the difference between Jehovah the ALMIGHTY and Jesus Christ HIS Son.

Something to think about Spiritually:

Jesus’ Position in Heaven

A few hours after this prayer, Jesus was executed. But he was not dead for long—only from Friday afternoon till Sunday morning. (Matthew 27:57–28:6) “This Jesus God resurrected,” the apostle Peter reports, “of which fact we are all witnesses.” (Acts 2:31, 32) Could Jesus have resurrected himself? No, according to the Bible, the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) “The only true God,” Jesus’ heavenly Father, resurrected his Son.—Acts 2:32; 10:40.

A short time afterward, Jesus’ disciple Stephen was killed by religious persecutors. As they were about to stone him, Stephen was granted a vision. He stated: “Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.” (Acts 7:56) Jesus, “the Son of man,” was thus seen by Stephen in a role supportive to God in heaven—“at God’s right hand”—even as he had been ‘alongside God’ before he came to earth.—John 17:5.

In the UK Jehovah's Witnesses gave Jehovah a bad name by going round chapping peoples doors all weekend trying to convert them. In all fairness they had good intentions, but people don't like to be told that they are wrong, it makes them feel stupid and then they shut out Jehovah in defence, never to be considered.

Lots of people follow Jehovah it is the false prophets of the Watchtower Society that the faithful followers of Jehovah avoid.

They are a cult

I know I was one for 22 years

My Question is why don't you follow Jehovah and leave behind the group of men in Brooklyn?

You answered the question pretty well. It's Satans wish to move people away from the true God. It started in the Garden of Eden.Satan who is the chief adversary of Jehovah God and of all who worship the true God. The name Satan was given to him because of his becoming a resister of Jehovah. Satan is also known as the Devil, because he is the foremost slanderer of God. Satan is described as the original serpent, evidently because of his using a serpent in Eden to deceive Eve, and for this reason “serpent” came to signify “deceiver.” In the book of Revelation, the symbolism of a devouring dragon is also applied to Satan.

Jesus is God.

Colossians 1:16

SDA

2 Corinthians 4:4 American King James Version

In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine to them

You misquoted Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10. These verses do not support what you were starting, nor does the rest of the Bible. God does send people to hell, who reject Him. Yehoshua (Jesus) is Yehowah in human flesh. God has become our salvation.

When Yeshua (Jesus) died on the cross, Pilate had the words "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." I believe in Hebrew that would read Yeshua Ha'Netzeret V'mlech Ha'Yehudim. Yeshua is Jesus (Gk), Ha'Netzeret is "of Nazareth, V'mlech is "the King" and Yehudim is from Yehuda or of Judah, the tribe from which Yeshua descended. By taking the first letters of each of these four words we get Y-H-V-H, or YHVH, the tetragrammaton of Y_hw_h or Y_hv_H (Yahweh). On the cross Jesus said to the Jewish believers, the first church was practically ALL Jewish, except for a few proselytes and a few Gentile believers. On the cross, Jesus said "I love you!" in a big way.
