    Yesterday while driving back from Christmas shopping, I saw a large bus like one of those tour buses, it said something on the side but it was in Spanish, but I saw that it said Jehovah, I asked my wife to translate and she said its says: " Find Jehovah while you still can" I was like what the hell??? Spanish congergation is really out there with their own bus and all.

    You would figure that if he/she were God that he/her couldn't get himself/herself lost!

    I've noticed alot of Spanish churches around here in SoCal use Jehovah and have nothing to do with the JWs. Maybe some "iglesia de dios pentecostal". At my company there are a few tenants that are churches with "Jehova" in their name. When I first noticed, I told my mom they could be a breakout movement. hehehehe... I was just stirring crap.

    Jehová is still popular among Spanish-speaking American Evangelicals. In the 1995 revision of the Reina-Valera Bible the UBS had to maintain it at popular demand. Hence it doesn't work as a sectarian label quite as well as in English (or French).

    I saw a scripture on a bus bench in English. I forget the scripture, but it was OT.
    The Spanish translation was there also. It used the word "Jehova" where the OT used GOD.

    Maybe they are easier about using it in many Spanish Churches- like JESUS.

    Actually, it can be a talking point with some JWs who think the WTS is the only organization that uses "Jehovah." Check infospace and you will find quite a few churches with "Jehovah" in their name.

    I stopped to talk to a lady once in my city that had a huge placard that mentioned Jehovah among other things--I thought she was a disgruntled exJW. After talking to her, she was not a Witness at all but was very upset with her church, I don't remember the name of her church.

    My father in law is a pastor of a spanish church. They frequently use the name Jehovah. At the church I go to they use the name less frequently. But there is a song they have which always cracks me up.... the chorus goes:

    There is no God like Jehovah (repeat 12 times!)
