    growing up in the troof, my mom used to tell me that no one else in the universe had the name Jehovah. I remember her even recounting an experience where a catholic couple wanted to name/baptize their son Jehovah and the priest counselled against it

    now I see all sorts of people with the name Jehovah, on facebook, in the news and even in other languagues (the portuguese version Jeova)

    I see Jehobah is going to have to share his witnesses!

    In the first edition of the "Aid Book" Jehovah was the most popular version of the name of God in useage (in christendom) If christendom used the

    name Jehovah wouldnt they want to go for Yahweh ?? / as that is a more realistic pronunciation than Jehovah ("hebrew" never had j in their alphabet)

    Maybe you have seen yahweh ben yahweh ?? Witnessese of yahweh? Google them for information

    It's a catholic church invention. A roman catholic monk called raymundo martini started using it in a book he wrote.. Since it came from the whore babylon the great, that means that it is PAGAN, a false religious product. The admit this in the aid book.

    "Jehovah" is generally held to have been the invention of Pope Leo X.'s confessor, Peter Galatin ("De Arcanis Catholicæ Veritatis," 1518, folio xliii.)

    It`s a translation mistake made by a catholic monk in the 14th century.. Without the Catholics..The WBT$ would`nt have a name for thier God.. Or.. Their Cult,the Jehovah`s Witness`s.. The WBT$ needs to pucker up and give the Catholic`s a Big Kiss!! .............LOL!!...OUTLAW

    Interesting. I knew it was not the correct pronunciation, but I didn't know who "started" it.

    So I guess Jumpin Jehosaphat isn't from the Bible either? Life just gets too damn complicated.
