Then why don't jws use all those names? Why are they just stuck on that one rendering of YHWH?
Their name will be their downfall.....

If anybody is interested in the article, "The Pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton from a Historico-Linguistic Perspective," PM me with an e-mail address and I'll send it to you. As to the different pronunciations, it levels the playing field somewhat.

I never fully understood the claim about the Greek scriptures not containing the "name" and it being inserted erroneously by the society but now I do.
Thank you

JHVH.... There is no "J" or "V" in Hebrew. YHWH is the way to go, IMO. There are issues when you translate, so making too big of a fuss is silly. The real issue for me is the intellectual dishonesty of the WTBTS. Also, the Fact that Jehovah is used as a brand name. Here is a very recent example:

Wasnt the first recorded name Elohim? I'm wondering why they did not just stick with this name?

villagegirl- no I don't trust jews of jesus day ,obviously they were extremely corrupt and according to what I've seen they tried to hide the name from the common people , jesus made it known to all people once again . Those names you came up with are not actual names they are titles . Exodus 6;3 is the first point at which YHWH tells moses his actual name .

Snare - great post
what those who have been here longer, and have learnt all of these things, don't realise.
is us newer one's have all these things to learn and grasp and make sense of, there have been a lot of changes for us, mentally, emotionally and physically.
It needs to be done slowly, it is a huge load to take on at first, until we get into 'sorting' things out.
for me, trying to research this, and get info on it, correct info, was a nightmare.
finally, after much digging and assistance, I found the articles and information I needed, to digest, slowly and adjust everything I once knew and believed.
JHWH, JHVH or YHWH Or YHVH ...so much info, and boy, it was hard going.
