    I heard an interesting bit of speculation that yah—weh is the sound of breathing in and out. God is spirit.

    i undestood the hebrew written language was read from right to left..so YHWH should be read as HWHY---so could be pronounced hughieee ( HUWEE )

    just about as pointless as the other way to say it.

    I found this thread after becoming suspicious about this paper where Gertoux supports a 475 BCE date for the ascension of Artaxerxes in 475 BCE (the JW date) rather than the more conventional 465 BCE.

    My hunch was that he is a JW and this thread pretty much confirms it.
