Gosh, even Indiana Jones used it!
I remember that well.
Jehovah is a recognized English version of YHWH.
Don't strawman.
It was EXTREMELY unused.
Rutherford grabbed it as a brand, pure and simple.

NWT is soooo inaccurate....
by iwasblind inhi this is for the lurkers.. please start reading from another translation and use tools like www.biblehub.com to verify the differences you find.. biblehub has an interlinear and a strongs concordance and heaps of dictionaries and commentaries.. you don't have to be a translator but you can clearly see how the watchtower bible and tract society has changed the bible to devalue jesus, to support their idea of a paradise earth hope for christians and many other false doctrines.. i could never understand why the jw's where attacked when they chose to translate the bible - now i know.. seriously people, there are a lot smarter people than me on this forum and heaps of research.

don't be afraid of the truth!.

"Re: the origin of the word Jehovah that was in the Aid book - why did WTS remove that important piece of history from the Insight book"?
You mean that it was coined by some Catholic monk? I have no idea, I would have left it there.Part of WTS' policy of both rewriting and obscuring their history.
Rutherford took a page out of his contemporary's "branding" strategy (Hitler - moustache, and swastika flag design).
Rutherford's masterpiece was grabbing the obscure, seldom-used word Jehovah, and definitively stating that this was God's name.
The next critical step was also a masterpiece - "Jehovah's organization."
"wait on Jehovah"
"jehovah's elders"
"leave it in Jehovah's hands"
"jehovah's way"
"jehovah's servants"
"trust in Jehovah"
"rely on Jehovah"
Brilliant, and appalling.

Reminds me an interior BC town (10k pop.).
Front-page news story - police are very concerned about the increase of double-parking downtown.

That clearly indicates that Jesus was not made , so could not be an angel .By adding the word " other " they are lumping Jesus in with created things .
WTS used to boast about Russell's study methods, which were to have NO PRECONCEIVED IDEAS, and to let the Bible speak for itself.
The NWT was created because of the preconceived ideas affecting all other translations.
( WT June 1, 1969 However, at times translators betray unfaithfulness to the original text. )
It is therefore interesting following the evolution of WTS manipulation, esp. with the word [other] in Colossians, blithely stating that the word "other" should be inserted to make the verses make sense - but, at least, they had a disclaimer with words in [ ] that were added by Freddy.
The 2013 NWT however just disposes of the [ ] and leaves the words stand alone as though they were part of the original Greek.

Watch Tower Society owns web domains: www.MT2414.com and www.PS8318.com
by Gilgamesh in(my apologies if this was already discussed somewhere else.).
i noticed that the domain www.mt2414.com was taken, and when i tested it, it was a mirror of the log in portion of the www.jw.org site, where you can look up assemblies, kingdom halls, and make either one time or recurring donations.
so i created an account there (you can use fake form information as long as it's a real email address for email verification).

Jehovah's people are the happiest people on earth!
by Coded Logic inso this afternoon my roommate and i decided to go grab some dinner from the local chipotle and, as we live only a short distance from the franchise, we decided it was a good idea to walk.
little did i know that the j-dubs district convention here in sacramento was just getting out (the auditorium is literally smack in the middle of downtown and its attendees have to park in garages scattered a couple blocks away in every direction) so men in cheap suits and women in unflattering dress' were walking all over the place as though someone had antagonized their ungodly ant hill.
and, for sacramento, this of course is the complete opposite of the normative - that is to say, our streets are usually filled with well dressed, immaculately groomed, 'i know exactly where i'm going' government officials that monopolize the state capitol m-f. .

Public Prayers - Scriptural?
by OverlappingGeneralizations insomething that has always been a pet peeve of mine- public prayers.

i know many churches (along with the jws) do it.

“your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (Mathew 6:8)
Also, whatever it is that YOU ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in connection with the Son. If YOU ask anything in my name, I will do it.
And, then the caveat:
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us.
Tsk, tsk - wasn't God's will.

My yoke is easy and my burden is light, unless you're a JW than you will have many strange complicated rules
by adjusted knowledge inthere is this jw husband and wife i knew from the 80's when i was a child.
they got a divorce a few years ago and never remarried.
they are older now and unable to afford to live on their own.

Saw a similar post.
Very bizarre thinking - not "scripturally" divorced, but must remain "scripturally" apart.
What an f'd up bunch.

I also liked the United in Worship book.
(The spine of that book is only too true in French, Spanish, etc.)
