Why using Jehovah for God's name is as good as using Yahweh

by oppostate in

in another thread i wrote some notes about why using jehovah in english is as good as using yahweh.

i'm starting a discussion on this topic because it sounds quite ignorant to hear people talk of the monk who started using it in latin without really understanding why the monk did so.. the spanish dominican monk, raymundus martini, in 1270, didn't get hoodwinked by an old jewish superstition about pronouncing the divine name with the vowel points of another word.. 1. first the vowel points of adonay and jehovah cannot be the same for grammatical reasons.

you just can't use the same vowel points because some vowels aren't paired with some consonants in pronouncing hebrew words.

I reject the idea that i or freemind are trolling you. Far from it, we have asked serious questions regarding the very core of the matter. If god is all powerful why is there any question regarding his name whatsoever? If he is not all powerfull then what does the translation of 'yhwh' really matter....?

However, having expressed myself on the notion i will leave you to your sudo scholarship of ancient monks and vowel points

You are mistaking an attempt to help you reason for trolling. Freemind and I have made valid points regarding god and his ablity to preserve his own name, if you care to truly reason. The problem is your so caught up in esoteric nonsense regarding monks and latin your missing the forest for the trees. Freeminds example of arguing over spiderman is apt, if only you care to think about it.

You mean the debate over the proper translation of the all powerful 6,000 year old judao christain god dosent trouble you enough to give you pause???? Well.... All powerful but just not powerful enough to make it clear what his name actually should be translated as... you know pretty strong anyway..... Not strong enough to speak, like he used to when he wanted to make something clear, but still pretty strong... I guess..... In a bronze age goat herder kind of way....

You know freemind, i used to like you.... However if you keep putting Thor on the same level as the desert god im goimg to have to reevaluate my opinion of you. To review: there is zero evidence to support the existence of the desert god. We acrually see lightning and thunder, thus supporting Thor's existence. Its really not hard

"Why using jehovah for gods name is as good as using yahweh"

because they are both irrelevant monikers for an acient bronze age goat herder god. Call it whatever you want, it dosent exist and therefore dosent care.

How do you feel about exJW's who resist our efforts to effect change?

by nicolaou in

i've met a few.

i'm not talking about the jw who, whether df'd or not, falls off the radar and just gets on with living a normal life - good luck to them and may there be many more!.

i mean the former jehovah's witness who is now enjoying all the benefits of a cult free life thanks to the efforts of many bloggers, posters and activists, but is critical of the efforts of someone close them to free more jws.

_Morpheus

Perhaps consider that much dissent expressed between exjw's isnt that people shouldnt be helped to see TTATT but rather the means and methods. I frequently argue against radical (offensive) methods like crashing the memorial as being counter productive. Methods like asking thought provoking questions, having web sites like this and jwfacts are awesome, imo.

I also understand that not all will leave or even want to leave the cult. It IS their choice. Its reality. That dosent mean im counter productive to the exjw cause.
