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....

Why using Jehovah for God's name is as good as using Yahweh
by oppostate inin 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.

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 ini'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.

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.

The "generation", how long, oh Jeehoober???
by DATA-DOG inhow long till the wtbts gets wise and reverts to boozerford's more plausible explanation of "generation"??
let's "face the facts" ( lol!!!
) and admit that this is the best explanation that the wtbts ever had.

Are you suggesting that we would know then what we know now...? If so im inventing the internet and google and buying tons apple stock.
If its just asking what we think we would would have done if we didnt have the cult.... Im not actually sure my life would be better.

OK so the GB are shaming Bros who don't "reach out" but would they ever consider this?...
by purrpurr ini note on here the feedback from the currently ongoing conventions that the gb are heavily trying to guilt and shame any brothers who are not ms or elders.
i agree with most posters who reckon this shows just how thin on the ground they are for ms and elders but... my question is.
how comes that even though they are so desperate they still will not allow women to fill those roles?

They do allow women to handle nonteaching responsiblties when there are not enough men
