  Why Jehovah is not included in some Bible.

  by homme perdu in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this past saturday i took a trip to the library to find the answer to the thread subject.

  according to what i have read the real pronounciation of god's name is lost because of this jews usually identify god as adonai (lord) as a sign of respect.

  scholars substituted yhwh with lord.

  Has anyone come across the research that states that Jehovah was a pagan name?? I read somewhere that Elohim was the correct name for God, meaning Lord, because his name was important to pronounce....I dont know if this is real, just fft

  my daughter came home from shcool yestarday red!

  after a private discussion with her, she said a girl in school whom she has gym with (7th grade) told another girl that her uncle has been touching her!

  my daughter wasnt part of the conversation but she stepped in and asked if she (victim) has spoken with the counselor yet.

  Stef,

  You really should let the principal know. Ask that your daughter is not specifically involved, but something has to be done to help this girl.

  Jehovah provides...

  i found this in one of the letters listed in the best of forum.

  i quote:.

  "a regular pioneer gave an experience of how her car needed $87 in repairs, but she didn?t have any money because she didn?t have a full-time job since she believed jehovah would always provide for her.

  Its ridiculous really when you think about it...God watches out for those handing out watchtowers and knowledge books....but he lets millions die of hunger. I guess all those poor countries should pick up their preaching bags...

  " A regular pioneer gave an experience of how her car needed $87 in repairs, but she didn?t have any money because she didn?t have a full-time job since she believed Jehovah would always provide for her. She was out in field service one day and as she stepped out of the car, she looked down and what do you think she saw in the gutter? A $100 bill! Everybody around me was ooohing and aaahing about how Jehovah provided this $100 bill to this poor pioneer sister so she could get her car fixed. All I could think was how I don?t know one single person who can afford to lose $100 and be okay with it."

  How many times have we heard experiences like these...Anyone know of any they care to share...I remember asking once why God didnt help me that way, and I was readily informed I was not doing enough in his service...anyone else hear this load of crap??

  I read your post and the similarities in our situations is striking. I too sometime ago was in a similar situation. I agree with others here on that you should read Crisis of Conscience. It will give a different perspective on the Governing Body. Unfortunate for me my situation at home did not get better, but thats not the case all the time. Give it time, continue to research and things will work out. The confusion will soon dissipate...

  Good Luck and Welcome to the board
