  the wtbts uses the word 'jehovah' to lord it over people.

  it's great that they picked on a made up name - it's a gift horse in the mouth for you to be so at liberty to drop it.

  (i love sayings, you know, a gift , horse / pride, and from their own mouth?)..

  So it was Martin who really pushed it.
  I shoulda known that - maybe I wasn't listening.

  I thought "Y H W H" was from the same source of sound as "I Am Who Am" was, as Moses was made aware of.

  When did we see you in need Lord?
  What you did for the least of these - it was me.

  The poor and needy have been blessed, broken and handed out for the sake of everyone - but I don't know if the 'annointed' ever stayed for that meal, ever.

  Shit I can't help but bag those people.

  Dinky,
  I'll try and find some Hawthorne online. I haven't read Hawthorne, but I love symbol - more than language perhaps.

  (supersticiously? or did the Jews have a reason?)
  Maybe they asked for stones and got stones.

  Closest in our language? What about Yahweh?

  I thought that these names came from letter playing with Lord or "I Am Who Am".

  The sound 'ginna' is garden, I don't know other similar sounds in hebrew though (yet).

  You won't find howdy in hebrew, but the sound in hebrew is kinda like 'ah good' or 'splendid'.

  Dinky,
  that makes a lot of sense, but I also know that there are people who, though having left, still think the borg maybe the 'truth' and the name they use over people hits home with them (just like with yourself) so they're in a void they can't escape, like a purgatory. It's important that they, the jws, and everyone know that 'Allah' is every bit as acceptable, if your talkin about the same Spirit.

  To my mind jovies aren't refering to the same person I am, or at least they don't know Him as they claim. If you left then it seems you don't either.

  Did I say I had rights? I suppose I'm assuming a right to speak.
  My business is more information, because in the case of the wtbts, they're not talkin about the same Person when they ask to enter our house.

  I'm guessing you really liked the name jehovah? I'm sorry for your loss but I can't have the jovies getting away with it, I've got to say something.
