i was listening to my brother in law talk about his job this week.
he had a stable job for a long time.
it was not without problems but it was there.
My college education was blamed by a family member of mine for making me think critically... ok... and...
Really I can honestly say my analytical approach to this being a complete dangerous cult had zero to do with college. College doesn't make critical thinkers, but it does work well for them.

WTBTS Blame decision tree
I guess satan is the fail safe for all blame, if it wasn't a homosexual, or a woman, well... Satan.

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.
*sigh* as you wish
Come on Opp you love me

don't want to get into a lot of detail but it seems like my wife is finally having some flashes of awareness.
she's got them before, but not in very touchy subjects.
she was willing to seat down with me and look over some websites talking about some very controversial subjects that i do not dare to write about at the moment.

"the governing body asked me..." I am sure its more like "The legal department begged me"
Also this old PSA, very interesting, very covert, I am sure this was a legal move from my own experience in business and legal, they didn't really promote it, but by releasing it they put something on record back then showing "proactivity" if you will. Very clever and will probably elude the skepticism of most R&F.

This is what I have been waiting for
I too agree that we may never know the exact pronunciation with definite surety,
lol, see that wasn't so bad.
This troll is heading back to his bridge now.
Can I play another goofy video yet?

Isaac = Yitzhak
Jerusalem = Yirusalem
Where does Josephus' 4th vowel come from?
This all seems like a quagmire to me. I mean divine...
I don't believe we know what the real YHWH would be, and if we could it still wouldn't matter.
I don't believe anyone left any conclusive clues, the original was lost to superstition.
And while Martini or anyone else of that time period may not have invented Jehovah, they certainly were the point of reinforcing it, an unknown as fact.
