Ok, screw it, I think we are better off calling YHWH the following:
God
Almighty God
Father God
Father in Heaven
That way, we KNOW that we arn't calling him a name that means bad things.

I just can't shake this feeling about the word Jehovah, and Now I know why
by A-Team inhad to do a little historic research to find out that jehovah is actually 2 hebrew words compounded: yah(h) and hovah.
yah(h) means: "i exist," "i am," "i create," or "i will be or bring into being.
hovah means: ruin, mischif, but yet,it's root, havvah,translates as: "calamity, iniquity, mischief, mischievous (thing), naughtiness, naughty, noisome, perverse thing, substance, very wickedness.

After thinking about it a little bit, I think if JWs say "Jah" or "Yah", I think it would be acceptable, because that actually means I AM. But when you attach Hovah to it, then you will get into much trouble.

My take on this is that Jehovah is just an artificial name that dosen't fit the actual name of the ALmighty. And to say that JWHW is his name is very inaccurate, as the J vouel wasn't created until around the Middle 2nd Millennium. YWHW is the most accurate English spelling, with Yahweh being a more accurate pronounication then Jehovah.

Similar Problem with 1 COr 10:9. Why do you think they are discouraging the study of Greek/Hebrew.

Do JWs even know the definition of the Sabbath is?
by A-Team inmost jws i come across tell me that the sabbath is when they partake in the memorial ::hard laughts:: do most jws think this way?
the reason this came up, is i was doing research on the sabbath, and from what i have found....for those who are still christians, we are in error because we practice it on sunday.
doing teh research of the history of the sabbath on sunday, it seems like teh catholic church is doing more harm then good.

IMO, that can be seen in a few ways. Acts 20:7 can be interpited as Paul preached on Saturday Night, and then left on Sunday Morning ta Midnight. BUt the 2nd paragraph has nothing to do with the Sabbath. As I did my research, even Jesus observed the Sabbath on Saturday. I have never came across scripture where Jesus or GOD actually changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.

from what I understand, this same ID Card Technology has already been approved in Mexico, Canada and MAY HAVE been approved in some EUropean COuntries as well.
