i've been fascinated with this topic for some time now, almost to the point of obsession.
after researching the issue for several years, i have come to a conclusion/theory that i would love to receive some feedback on.
this theory of mine is one that will be somewhat unsettling to both those who believe the divine name was used in the original nt scripts as well as those who believe it wasn't.
I personally would not have a problem if Yahweh or Jehovah was used in the NT when quoting directly from the OT. For Example, when Paul refers to Joel 2:32; notice LORD is used rather than Lord, indicating it may be legitimate to use God's name in the passage. The NKJV is possibly the only modern translation which does this.
For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." Romans 10:13 NKJV
i was on the jw.org website today and decided to watch a video entitled 'respect jehovah's authority'.
to my surprise approximately 3mins 25secs into the video, as the opening title began to fade, a symbol of the all seeing eye (eye of horus) appeared on the screen.
the scene was not set in egypt, but in a hebrew tent in the wilderness where praise was being sung to jehovah!!
Hi Folks,
You need to look again at the actual video, there is definitely and eye image. One more thing, I assume from the tone of your replies you are neither JWs or Christians, otherwise you would not be using such insulting remarks.
Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person. Colossians 4:6 HCSB
I am sure the moderator of Jehovahs-Witness.com would agree.
In Jesus' name,

Hi,
I was on the JW.ORG website today and decided to watch a video entitled 'Respect Jehovah's Authority'. To my surprise approximately 3mins 25secs into the video, as the opening title began to fade, a symbol of the All Seeing Eye (Eye of Horus) appeared on the screen. The scene was not set in Egypt, but in a Hebrew tent in the wilderness where praise was being sung to Jehovah!! I cannot believe this ended up in the video by accident, since the WBTS are usually meticulous with their media.
So the question arises: What is the pagan All Seeing Eye symbol doing in the video? Bear in mind, I was not looking for any fault, I simply found this by accident. I suspect the video may be removed if this comes to light.

Yours in Christ Jesus.
