i remember from past college courses that in the old testament the isrealites were not allowed to say god's name yhwy because it was too sacred, so they could only write it; therefore, they used el when saying god's name....correct?.....the jws seem to claim that they are the only religion to know god's name, but where do they get the right to say jehovah.
are there any scriptures that would confirm the change from only writing god's name to saying it?
i was just wondering about this questions because the jws have an answer for everthing....maybe i should ask one.
The Jewish taboos that Narc was speaking of don't exist in Christianity or pseudo-Christianity for that matter.
Christians can go straight to the father through Jesus without going through a high priest or any other mediator.
Therefore, YHWH is fine to use in christianity.
The real problem with the WTS is the way they translated the New Testament in their New World Translation.
Read "The Divine Name in the New World Translation".
so we all know that carey barber died recently.. i was wondering if most jw's know about this news.
do they make an announcement at the congregations?

They don't care about the man,...but they are willing to die by his words.

So I guess my next question is:
Do they announce his replacement?
I'm guessing that they probably don't, or if they do, it's a tiny blurb in the wt or awake.

Do they talk about what a good witness he was,...etc?
What about Bethel? They would all know,...I'm sure.
So do they make an official announcement and have a really large funeral memorial?
if i ever needed a blood transfusion would i have a right as a minor to choose a blood transfusion
Yet if you are unconscious and your family are JW's they could make that decision for you. You might want to carry a card in your wallet that says I ACCEPT BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS.

i watched the first part of the frontline special on mormons last night and i just visited the website.
mormons are so much cooler than jws.
they have a bloody history, pride in their ancestory and their temples are beautiful!
Why is it that the mormons have twice the amount of members compared to JWs? They have been in existence for about the same amount of time.
What is different about the mormon marketing campaigns compared to the JW door to door marketing campaigns?
