  from catholic news service:.

  washington (cns) -- in the not-too-distant future, songs such as "you are near," "i will bless yahweh" and "rise, o yahweh" will no longer be part of the catholic worship experience in the united states.

  at the very least, the songs will be edited to remove the word "yahweh" -- a name of god that the vatican has ruled must not "be used or pronounced" in songs and prayers during catholic masses.. .

  Don't they have a patent on the name? I mean, didn't they invent it?

  Satanus, for some reason that rings a bell. I thought there might be some connection to St Leo and when I typed in a search...you would not believe all the stuff that has come up on JWs on the catholic forum. The lions are tearing them to bits. Take a look: http://www.catholic-forum.com/members/popestleo/index.html

  (scroll all the way down. There is a long section on Catholic Critique of JWs)

  It surprises me that they are being so vocal and so vehemently engaging in religion-bashing!

  from Catholic News Service:

  WASHINGTON (CNS) -- In the not-too-distant future, songs such as "You Are Near," "I Will Bless Yahweh" and "Rise, O Yahweh" will no longer be part of the Catholic worship experience in the United States.

  At the very least, the songs will be edited to remove the word "Yahweh" -- a name of God that the Vatican has ruled must not "be used or pronounced" in songs and prayers during Catholic Masses.

  This goes back to the Hebrew word called the Tetragrammaton. It's four letters -- consonants actually -- that are said to be God's name. And not to be said aloud. Except there aren't any vowels. So there's no way to know if it's supposed to sound like Yahweh, Yeewah, Yowee, etc.etc. etc. The word "Jehovah" is derived from the same four consonants. Jews drop the Hebrew word "'Adonai." in the spot where the four letters appear. It's usually translated as "Lord."

  Since Jehovah is also a "mistranslation" do you think other denominations will also begin to drop this name?

  What else will they use to reference the I AM if not those names?

  wow j-bird, that must have been freaky for you!

  Thanks for looking up the references. I will go check that out.

  Since you have a sister-doctor maybe she has given you advice on vit. C. Do you think the powder packets are more effective than the pills? I have read a long time ago that the hard pills like c's and b's sometimes do not even digest and are worthless. Just wondering what you think about it...and anyone else that wants to answer, also.

  My mt says take vit c every hour, but I think that's too much.

  ARMAGH.....

  According to Irish mythology Armagh was once the capital of Ulster until it was abandoned in the 1st century CE.

  The site was named after the goddess Macha, and as the settlement grew on the hills* nearby it was also named after the goddess. Ard Macha means "The Height of Macha". (Height could have double symbolism here: remember, the fallen angels are always associated with "high places--hills, mountains" per scriptures. Excavations reveal that many of these "high places" are actually burial mounds with evidence of human sacrifices. Height could also mean the pinnacle of an Empire.)

  MACHA

  Macha is a presumed goddess of ancient Ireland, associated with war, horses, sovereignty, and the sites of Armagh and Emain Macha in County Armagh, which are named after her.

  Armagh has been an educational centre since the time of Saint Patrick, and thus it has been referred to as "the city of saints and scholars". Saint Patrick decreed that only those educated in Armagh could spread the gospel.

• Armagh is the seat of both the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh, both of whom hold the position of Primate of All Ireland for their respective denominations.

an interesting tidbit concerning the A.L. calendar:

In connection with this study of the Craft, a wise Masonic
churchman said that it might be helpful to start as near the
beginning as possible. Then the question arises, where is the
beginning? This is a logical question and deserves honest study.
As is generally known among Masons the ordinary calendar is not
generally used by Freemasons in dating their official documents.
They have one peculiar to themselves, differing among their various
rites. Blue Lodge Masons date their documents by adding 4,000 ye
ars to the Christian era and calling it Anno Lucis or Year of
Light, using the abbreviation A.L. before the date recorded.  This
is known as Ussher's Chronology. It came into being in Armagh,
Northern Ireland, about A.D. 1650 and was first used in Biblical
computation in 1701. Hence, the Speculative Masons and not the
Operative Masons gave Masonry this chronology.

About Ussher's Chronology:

James Ussher (1654) dated creation to 23 October4004 BCE according to the Julian Calendar, 
which in the Gregorian Calendar would be 21 September4004 BCE.
Related to this is the Freemasonry's Anno Lucis, which adds 4000 years to the CE date. [7]
