Romans 10:13
by PSacramento inwe all know that the passage from paul's letter to romans, romans 10:13 says:.
"all those who call on the name of the lord will be saved".. now, in the nwt they translate that as jehovah instead of the word "lord", because this is a quote from joel 2:32 and in the ot the tetragrammaton yhwh is used, which the nwt translates as "jehovah" (not only the nwt does that, the asv,yng and dby, do it also in regards to joel).. however, of the 16 translations i have seen, all translate that passage in romans as lords and all the commentaries i have read so far, point to view that paul was applying that passage to jesus, being his name that is salvation.. commentaries by james, fausset and brown, by matthew henry and by barnes, to name only 3.. comments?.

Jehovah explained by WT
by PSacramento incan anyone confirm what i read on another website that the aid to bible undertsanding, 1971 pages 884-885, admit that the term jehovah is a combination of yhwh and the words adonia and elohim and that scholars generally favour "yahweh" as the correct pronunciation?.
is this correct?.

My "baptism" as one of JWs is considered invalid.

Getting back into anyone's "good graces" does not take groveling, in my honest opinion. It does take honest communication using methods which each side finds trustworthy.

It is not a blood "policy" which causes deaths. It is sin, and its resultant sicknesses and maltreatments.

Thank you, lezleesm, for your excellent contribution (Post 4).
Isaac, the announcement was NOT that [Spike Tassel] is NO LONGER one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Rather, it was the [Spike Tassel] is NOT one of Jehovah's Witnesses. The congregation's treatment seems to be almost the same, but the meaning I get from it is that when I said I had repented of my sins at my "baptism", that I didn't know what I was talking about. I participate fully in the singing and in taking notes, but not in commenting outside of elder-sanctioned applications focused on their examination of my spirituality. I can, at present, receive basically any thing I want for personal use, except for the WT library on CD.
BluesBrother, it was within the last five years or so when I heard the announcement regarding the official delisting of the Aid book. The 2 Insight volumes are relatively small compared to some non-WT publications in my library. I remember a time when I would bring my 2-volume Insight set to the meetings and Convention to make notes in.

Is God's name absent in the Christian Scriptures?
by Spike Tassel inperhaps this article will help you know for yourself: http://www.tetragrammaton.org/godsnameabsent.htm.

After citing various references, I believe that "Is The Name YHWH in the New Testament?" makes the most sense, though some minor proofreading errors could be corrected by whoever is duly authorised to do such. It is the most comprehensive, and it works with extant historical evidence that actually backs my intuition that YHWH's name properly has been in the NT since its inception, both in concept and in fact:— http://www.equipministry.com/studies/yhwhinnt.htm

Ok have you ever been asked this question in regards to Isaiah 43:10 ?
by StoneWall inhow could god have always existed since it plainly says near the end of that verse before me there was no god formed?.
here is the quote from the nwt and i also looked it up on numerous other translations and they all used the word before.. .
isaiah 43:10. you are my witnesses, is the utterance of jehovah, even my servant whom i have chosen, in order that you may.

Yes, androb31, that appears to be a fair characterisation of what I'm saying here.

The Last (Lord's) Supper
by PSacramento ini wanted to ask this question beacuse at the last memorial supper it caught my attention more than it ever did:.
why do some (not just the jw's) believe that judas did not partkae of the lord's supper, the bread and the wine?.
in the synoptic gospels of matt, mark and luke, there is nomention of judas being sent away, indeed in luke jesus says "behold the hand of the betrayer at the table with me".. while in john judas is sent away, he is sent after the supper, though it is not clear if this was the lord's supper since there is no mention of the the partaking of the wine and bread in john.. help would be greatly appreciated.. .

let us not stoop to obscene jesting. And officially, I am still under the latest official pronouncement, read by the then service overseer several years ago:— [Spike Tassel] is NOT once of Jehovah's Witnesses.
