  Do as we SAY, but not as we DO!

  "it's easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they've been fooled.

  it's not just jw's who blindly follow their leaders.

  it's horrifying to see how easily mass-hysteria has been instilled in a nation.

  hello, i was hoping to get some clarification about how people are disciplined for immorality as a jw.

  i became involved with a co-worker a few years ago, she was fairly aggressive and she initiated a physical relationship very quickly.

  at the time i did not know she was married and a jw.

  Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?

  such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....

  Jehovah? Oh dear.

  by Giordano in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some recent new friends on this forum like friend kosonen are fixated with god's name being jehovah...unfortunately they are wrong:.

  a quick bit of history:.

  "about the 13th century the term “jehovah” appeared when christian scholars took the consonants of “yahweh” and pronounced it with the vowels of “adonai.” this resulted in the sound “yahowah,” which has a latinized spelling of “jehovah.” the first recorded use of this spelling was made by a spanish dominican monk, raymundus martini, in 1270.. interestingly, this fact is admitted in much jehovah’s witness literature, such as their aid to bible understanding (p. 885).

  giordano is quite mistaken.

  Jehovah is an adequate transliteration of the divine name into English.

  Just like Elijah is correct.

  Just like Jeremiah is correct.

  Just like Joshua/Jehoshua is correct.

  Just like Judah/Jehudah is correct.

  As a matter of fact there is only one letter difference between Judah's name and the tetragram.

  YHWDH is Judah which was pronounced according to its letters like YeHooDaH, and if you take that D out, you are left with the tetragram which should be pronounced then like Ye-Hoo-aH according to its Hebrew letters..

  Write it as it would sound in Latin letters and you end up with Iehovah, since the letter I was like our English Y, and the V was like a W or OO sound.

  In English spelling this became traditionally spelled with a J like so many other Bible names.

  Zoom zoom rules +

  by Wakanda in

  1. and this is most important, everyone listen up: dress up like you normally would for meeting!

  -oh, gawd.. 2. if you use a zoom background, make sure it is not distracting, or something crass like prison.

  stick with something dignified and subtle.

  Now the WT has acquired Zoom accounts with disaster relief funds to give out to elders for meetings. And I wonder how much this is reaching for more control of the sheeples? Since they own the accounts they have access to the video recording files and chat transcripts.
