Biden - Inappropriate Toucher and Killer of Children

by Simon in

ny times report on the drone strike in afghanistan - they killed an aid worker and his family including 7 children.. it was done as a political stunt so biden could claim they struck back at a terrorist (although it was a suicide bomb attack).. the attack was due to his incompetence and the drone strike done to distract from it.. his inappropriate touching of young girls now seems tame compared to his murder of young children.. he should be prosecuted.

he should be jailed.

he won't be, because us politics.. if you voted for him you're a shit that supports an inappropriate toucher and killer of children..

Then I guess there are shits who voted for Biden and shits who didn't.

What do you think about Nehemia Gordon theory regarding "Yehovah" as God's name pronunciation that never got completely lost?

by psyco in

nehemia gordon, in his book "shattering the conspiracy of silence", argues that "yehovah" is god's name pronunciation and it has never got completely lost, giving a linguistic explanation.

what do you think about that?.

But the H is for a certainty pronounced in ancient times so when people pronounce YHWH as Yaa-wey this is totally wrong, there are two H sounds in the name and both were pronounced in ancient times, one clue is Arabic where one of the names for Allah is Yahwah, and is pronounced Yahh-WaHH with emphasis on the last syllable and the H sonds quite audible both times.

Good recap Slim!

Nehemia though, insists that the sound of the letter waw in Hebrew was always like English V, which is just not linguistically accurate. It makes him sound ignorant. Otherwise his arguments would be somewhat convincing, but then there's that pesky Jehovih which with an i at the end does give credence to a qere form for Elohim.

However, I see the form Yehowah as very plausible. Judah's name Yehudah is only different by that middle D, which when taken out gives Yehuah, pronounced about exactly with Yehwah or Yehowah. Besides most ancient texts that use niqqud vowels don't have a Holem vowel point in the word, so if you spell it without the Holem O letter it also gives Yehwah.

The Impact of Less "Appointed Men" & This Site Thank You

by JWTom in

with the passing minimus, we all may think about what this site has meant to us personally.

i lurked here for quite a few years before becoming active as a poster....still i consider what i have done to be very slight compared with others.

may minimus rest in peace and a big thank you to all that have helped me here over the years.. a new member that is a pimo elder (reservations) posted here about how he could wake people up while remaining a pimo elder.

the one thing that hurts the WT is available funds, well, the lack of it.

a congregation can be run without any elders, only an ms, heck there have even been cogregations where no qualified baptized brothers were there to take the lead, but if the money keeps coming in, the game is afoot.

no money, then real estate sales follow, and there is only so much local real estate that can be sold before publishers have to go great distances to meet.

the pandemic is hiding much of the situation with the current properties and if there is a large selloff we will see the effect of many waking up. I get a feeling that contributions have taken a tumble these past two years.

Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

by RolRod in

sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

oppostate

Yup, the pyramid is now all gone, and the WT now disposes off and hides away yet another of the unsavory reminders of their failed prophesies.

it wasnt liberals who broke into the Capitol and fought the guards. It was idiots following Trump. How is that for some realization of who is bringing down the democratic system of government.

To make it more democratic and less federalist lets get rid of the electoral college that puts an idiotic mind controled minority in power time after time.

It was those sort of idiots who followed Trump's wishes and tried to derail the election process.

And those who defend them are as idiotic as they are.
