well, this is an information from a certain forum (2ch) in japan.. according to that information, apparently, that is in the article of "awake!, july 2010. p.21".
in that article (awake!
july 2010), the tetragrammaton (yhwh) is drawn in the triangle.. but when looking carefully, a part of those hebrew is different.. .
HEBREW - ENGLISH Number Table
The English equivalent is below the Hebrew letter (in parenthesis).
The number value of the Hebrew letter is below the English letter.
The "vav" or English "w" or "6" is highlighted in yellow.
By the way, Hebrew reads right to left.

I don't have access to that Awake article and am wondering what it is about and why they have put in a picture of a triangle?
Here you go Listener:

i see some here who seem to despise the religion.
others seem to feel that witnesses are wacky but they don't hate them.. do you hate this religion?.
YES!!!! I hate this religion! (not the people)
Hate is one of our emotions. You can not deny it. There are things in this world that should be hated and the WT$ is a perfect example of something to hate & I sure do hate the WT$!
Countless people have died due to it's murderous blood/organ doctrine. Many more have lost family/friends over the cruel shunning practice. Breaks up families. Hides & protects child molesters so as not to defame the JW name. Most (if not all) of the R&F are walking around waiting for Armageddon & wasting their lives serving this billion $ printing religion.

Looks like you are right Possible-san!
Look at the Tetragrammaton in the Awake, now look at the one below which is what Yahweh (YHWH) looks like in Hebrew.
Not the same!

i'll start off.. i don't believe anything is divine about bible writings.
i believe there may be some marginal history although not much.
i think alot of folk tales and regional myths are contained in the old testament.
I don't believe in 'Fairy Tales' anymore! So my hand is not raised.

for a long while i have been coming to this site on a daily basis and i think it is time to introduce myself.
here we go: my parents learned the truth when i was 4 and i don't have childhood memories of how life was before they converted.
i was a model jw child, although quite mischievous at school.
Welcome NVR2L8

i just received this from an old friend on fb.
i can't hang with an apostate or someone cheering.
on apostates...of course, if jw's are not your cup.
"do you live in fear of an all out nuclear war turning this place into a cinder? It very well could happen, right....but will it"
I would turn that around and back at him, I would write something like "even more of a reason to put your beliefs to the test, blablabla last thing you want is Jesus saying at armageddon that he does not know you" then quote some bible verses, its best to be in the same frequency even if you don't believe in a God/s.
I agree with Joey You need to quote some bible verses even if it is not what you believe anymore. I don't believe in the bible, yet to help others open their eyes, I quote it quite a lot to show how wrong the WTS has it.
Sooner7nc maybe you can quote 1 John 4:1 and tell him that's what you have done and your conscience didn't allow you to follow such a false prophet anymore.
(1 John 4:1) Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

i'll give some background information before i introduce myself.
i faded from the organization three and a half years ago.
i have no family members who are jws and haven't thought about this religion at all over the past three and half years.
Welcome
I need to get up to date on all the JW lingo and new rules.
Same old same old really... One thing that's new (apart from the new secret Elders book) is the 'overlapping generation'. Another change to the Generation Doctrine. It never ends....
The Watchtower (Study Edition), April 15th, 2010 Issue, Pages 27-29:
"This magazine has long been used by “the faithful and discreet slave” as the primary channel for dispensing increased light. ... What does this explanation mean to us? Although we cannot measure the exact length of “this generation,” we do well to keep in mind several things about the word “generation”: It usually refers to people of varying ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period; it is not excessively long; and it has an end. (Ex. 1:6) How, then, are we to understand Jesus’ words about “this generation”? He evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation. That generation had a beginning, and it surely will have an end. The fulfillment of the various features of the sign clearly indicate that the tribulation must be near. By maintaining your sense of urgency and keeping on the watch, you show that you are keeping up with advancing light and following the leadings of holy spirit.—Mark 13:37."
