In the words of Rodney King who had just gotten the crap beaten out of him by the LAPD:
"People, I just want to say, can't we all just get along?"
Let's all just agree that the original Bible in no way, shape or form emphasizes/mentions the hybrid term 'Jehovah'!
😁🤣😂

Deeno...it's a pleasure to meet you & you're very welcomed here! It sounds like you were df'd when you were somewhere between 15 & 16 years of age. That must of been hard on you...soo sorry you had to go through that harsh disciplinary process at such a young age...& still having to deal with it. I, for one look forward to more of your story. Thank you for posting here!

Wow...what a powerful song!
Jesus is Jehovah to me!
For all you who must insist on 'Jehovah'...this song is for you!
Praise the Lord...Christ Jesus!
Thank you Sea Breeze...these guys can sure carry a tune!
do you think the brothers who wrote watchtower articles are living in real world?........
david splane........ powerful by faith convention 2021 video.
please i got an excerpt of this from another video but the response by david splane is not included.
"Do you think the brothers who write Watchtower articles are living in the real world?"
No, because they live in a compound...a guarded, gated, walled community & they don't get out much! 😊 😀😃
straight from the horse's gb's mouth - from the 2022 convention broadcast.. it's at the 38 min.
30 secs.

"...sometimes you'll hear people say of a little baby...Look at that little angel... but more accurate would be to say look at that little enemy of God!"
This cuckoo Jehovah's Witness GB member is actually coming across more assertive, fanatical and dogmatic than tolerant JWs claim when he states '...but its' more accurate to say...'!
Infact...in many of his other videos, Stephen Lette has a history/tendency of being critical of 'Yang Ones'!

Disillusioned JW: "...the examples you gave of the manner of usage of the name "Jehovah" at Kingdom Halls of JWs, including in public prayers, also sounds strange to me."
I estimate that the amount of times the term Jehovah is mentioned at a JW meeting from opening prayer to closing prayer & in between would be from 200 to 250 times. And the amount of times the term Jesus is mentioned would be less than 5 times...Seriously!
I doubt that Raymundo Martini, the one who coined the term 'Jehovah', ever intended it to be used, overused and abused in this fashion...Seriously!

I'll tell you what name the JWs like to emphasize. I was at a meeting this week and the dude Elder who opened with prayer repeated the term/name 'Jehovah'...must of been 15 times...from beginning to end he would begin a sentence with 'Jehovah' and end the same sentence with 'Jehovah'. It went something like this:
"Dear Jehovah bless our meeting today Jehovah! And please Jehovah may your Holy Spirit be with all those who have a part tonight Jehovah"...on and on and on!
Then the dude Ministerial Servant got up to close the meeting with prayer...it was similar like this:
"Thank you Jehovah for the spiritual feast we had tonight Jehovah. And Jehovah please watch over us Jehovah as we each go our separate way to our homes Jehovah"...on and on and on...I think he mentioned the name/term some 11/12 times in his prayer!
Personally...I think God Almighty tunes-out these type of juvenile/immature prayers!
The question and answer sessions were very similar in nature. Each and every JW member when giving an answer would start their sentence with Jehovah and end the sentence with Jehovah. So if their comment consisted of 5 sentences they would of mentioned the term 6 to 8 times...silly!

Slimboyfat: "How come the people who insist the pronunciation of the divine name is a deal breaker don’t say the same about Jesus, whose pronunciation in the first century clearly does not match?"
We've all heard this rebuttal before. Then don't say "Jesus"...that simple. You can use the terms Savior, Lord, Eternal Father, Great Teacher, Christ, Messiah, Anointed One or The Word. Everyone on earth will know you're talking about the Dude who layed down his life for mankind...not to mention all these expressions of endearment are acceptable to him & he welcomes them.
It's waaay different when addressing the greatest personality in the Universe, Almighty God...and being on a 1st name basis with him. Firstly...you better damn well have it spelled correctly & pronounced properly. When the Jews were offering sacrifices to God back in the day...they had to be on their toes...their being imperfect was no excuse if they presented a defective animal...notice the stern wording of Malachi 1:6-8:
"(6)A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the Lord Almighty.
“It is you priests who show contempt for my name. “But you ask, ‘How have we shown contempt for your name?’ (7) “By offering defiled food on my altar. “But you ask, ‘How have we defiled you?’ “By saying that the Lord’s table is contemptible. (8) When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord Almighty."
It's no different today...God doesn't want to be called by some made-up, fictitious, diseased, lame name. WT's Geoffrey Jackson even hints/admits in the June 2015 JW Broadcast that they could of done better than 'Jehovah'! Listen to the first 10 minutes of that Broadcast and see for yourselves. Pay particular attention beginning @ 9:00 through 10:00. This clumsy Geoffrey Jackson says:
"No one knows the exact pronunciation of the Divine Name. Scholars say a closer pronunciation is Yahweh rather than Jehovah...how important is the exact pronunciation of God’s name...not soo important..." (I'm paraphrasing)
This quote coming from a guy who says he has a direct connection to the Almighty himself!

"The name Jesus means Salvation from JEHOVAH or JEHOVAH is salvation."
Repetition is the teacher of retention! This apparently needs to be repeated: The word 'Jehovah' was invented...concocted in the 13th century...long after the Bible was completed in the 1st century...it has no connection or association with the Bible nor with our Lord and Savior...The Christ...The Messiah...Jesus!
In other words the name Jesus cannot be found in the word Jehovah nor can the word Jehovah be found in the name Jesus...the two are centuries apart...capiche!

However many times (over 7,000) the name 'Jehovah' appears in WT's Revised New World Translation Of The Bible...that's how many errors/mistakes (over 7,000) there are in the Jehovah’s Witnesses' Silver Bullet!
