  What do the FREEMASONS really know about JEHOVAH

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  https://youtu.be/2nc7twdw_9sfreemasons including charles taze russell knew for a fact jehovah is not god's name ,they knew that jehovah is just an amalgamation of vowels of adonai and the consonants of the tetragramaton.

  it was common knowledge amongst freemasons prior to 1871 that not only jehovah is not god's name but it was created for the sole purpose of stopping people pronouncing god's real name.i will let that sink in for a moment.

  being in full knowledge of these facts makes you think what russell's true intentions were for creating jehovah's witnesses as a religion in the first place because as sure as hell it was not for promoting the divine name.many have tried to make the case over the years the russell was not a mason or if he was he was very poorly educated in the masonic doctrines but this is not the case , in fact if you spend some time reading his writings you realise that the exact opposite is true.he was so thoroughly versed in freemasonry that he was trying to create a cross bread between christianity and freemasonry, and thats what i think his true intentions were to take freemasonry to its next level of infiltration of the christian faith, he was an apostate for the freemasons but russell saw himself as the next albert pike,unfortunately that didn't work out for him and he ultimately paid the price...read the rest herehttps://tevangelinos.wixsite.com/jwupdates/post/what-do-freemasons-really-know-about-jehovah

  That is a lot of opinionated bunkum without any forthright research.

  The way most English speakers pronounce Yahweh is just as made up, Hebrews would never leave out the two H sounds, in fact they are clearly pronounced in Arabic to this day.

  And what's all this hate toward freemasons, they helped establish one of the greatest nations in the world to this day, most of the signers of the US Constitution were openly into freemasonry.

  Let's give credit where credit is due and stop it with the necine conspiracy theories.

  I watched it, and I too kept thinking how many mind control, power grabbing tactics are parallel with the WTS and the JW religion. Religion is indeed a snare and a racket, and that abuses the most innocent.

  Which Bible Translation.....

  ....is the best, in your opinion?.

  out of the numerous translations i've had/used, i can honestly state that the 2001 translation is head & shoulders above all the others i've ever consulted, imo.

  the publishers even invite suggestions/corrections to be submitted.

  Concerning the use of pole by the 2Ktransies, I'll say, that to me it just betrays their lack of skill in Bible translation to the point of being ridiculously amusing.

  Their use of Jehovah exemplifies the high handed influence of JW mentality at work in their translation, especially when they include it in New Testament books.

  Last I'd heard of this translation project the original author was discontinuing the project due to personal issues and an ex-JW reached out to other ex-JW's, including Eric Wilson, to offer help in keeping the project going.

  So that should be quite telling of the level of scholarly achievement among the folks behind the Project, which is to say not that great.

  I find it very sad when an ex-JW is fully out physically but still enslaved mentally to the WT nonsense and doctrinal fallacies.

  So boogerman, don't get a rash over it.

  The meaning of phobos in that verse is well interpreted as reverence, that's why the 2Ktransies inserted Godly although not in the original.

  I told you that not in so many words but I guess you required some spoonfeeding, so there you have it.

  If you don't like my smartypants attitude I can accept that, just chalk it up to my flawed character, no worries ol' chap.

  Good question LUHE.

  iloowy is a goowy name but highly exalted.

  It used to be ilooy and it's even been ILLOOWY and the gaon is now goowy.

  But what's in a silly username that could make it smell more sweetly? I guess what's been said of the royal gown.

  Last nights Zoom meeting: Watching a nine year old on stage reading Bible passages

  my nephew called me sunday night to tell me that his nine year old son was giving his first talk.

  he gave me the zoom i.d.. and password for his congregations in-person tuesday night meeting.. i haven't been to any meetings in nine years.

  many things have changed.

  yeahhhh, some things change, some stay the same, some have gotten way, way worse. At one time the TMS had tests, which were scored and graded. And then there was the talk in a District Convention where they sternly counseled against using digotal devices on stage and you were no good if you didn't use your paper NWT to read from. But the emphasis on very young children joining the school has always been a practice in KH's. For many of us, Queequeg, I'd agree, it was a positive result of the training for speaking in public more comfortably and even doing research to draft your talk, good skills for sure.

  Eegads boogerman. Don't you understand the process of translation. No, I guess not. Why do you suppose there are square brackets arround Godly in the 2001translation? Is it in the original? Why do the 2Ktransies feel it was necessary?

  https://biblehub.com/1_peter/3-2.htm

  I'd suggest you are out of your league on the matter of evaluating translation quality, ol' chap.

  Once again after another extended absence the ILL is back in town. Greetings to all fellow oldtimers and loving that Blondie has been posting here on JWD once more.

  My old ticker ain't what it used to but I'm still kicking around.

  I disagree, the 2001translation is very biased. They claim ro use the Septuagint but make interpretations not in line with the actual text. The NT includes the divine name in places although there are zero Greek manuscripts that support its translation in the NT. At least one of the main "translators" was and likely still is a JW who had zero formative study or qualifications in Koine Greek, nor classical Greek, nor modern Greek for that matter. Get yourself a hold of an LSB or Berean Literal Translation, BSB or new NASB if you wasnt a great translation without the weaknesses of the amateurish 2001translation. I personally recommend the Legacy Standard Bible or the Berean Study Bible, the Lexham is also excellent. For a great translation with extensive notes the NET Bible is hard to beat and for a very litteral one that uses Yahweh in the OT the World English Bible is very good.
