The deal is: It's called the truth.
"Jehovah" is a blunder and a half.

Accurate translation requires a name to be translated as a name
Accurate translation requires all the letters to be known so as to translate period. Since they are not all known, there can be no ACCURATE translation, whether it be a name, a place or thing.
"YHWH" has always been the God with the unpronouncible name, because what his NAME represents CANNOT be encompassed by ANY WORD OF MAN. My proof is in the Book, clearly showing only a HEBREW LETTER SYMBOL of this God of Grandeur. Your proof is nowhere to be found.
A God who's "name" is so brilliantly glorious, unattainably magnanimous and uncomprehendably magnificent, that it is UNABLE to be pronounced and uttered by filthy man, brings to rubble all gods with a man made name.
That is the TRUTH God has left in the Book, that is the truth that is left in time. Yet corrupt men have to deny it. Why? Corrupt men reason in their puny minds, who can LOVE a God without a pronouncible name? We need a NAME to worship. If we don't have a name, we cannot worship GOD. God's "name" is His power, His glory, His Justice, His wisdom, His reputation. That is God's NAME.Men will say: What people could possibly worship a God with no name?
One answer: Only the real children of that God can love the God who's name is beyond all linquistic sibilance. His children call Him Father and Daddy and Papa and Abba.His enemies give Him a name. The God who's name that cannot be uttered because of it's sheer incomprehensible grandeur makes gods with man made names so much dirt to be walked on. And they will be walked on.
Go ahead, pronounce the name of the Creator for me will you? Which way shall you move your tongue? How much air should be behind each syllable? Part your lips this way or that? Where should we pause? Which sounds are correct to His ears? Which language that He made is closest to the correct enunciation? Is it Hebrew or something other? Tell me, do you know?Edited by - pomegranate on 16 August 2002 13:18:44

1 Cor 4:5
He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts.
Hos 2:10
10 So now I will expose her lewdness
before the eyes of her lovers;
no one will take her out of my hands.

>>All names are man-made inventions unless you speak in the tongues of angels.<<
"YHWH" is not a man made invention, that is God's invention. So you are incorrect. What is a man made invention, is when men take that which God left as the truth, an unpronouncible name, and INDESCRIMINANTLY and WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION add letters to it to make it it pronouncible to MEN'S SATISFACTION. If God wanted YHWH pronouncible it would be so. Or are you of the belief that the supposed Jewish superstition was more powerful than God maintaining God's own name?
Did you ever think that MAYBE the name was never pronouncible. Doesn't the God who's name is UNPRONOUNCIBLE by men sound like the true God? There is NO LABEL that will do justice to this being. The "name" of God is too magnificent to pronounce. Corrupt men trying to pronounce God's name, corrupts God's name. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
"JEHOVAH" is a CORRUPTION.
>>Does that mean there should be no names in the Bible ?<<
I believe your logic is faulty.

We agree if you believe "Jehovah" is a man made invention, becoming a man made tradition.
It should NOT be in any copy of a Bible.
That's what I believe.

"By combining the vowel signs of 'Adhonay and 'Elohim' with the four consonants of the Tetragrammaton the pronunciations Yewah' and Yehowih' were formed. The first of these provided the basis for the Latinized form "Jehovah." The first recorded use of this form dates from the thirteenth century by C.E. Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk of the Dominican Order, used it in his book Pugeo Fidei of the year 1270. (Aid to Bible Understanding, Watchtower Bible And Tract Society, 1971, pp. 884, 885)

But the reason that God's name is translated as 'Jehovah' is that is the name the first English translators (Tyndale, Coverdale) used.
This is incorrect. It came out of Catholicism in the year 1270.

Abuse Myth
by gravedancer inwhen you have the "who is the poster you like least competition" i know this post will enable you to choose gravedancer as a prime candidate but tfb here goes:.
it would seem as if everyone here is convinced that the organization of jehovah's witnesses is rife with molestors and they are raping kids at every juncture and every chance they get.
perhaps with the latest attention silentlambs has been getting this issue is just more prevalent but the reactions of some seem so stooped in personal bitterness that they are willing to just blindly accuse any jw of being a molestor (even when they know nothing else about that person other than the person is a jw).. true i agree 110% that the policy of the 2 witness rule needs to be changed immediately and victims should be encouraged to go to the police.
