i believe the etemology for JEHOVAH is something like this:
tetragramaton uses only 4 consonants YHVH which were changed in germanic languages (like english) to JHVH. the vowels came from the word (i believe it is latin) ADONAI (pronounced ah-don-eh?), which means lord in english. this adonai is descended from the earlier BAAL. so, it would appear that YHVH's has had his name combined with BAAL (i'm sure the witniesses must have his everlasting gratitude for this bit of publicity)

Jehovah
by TweetieBird inwhen i was first having doubts about the organization, i stumbled across the following site.... .
http://www.eliyah.com/jhovah.htm.
it really opened my eyes, because i have a mother-in-law that tells me constantly that the witnesses are the only ones that bear god's name.

US Law & Presidency
by Amazing inus law & presidency .
many non-american people as well as many american citizens do not fully understand the legal premise of our system, nor how the system is designed to function.
because so many have a hazy idea, they often make mistakes in voting and involvement in the political system.. the presidency: the office of the us president was designed to be weak and largely one of administration.

Bravo amazing
as a canadian i'm green with envy that you yanks have a REPUBLICAN form of government and we canucks are stuck with the parlimentary democracy where the prime minister can actually decree some things into law by order of his personally hand picked cabinet. the us system with all of the checks and balances is truly brilliant.
for everyone who still cling to the idea that gore won, you must remember that both men new the rules before the contest and as late as 1 week before the election is was believed that bush would carry more of the popular vote and gore the electoral college. i believe that high profile dems like james carvel liked the rules at that point. also, if the pres was elected by direct popular vote, both candidates would have campained differently ignoring FLa., Penn., etc., in the final days of the election and concentrated on the most populas state of Calf.(largely ignored by bush because he knew that he had no chance to outpoll gore there and would therby lose all of the the electoral colege votes for that state) this would have undoubtedly have changed the outcome of the popular vote in some way.
finally amazing, i once heard on the radio show "the rest of the storey" that john adams was sworn in as vp 9 days before washington was sworn in as pres. and that one of the vp's duties is to carry out the office of president if the elected pres is unable. since washington had not taken the oath of office adams was president for those 9 days making washington president no. 3.

White House Lunatic Imperils Us All.
by Englishman innot just content with attempting to scuttle the kyoto accord by claiming it was anti-american, bush has now pulled the usa out of an international agreement on tightening up controls on chemical warfare, citing almost exactly the same concerns.
can't you blokes across the atlantic impeach this lunatic?.
..... fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.

to all americans
McCain was never a serious contender for pres: he isn't a descendent of the british royal family.

don't forget what the left wing media did in the florida pan-handle, declaring the winner before the poles closed. bush probably would have carried that state by 100 000. the election would have been over the 1st night and nobody would care about the popular vote nation wide

3 meetings per week NOT FIVE!!!
by sawthelight inam i the only person ever to fall under the influence of the borg who can count?.
no offence all but jws meet three times per week.not five!
i consider the familiar statement about 5 meetings per week to be a good indication of just how indoctrinated a person is.

welcome aboard. its to bad about your friends and family but maybe you can help them and even get some ideas on this forum.
as for the number of meetings i think some who have left still say 5 to make things sound even worse than they were although all in all the borg sucked.
