ah yeah! I know this, I do have one again!... Jehovah God wanted his NAME throughout the Bible. and most by translators REMOVED his name in places it should have been. and thanks for ignoring the rest of my post, concerning the kjv versions of their inaccuracies, in order to keep focus on us.

we as witnesses do acknowledge the Hebrew Name Yahweh. but if Yahweh felt the need for us use his name in Hebrew form, it would have been so. NOT that he hates anyone calling him Yahweh. because MANY refuse to even acknowledge the fact that he even has a NAME.. they REPLACED IT WITH "LORD." this is why in more Bibles then few, has the name JEHOVAH. this is NOT by means of man, though MANY wants to believe this. but Jehovah God has the Power to replace whatever he wants in ANY book.
sadly MANY tried to say at one time, witnesses made the name up. once we showed them ,that it was also in their Bibles. they then change it to, "GOD has MANY names." sad, MANY just can't be humble enough to say, sorry, I was wrong! Jesus warned us about NOT being humble, ( Luke 14:11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted). we all can be taught the truth, if we want it. peace

you shouldn't feel like you have to explain yourself "concerning sticking up for us." we're ALL imperfect humans, what matters to Jehovah's witnesses, is the fact that Jehovah God and Jesus has our backs. because we are trying to live for them. though, I do tend to defend anyone who I feel needs defending, even in these forums. NOT that they need me, but, that's just me, and I'm for the right. peace

My thoughts have been how hundreds of years ago human society was much different. The laws and rules involved the ability of a society to be able to thrive, (multiply), and protect themselves by their own strengths.
Today is quite a bit different. People are people, no matter of what persuasion, and God is Love.

i think JW's continue 'something' of the non-conformist spirit of the early church but seem to suffer from trying too hard to maintain this. they are a distant reflection of something older. i like them for that. they once had a kingdom hall near me and it was such an odd looking building, it almost didn't seem to be there, like a mirage. then one day they rebuilt it and it lost it's charm.
