Pat Robertson says god's name is "jehover"

Jourles

I had to stop in and post this link. It came via a jw chain email. All of the jw's on the chain are super excited about Robertson admitting that god's name is jehover. No kidding. Watch the clip here.

A lot of churches use the name "jehovah" but emphize that salvation is through Jesus. I heard "jehovah" in my own church and at first it grated on my nerves until I realize they weren't talking about the "jehovah" I grew up with.

very interesting. Thanks for posting. I agree with Josie, lots of other churches use the name Jehovah. They know him as the father but salvation for the Christian church is thru Jesus. And that is the arrangement approved of by the father. btw I prefer Yahweh as some believe Jehovah is a mistranslation. Lilly

P.S. One of my favorite Christian singers, Amy Grant has a song on one of her cds entitled "Jehovah".

This must add to the "jw's were right all along" theory.

Again, there are lots of churches who use the term jehovah.

How odd they want to use him to hold up their argument!

One of the biggest JW myths they use to make them seem special is they they alone use Ha-shem's proper name, Jehovah.

I can recall how surprised my father was at my worldly, shriner, uncle's surprise when my dad used the name. Apparently, the shriners use the name in some of their rituals and it's supposed to be some secret.

You should have seen it! They both looked at each other, dumbfounded.

I feel like that prisoner, Mathias, about to be stoned for saying the name, in The Life of Brian...

[Matthias is about to be stoned to death]
Matthias: Look, I don't think it ought to be blasphemy, just for saying "Jehovah".
[Everyone gasps]
Jewish Official: You're only making it worse for yourself!
Matthias: Making it worse?! How can it be worse? Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!
Jewish Official: I'm warning you. If you say 'Jehovah' once more--
[Mrs. A. throws a rock at the Jewish Official]
Jewish Official: Right. Who threw that? Come on. Who threw that?
Crowd: She did! It was her! [suddenly speaking as men] He! He. Him. Him. Him. Him. Him. Him. (Because, you know, women weren't allowed at stonings, I suppose.)
Jewish Official: Was it you?
Mrs. A.: Yes.
Jewish Official: Right...
Mrs. A.: Well, you did say 'Jehovah.'
Crowd: Ah! Ooh!...
[Crowd throws rocks at Mrs. A.]
Jewish Official: Stop! Stop, will you?! Stop that! Stop it! Now, look! No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle! Do you understand?! Even, and I want to make this absolutely clear... ... even if they do say 'Jehovah.'
Crowd: Ooh...!

My local church, which we went through the Alpha course with within a few days of leaving the JWs was re-ordered just before we started attending.

It cost them quite a lot of money (over £200k between '97 and '99)

They raised the money through local congregational giving. Part of the thinking behind the re-ordering was that the church was approx 150 years old and it was the responsibility of the current congregation to ensure that it was in a condition to see through the next 150 years.

They very tastefully modernised a traditional steepled building into a warm modern setting for worship and fellowship.

As an acknowledgement they put a big plaque over the inner entrance.

The FIRST thing that I saw when I walked in was "Jehovah Jireh - the LORD has provided"

I took it as a sign!!!

We've been there ever since.

Amy Grant has a song on one of her cds entitled "Jehovah

I used to think that that song was something because a "worldly" person was singing about Jehovah. My sister belongs to a church and also confirmed that they say Jehovah periodically.
