First of all, Pammy, you should know that this site is frequented primarily by people who no longer recognize Jehovah's Witnesses as being the true religion. You may, therefore, receive answers that differ from what current JWs will give you, but I'll do my best...
1. what is the amology of yaway?
I have truly tried hard to figure out what you might mean by "amology," but am still unsure. I'll only tell you that Yahweh is recognized as the personal name for God as found in the Hebrew scriptures--or Old Testament. It comes from something called "the Tetragrammaton," which refers to the four letters of the Hebrew language that represented the name of God. Sometimes those letters are rendered YHWH--and sometimes JHVH. They didn't use vowels in this ancient language, so no one knows for certain how it was pronounced, but it is believed to have been [Yah-way.] At some point in history, English speaking people began to pronounce it Jehovah, and JWs recognize the use of that personal name as being of great importance.
What they won't tell you is they feel so strongly about this that they have often replaced the words "God" and "Lord" in the New Testament with "Jehovah" too--even though it was never there. Knowing and worshiping God was important, but there is no indication that in Jesus' day anyone considered the pronunciation of this Hebrew name to be important.
2. what do jehova witness believe happens after death?
They believe that the dead are really dead, meaning they do not believe that a spirit drifts out of the body and lives on. They will cite Ecclesiastes 9:5, which reads, "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten." [New World Translation] This subject is closely related to the one you address in your next question.
3. what do jehova witness mean about the split between the soul and the spirit?
As a JW I was taught (and, as an elder, taught others) that the soul was not what the religions of Christendom taught it was. Two words are translated "soul" in English speaking Bibles: the Hebrew word "nephesh" and the Greek word "psyche." JWs teach that these words mean "the body in a living state" or "the life a person enjoys." So JWs believe that when you're dead, you're dead. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. But they believe that your prospects for future life remain, in that God will keep you in His memory, and you may be resurrected when the time comes for that.
They teach that the words usually translated into the English "spirit" are the Hebrew "ruah" and the Greek "pneuma." They basically mean "wind" or "breath," and this has reference to the breath that God once breathed into the first human being that gave him (and subsequently the rest of humankind) life. JWs teach that a person does not "have" a soul--but that he or she "is" a soul. They recognize though that humans "have" spirit--as long as they are alive--and that, in a sense, that spirit (or "life force") "goes out" from the person when he or she dies.
4. and how can i get one of the little booklet about pay attention to daniel phophecy?
5. and do they have anything online that i could look at some of the material inside the book( pay attention to daniel the phophecy)?
You can get the "Pay Attention to Daniel's Prophecy" book from the Kingdom Hall--or by asking one of Jehovah's Witnesses to bring you one. I don't know if any considerable portion of it is available online. The good majority here, however, would caution you not to become involved with this group. We have horrific stories of how the Watchtower Society (the controlling authority of JWs) has devastated many, many of our lives--and how they, in our educated opinion, are NOT what they purport to be, namely "the sole channel of communication from God to the rest of the planet." The JWs you may know are usually very nice people. They've just been deceived like the rest of us were for so very long--and are afraid to give themselves permission to give the organization an unbiased investigation. Why? Because of threats not to do so from the Watchtower Society itself.
The decision is, of course, yours. But if you decide to study with Jehovah's Witnesses, do yourself *one* favor. Do not EVER let them keep you from examining ALL of the information available about them. Any attempt to seek your dedication to their organization while keeping you from hearing what those who've left have to say is an unfair and evil form of manipulation and deception.
