    Can anyone tell me what the video maker is talking about from the following comment?:

    Actually we do not completely translate the bible by the Greek texts. the Hebrew texts were also consulted before the greek texts and the name YHWH appears over 2000 times in the old testament and almost 3000 in the New.
    The name is pronounced in Hebrew Yahweh or Yahovah. in English it has been chosen to be translated as Jehovah.
    This is the first I've heard of "Jehovah" being used in the original translation of the New Testament.

    Many for sure, but I also find it interesting that many JW terms and phrases do have some oscure Bible background... such as the use of "publishers", which I presume is taken from verses in Acts that talk about "publishing" the good news.
