Not everyone is English but to me it seems the Watchtower Society has Anglicized the name of Jahveh and Christ. I still have trouble pronouncing the names myself as the name Jesus and Jehovah are so ingrained in me.
So what you are saying is that we need to use the Hebrew pronunciation no matter what our language is??
Peace to you Zoe,
I'm not saying anyone has to do anything they don't want to nor feel comfortable doing certainly.
But if Jehovah's witnesses are going to pronounce the most important name in the universe, (and a reason they pride themselves as being the so-called truth of using it and carrying it) wouldn't you think they'd want to pronounce it the way they know it to be accurate verses what is acceptable by men?....YaHVeH JaHVeh
Pronouncing it JeHoVaH isn't any easier that JaHVeH. But we know the real reason they don't of course. They are not allowed to see the truth in this because their hearts are truly far removed from him.
Because their hearts are far removed from listening to and obeying the one He says to listen to, our Lords and savior JAHehsua MischaJAH, the chosen one of Jah who came in His Fathers name and made known that name to the ones His Father gave him.
Referring to our Lord as " Jesus" is not even the English term if one wants to say that is their common language. English would be Joshua or Jahshua. But of course "Jesus" is what is acceptable " by man" once again.
What a danger especially since our Father says "there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved."
And as dear Tammy said ( peace sister)
If the name is important, then isn't the TRUE name important?
Peace and love to you all, your sister fellow servant and slave of Christ
