It means the adsense ads for this page have to do with Jehova's Witnesses, including a singles site
All I know is that the Wikipedia is REALLY letting me down on this!
Facts on the name differ substantially from "The Truth" about it I was raised with.
Interesting link
And that YHWH was originally merely one of many pagan gods - in fact, a sky god (a god of thunder and lightning). He was called by enemies of Israel 'a god of the hills'. Once ancient Israel sufficiently conquered their neighboring tribes, they took to re-writing their history, and setting YHWH up as a single deity.

Religious intolerance? Hardly. I know quite a bit about their religion; I dated one for over a year. Judging by what I've learned about their hypocricy and BS, I stand by my assumption.

I'd like to see links to back up your "facts" here please. The word for "god" in ancient Hebrew was "El". "Elohim" is not the plural for "El", but means "the many that think/act as one." YHWH means a singular god -- the unchanging, eternal, self-existent God, the Exodus 3:14 "I am that I am" (but that "am", the "to be" verb, could be past, present, or future tense) -- similar to the Arabic word Allah. It cannot exist in plurality.
It is true that the word Jehovah has no Biblical basis whatsoever.
And in the Hebrew, it begins with a "Y". The word was never used though, and the ancient Hebrews called their God, Adonai ("Lord").
It doesn't matter what know about them, a sweeping derogatory generalization like that is religious intolerance no matter how you want to slice it. No matter what you think, it is fact that the most important right of all is the freedom of belief.

Anubis
No Lifer
it is the name of the christian god, improperly translated
i think the proper translation is something along the lines of "iehoa," watch indiana jones and the last crusade for a good translation
