God's Name found in manuscripts The original Hebrew name of God re-discovered in 1,000 Bible manuscripts. On January 21, 2018, Bible Scholar Nehemia Gordon and his team of researchers discovered the 1,000th Hebrew Bible manuscript containing the original name of God in Hebrew with vowels. For two hundred years, scholars have believed based on Greek sources and conjecture that the Hebrew name of God was originally pronounced “Yahweh.” In late 2016, Gordon found never-translated traditional Jewish sources that explicitly identified the vowels of God’s name in Hebrew as “Yehovah.” This is similar to the English Jehovah, but with a “Y” and the emphasis on the final syllable.... Interestingly this is how it is in Original King James Bible of 1611 English

How do you imagine paradise will be? For me, I imagine this. Beautiful people everywhere. I still believe there will be all sorts of races but we will all be like a family. I imagine we will use all our brains capacity. And will be able to train ourselves to do anything we want. Sing, dance, you name it! Oh, and the animals. There will be only love between all living things. And closeness. That's what I imagine the new world to be. People who love Jehovah. Living together. Forever.

Everything seems to change. But rarely do we find things that are "Immutable". So I thought this may be a good word to use sometimes when trying to help someone see the differences between human laws or certain theoretical scientific laws by humans that can change when new evidence is presented versus Jehovah and His "immutable" Laws and Truths. This term could be useful when brothers give certain talks, if the brother of course just gives a brief explanation since it is not a common word. I really like this interesting word that actually points toward the Creator and His laws and His Truths! Therefore this word could be used to help others in some way in the ministry or from the platform. Below are some articles in which the FDS has used this term. What are your thoughts? How can this word be used to help others? (Merriam-Webster) Immutable : not capable of or susceptible to change *** w91 12/1 p. 19 par. 16 Practicing Pure Religion for Survival *** The “good news” that they preach is that shortly God’s immutable purpose will be accomplished. His will is going to be carried out, “as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 6:10) *** w81 8/1 p. 19 par. 15 A Field Producing Wheat and Weeds *** Wheat seed never transforms itself into weeds. This would be contrary to Jehovah’s immutable law: “Let the earth cause grass to shoot forth, vegetation bearing seed, fruit trees yielding fruit according to their kinds.” (Gen. 1:11, 12) *** w80 2/1 p. 4 The Power Behind the Universe—A Mysterious Force or a Real Person? *** The more scientists probe the universe, the atom and all forms of life, the more their studies reveal the beauty, the harmony and the complexity of all these things. The immensity and intricacy of the universe make men’s minds reel. But there is no effect without a cause. Behind all this beauty, this marvelous manifestation of wisdom and dynamic power, can you not “see” with “the eye of reason” the “invisible attributes” of the Great Maker? Obviously, the universe is governed by immutable laws. Does that not prove the existence of a Supreme Lawgiver? *** w76 9/15 p. 572 Hebrews: A Superior Worship and Its Requirements *** And what solid grounds we have for strong hope, for God not only gave us his word but also stepped in with an oath! By reason of these two immutable things we can have a hope that is like an anchor, both sure and steadfast. *** g 12/07 p. 7 Is Death Really the End? *** The fact that we have an inborn desire to live and an enormous capacity to learn leads to a logical conclusion: Humans are designed to live much longer than a mere 70 or 80 years. This, in turn, leads us to another conclusion: There must be a Designer, a Creator, a God. The immutable laws of the physical universe and the unfathomable complexity of life on earth fully support belief in the existence of a Creator *** g78 12/8 p. 11 Who Can Be Secure Today? *** Despite today’s pressing problems, Christians can look to the future with complete confidence. The future is secure, just as God’s purpose concerning it is immutable.

Hello dear brothers and sisters! After building a good collection of old kingdom songbooks i tried to make some recordings just to show the flavour of some old melodies that were used to be sung among brothers in the past years. Some of these kingdom songs were so beautiful. So I have some kingdom melodies of the 1950 songbook arranged in piano (played by me...forgive any mistakes please..)and you may download them from here. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yht9714sg8b61f7/AABH7Ama4v29khdZme2ZHXPPa?dl=0 Maybe some older brothers of this site can recognize some of the melodies:) Mike

We all know pretty much how a greenhouse works. All types of plants are contained in a specially designed shelter. Whatever weather is happening on the outside doesn't effect the plants on the inside. They keep growing. Jehovah is our greenhouse, and our joy, endurance and spirituality should grow inside. Whatever is happening in the outside world, whether financial issues, mental problems, emotional turmoil, whatever it may be, Jehovah protects us and we keep moving forward only by him. (Psalm 118: 14)-Jah is my shelter and my strength, And he has become my salvation. (Psalm 119: 114)- You are my shelter and my shield, For your word is my hope. (2 Corinthians 4: 16)- Therefore, we do not give up, but even if the man we are outside is wasting away, certainly the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day.

Is it just me or does the song to the new Corona Beer commercial go: "Jah, Jah, Jah, Oh Jehovah I love you"? I tried putting it on closed captioned to see the words but that commercial doesn't support CC in my area. I asked my husband to close his eyes and listen to it and he agreed with me.

The Vatican sent a letter to the publisher ATS Italia demanding the immediate withdrawal of some prints of John Paul II "blessings", including a verse taken from a Protestant version of the Bible that includes "Jehovah." They took Numbers 6:24-26 not from a catholic bible. Fact is: "May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth." But see for yourself: http://www.aciprensa.com/noticias/vaticano-exige-retirar-de-librerias-romanas-estampas-de-juan-pablo-ii-con-bendicion-de-jehova-77827/#.U2lhWc7enbX
