[GCFL-discuss] 'When I grow up'

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

Oh? Well that's why I asked. I had been told differently by a Prof who has a
Doctorate in Dead Sea Scrolls. (AWESOME CLASS) He had said Jews were so
afraid of G-d's name that they took two apart and made one... and I thought
I'd ask you. Looks like I need to go back and dig through all my notes and
e-mail him and ask him to clarify the notes.

So there was no taking apart of names to avoid desecrating them and creating
something new?

Just asking,
Lance

GreenBubble,

How old is this tradition?

I've heard the word Jehovah was created through of this tradition. Peices
from Yahweh and another one of His sacred names. Took out all the vowels of
these two words and created J*****h. I understand you don't think us typing
these names online are breaking your tradition, and I don't mean to impose
on your tradition, but it's the only way I know how to ask the question.

Thanks GreenBubble,
In Y*hw*h we trust,
Lance
