[GCFL-discuss] 'When I grow up'

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

 I'm sorry, wasn't trying to force the issue. I just wasn't aware that
you were sidestepping the question. My deepest appologies.

I never heard of this and don't really know what he meant.
The fact that I do not know does not mean that he's wrong.  Nor does it
mean that he's right.

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

I think you're referring to pronunciation.  We do not pronounce that name
as 
it is written -- only the High Priest in the Temple would do that.

As far as writing and erasing goes, which is what we were discussing, it
applies to any of His names, in any language.

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
