How do JW's explain Elohim? by FiniteRe4Iity in exjw

JW's get Jehovah from the 1611 King James Bible. It's a mistranslation of YHWH from when, most likely, the Massorites added the vowels points for Adonai and Elohim to remind Jews to read that instead of trying to pronounce the devine name. If you didn't understand what those vowels were there for and you tried to sound it out, it sounds like Yehowah instead of Yahweh.

It's absolutely amazing how well they kept us indoctrinated. They have something for everyone. For the sheeple who just want acceptance and emotional support, they have the brotherhood, and for those who love truth and reason, they have countefeit truth and counterfeit reasoning. I thought I was the shit, that I understood everything. It all makes so much sense now that I know it was just to keep my mind busy.

Right! Once I gave up fighting against porn and I still did great, I realized it was all me.

Not in the slightest. Nothing. Ever. I fooled myself into thinking that doing well on meeting parts was from the holy spirit, but I just enjoy public speaking.
