Actually, my Chapter 1, "'Jehovah' and Jehovah's Witnesses," is 21 pages long, and has an 8 page discussion of the pronunciation of the divine name, showing that "Yahweh" is not the correct pronunciation at all, but that the Anglicized form "Jehovah" is quite in line with the accepted practice of pronouncing biblical names whose pronunciation is unknown, in English, and that the original form of the divine name was in fact three syllables (as in "Jehovah"), not two (as in "Yahweh").
That, to put it mildly, is rubbish.
Either you don't know what you are talking about or you don't know what you are talking about. What about the above is "rubbish"? Are you capable of
commenting on the specific points or are you just going to give some lame comment that does not tell us anything?
I am copying into a text file Stafford's comments on this issue, from his book, and then we'll see who is "rubbish." I doubt you will even be able to understand them, as they are no doubt too technical for you to comprehend.
