Yes, the study contradicts the existing understanding.

Nah, magnets is just rude.

So, active recall?

Active recall (asking yourself questions about the text) is better than passive recall (rereading the text).

Well Jehovah's witnesses think it's important to use the personal name of their god, so it's a bit amusing that they get the name wrong. It's like they fell at the first hurdle.

To be fair, the mistranslation predates them. I see they acknowledge the issue and think it doesn't matter.

I guess it's a bit of a coordination/communication issue with other JWs and with the world at large. The fact that they stick with this mistake doesn't mean that individual Witnesses, or the group as a whole, are stupid, or don't understand their own religion.

Are you basing this on the "quantum immortality" thought experiment?

Do you also read about the history of the Bible? For example, scholars consider the book of exodus to be highly inaccurate/mythologised.

Ironically, the name "Jehovah" is a misunderstanding. It comes from applying the vowels from "Adonai" (my lord) to "Yahweh" (the name of God).

The Hebrew alphabet initially didn't have vowels, so the name was written as YHWH. When vowels were introduced they decided to write the vowels for Adonai above YHWH, to remind readers not to say his name, as it was too holy. Eventually people forgot this logic and assumed it was the normal spelling of his name.
