Can we have some examples og how they are black suprmist. It is not enough to assert so or because many members are black suprimist to say that. Otherwise one could state any religion that had mostly white followers was white suprimist in 1940
- There are sources on it. They maybe in the links section on their leader. I haven't done much on this article since changing it from a redirect.--T. Anthony 14:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
In no way are we "Racist" in any way what so ever.This coming from someone that is and has all way been A Hebrew Israelites or a Yahweh as some like to call it.And just about everything that I read In this article was not the true because.No one that I know or that ever I knew that in the Nation Of Yud Hay Wav Hay or Yahweh are violent in anyway.So from what I have read either I been fool by the kind caring people that I grew up around or somebody just doesn't know what their talking about I think it the latter of the two.First of all who ever wrote this article must not have ever met any Hebrews Israelite or ever been to any of are Feast or other celebration so for them (who ever whote this article and other article about the Nation of Yahweh or Yahweh Ben Yahweh ect. ) the say that we are a "cult" is far from the true. We are just like any other religious organisation.We just believe what we believe.If anything we are really good up standing people who love their God and their believes that all no kiiling no hate none of those thing that are said I that article. Yahweh Ben Yahweh has been nothing but nice to me and my famliy he was the one who named me at birth. so I don't know why they are trying to make him seem like this evil montser that he not.We have done anything to anybody despite what people may think.

[edit] I remember these guys
They used to stand in Times Square and proselytize hate at anyone who walked past. There was a "preacher" who would shout angrily at everyone, pausing only to shout "READ!" at some guy who was sitting at his feet with a Bible, who would then yell out Bible verses which I guess he believed supported his, uh, "theories." --StarKruzr 05:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yahweh Ben Yahweh tv program
Yahweh Ben Yahweh, Nation of Yahweh, has its own program on KVOS which airs early Sunday Mornings (5:30 am). I don't know how far beyond the pacific northwest the channel reaches. While I am not a follower of this or any other group, what the Nation of Yahweh propgates is no different than that of your other paid religious tv programming like Pat Robertson, Oral Roberts, John Haggee, etc. However, the Nation of Yahweh program has more of an educational approach when it teaches about the Bible. There doesn't seem to be anything racist, much less violent, about what this group teaches or believes. Some may consider it a "cult" but that's a subjective lable at the best of times.
[edit] The is article violates NPOV
This article is a huge mess. virtually every statement of fact is POV and unsourced. For example:
While they do have their own propaganda materials, much of their main source of information is based on the King James Bible, both the Old and New Testament. However, the Nation of Yahweh's interpretation is quite different from that of Jews or Christians.
Propaganda materials? Could you get any more POV? Also the use of the term cult is innapropriate in any encyclopedia entry since it is an inherent value judgement. The proper term would be New Religious Movement , often abbreviated as NRM. Of course, of the group in question has been linked to extreme views and activities, you are welcome to document those with cited sources and NPOV language. As it is written, this article should be tagged.Lisapollison 04:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
