Definitions by Downstrike

The divine name of God, as used in the English language. From the ancient Hebrew, which had no vowels, YHVH or JHVH. Other languages use similar spellings.
The name Jehovah is so fearsome to some people that they went to the trouble to remove it from His own book. They alternate between the excuses, that we don't know the original pronunciation of God's name, and that God's name is Jesus, when in fact, Jesus isn't the original pronunciation of Yeshua's name and that doesn't seem to bother them.

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom", (Ps. 111:10), so fearing His name is fine. However, how is one to gain further wisdom when one fears fear itself more than one fears Jehovah?

evangelizing secularists 

Proponents of the myth of the Separation of Church and State who, suffering from Jehovahphobia, do their level best to eliminate any reference to religion, especially Christian religion, from public life.
In the U.S., it's unconstitutional to pass any "law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Therefore, evangelizing secularists persuade the courts to set precedents that have the effect of regulating religion and the free exercise thereof.
v. To move a phone number from one carrier or type of service to another; p.t., ported.

n. The act of porting a number.
I got a cell phone and ported the landline number to my cell phone. It was only supposed to take a week or so to port the number, but it took two months, instead.

The port went through yesterday, only no one bothered to tell me. I've had my cell phone turned off most of the time since no one could call it any way until the number is ported, so when I turned it on this morning it suddenly had four voice mails waiting.

Make Love Not Spam 

The anti-spam screensaver from Lycos UK. It's illegal to operate in many places, because it commits DDoS attacks. Any reputable ISP would cancel your Internet account for using it, as well.
The Make Love Not Spam screensaver uses your computer's idle time to commit Distributed Denial of Service attacks against spammers' servers, so the spammers are retaliating with DDoS attacks against the server that offers the screensaver download.

screensaver

A piece of software, usually something lame that was installed by default with your OS, that takes over when your PC thinks you're not using it any more.
Some screensavers are cute, like Viking Kittens, and some have a purpose, like Make Love Not Spam, but most are just unimaginative lameness that installed by default with sWindles.
