It is my understanding that each Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) in a Darlington configuration needs 0.7 volts input at it's base in order to switch on.

Everything I read says that for a Darlington pair, the input of the first transistor needs to be 1.4v (0.7 times two, one for each transistor).

I'm sure it's because I just don't understand the circuit/process, but it seems to me that 0.7 to the front transistor should turn that transistor on. Once it's on, the current passing through it would provide the necessary 0.7v to turn on the second transistor. So it seems to me that 0.7 at the first base should turn on the entire Darlington pair, but like I say, the docs I've found says you have to have 1.4v.

Can someone explain what I'm missing in my understanding?

Thanks!

As many of you know, the name YHWH is scattered liberally throughout the Tanakh ("Old Testament"), but most English translations intentionally hide this name behind the phrase "the LORD" (or intentionally mangle it into the man-made "Jehovah").

YHWH specifically said in Exodus 3:15 about this name, "This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation". He has also stated that we are not to add/remove/change his Word.

These mistranslations violate both of these principles.

Do you think Bible translators/publishers will be held accountable for corrupting God's word, or are these things just "non-issues"?

When Jesus was tempted by Satan three times, his response each time was to quote scripture from Deuteronomy. Does anyone know if there's any significance to his quoting only from Deuteronomy rather than perhaps also from other places in the Tanakh? In other words, is there perhaps some subtle innuendo of meaning that we as Westerners don't "get" that perhaps an Eastern-minded Jew of the time would get intuitively?
