does anyone know the name of this religion?
I don't know much about the belief structure, but I know that adherents can't say the religion's name. Does anyone know what it's called? Thanks.

P.S. No joke.

1. Sounds similar to Yaweh
Though not quite. Perhaps you simply misheard the rule.

Yaweh was an offshoot of Nation of Islam. Their contention was that the white man was keeping the true name of God hidden from the black people in order to keep them from salvation. They further contended that the white man was literally a devil, complete with tail(they had photographic evidence).

I got to work at a couple of show's of theirs. And it always amused me to say to them "So I can't say the name Yaweh in your presense?"

2. Longshot here .... could it be
TES ?

http://home.att.net/~meditation/TES.html

snip....

"The word 'TES' is a temporary creation, as are all the holy words of ancient scripture. Those words are names used to designate that which is beyond any language. It is just an effort to express that which cannot be expressed by a mountain of scholarly scriptures. No name can stick, and no philosophy can ring perfectly true, because you cannot paste a bumper sticker on a tidal wave. You cannot condense a supernova into a library.

In time all evidence that human animals existed on this earth will be washed away and new civilizations will be born on other worlds to take our place. Those new conscious beings will discover the unity of the TES, which they will call by another name in a language never spoken by any human being. The meaning, however, will be exactly the same.

snip.
