the type of car, the "Jeep", i was wondering where that name originates from.

Jeep came from "G.P."
G.P. stands for the "General Purpose" vehicle in the military.
The GP sounds like "Jeep" and was adopted as such when the "GP" was introduced to the civilians.

What Does Jeep Mean

There are two answers to this question and both reinforce each other. The most obvious and first to come into general practice was the short form of "General Purpose" or GP to which the slang was Jeep. The 1/4 ton 4wd open vehicle with fold up windshield with canvas and bows top was used for many things in the military, it's primary development and distribution around WWII, from hauling mail to generals to wounded to ammunition to food rations to just about anything that would fit.
The second answer was due to the affection and respect for it's agility and it's generally handy-to-have-around was from the Popeye cartoon character during that period. It was the almost mythical performance of both the vehicle and the character that drew affection and the adoption of the name, "Jeep."

nothing really. you could say "just empty every pocket" because thats what you do when you own a jeep. you put all your money into it so you can take it to moab. i'm lucky, i live only a few hours away. there are a few misconseptions about the terminology used. GP was just what it was called, it did not mean "general purpose". it was the used for length. there where others like the GA GB and so on. GP's where the size a cj5. another is that ford was the original company that started producing them. which again is wrong. they where first made by AM General. which was later bought out by General Motors. ford only produced them during World War II, along side of chrysler, kieser and a few other people. ford was the largest producer of the GP. Chrysler bought the rights to jeep in 80's i believe, and is the current owner of jeep... sorry for the little history lesson..

Bob needs to get his history right,the Jeep was produced for WWII by Willys Overland and Ford only.Willys made most of them in Toledo,Oh.Bantam came up with the ideal but Willys got it up to production faster and had a better 4cyl engine.The assembly plant in Toledo,Oh was the longest running auto assembly plant in the world untill 2006 when production of the Jeep Wrangler was moved to the new Toledo Parts Supplier Plant,AM General had nothing to do with it.

To me, worship is putting something or someone first in your life. That is the reason people can worship their job, their money, their family, their "belly", etc. And that is reason people can give worship to those other than Jehovah. But when Jehovah is first is your life, it is to him that you pray, that you sing about, that you speak about, that you read about, that you live for, that you long for, that you look forward to listening to and about, that you seek the approval of, that you study about, that you teach about, that you reach out to. He is your other half in a spiritual relationship. And spirituality cannot be complete without that other half. The definition of worship is multi-faceted, as are the expressions of worship. We speak of "worshiping in many ways". And that is correct. I don't mean all forms of worship are acceptable. But that our worship takes on different facets or expressions. We can't sing and study at the same time. But both are worship. We can't study and pray at the same time. But both are worship. There is more, but I will stop here.
