Hi Phil,
I'd guess you used Imanuel or the Hebrew form of Jesus?
I'm curious now,  what did you do?
I remember hearing about a family in Russia who were questioned by the
k.g.b. about where they were going.  The father told the officers that
 he was going to meet his brothers and sisters to read their Father's
will.
What is church really about?
