Aren't you taking this to a legalistic extreme ?
If knowing JAH was the only, genuine, bonifide, true and proper divinely sanctioned correct name of God - then how come it is only mentioned Halellujah is only mentioned once in the New Testemant ?
We don't read about Halellujah! in the whole New Testament until Revelation 19:,1,4,6 .
You are making a very large deal of something the New Testament waited until the end of 27 books to even mention.
If it was as crucial that everyone only know about JAH as God's name as it was to know that Christ is the Redeemer and died and risen Lord and Savior, like the former matter, it should have been repeated as frequently and as early.

The danger with RJH's dogmatic view of not using the name Jehovah is he's putting himself up as an expert on this, which he's not, and he's taking a dangerous stand in trying to influance others into accepting his view only.
And the big problem with this is God himself has not corrected us with the use of this name. If it were truly wrong and with him wanting us to worship him in a correct manner, he would no doubt have let us know in one way or another that this is not correct.
It is a widely accepted use of his name in most societies as Robbie has shown.
The really big problem here is the confusion the trinity brings to this. It's very hard for these two names " Jesus & Jehovah " to make sense in this trinity.
-Removed-Well I'll personally answer this for you which is now about the "4th time" on this forum. But you may have missed it.
So read this slowly and a few times to get the points here.
But I don't see the confusion here as yes it is by Jesus's sacrifice that we all have the chance for salvation. Without him doing that it would be hard for us because a perfect human life had to be traded for what Adam lost for us.
But before Jesus did that the only chance we has was thru his Father Jehovah. He had our future in his hands and he is the one that started the whole process in motion with us one day having a ransome processed.
This is where his son Jesus stepped in and did what he did.
God himself would not and could not do this as he is a spirit and one that cannot die and be seen by man, ever.
So by his Father setting this up and having his son Jesus do this for us it is by Jesus's actions or name that we all now have a chance to gain salvation.
So lets make this clear once and for all. Only by Jehovahs love for us and Jesus's love for us do we have the chance to live. But without Jehovah starting this whole precess back after Adam sinned do we have this opportunity. Jesus was the one who went thru what he did and his Father tells us to honor him and listen to him for our guidance. Hence Jesus is called the "Word" or God's spokesman. And we do listen and honor him with our whole hearts.
But........to put this in perspective we do not pray to Jesus. Jesus said we are only to pray to HIS FATHER but thru him ( Jesus ) as he is now our mediator to his Father Jehovah.

-Removed-Yes but did you not read my last post? It explains it all.
But to try once again, Jehovah is putting his son Jesus up as our King and it is to him that we honor above all other CREATIONS and are answering to at this time.
But this does not usurp Almighty Jehovah God's finale authority. If for some reason beyond our understanding and comprehension Jesus were to somehow decide to go beyond what his Father Jehovah wishes, commands or plans for this earth, then Jehovah is God Almighty and would stop anything from happening that would change his laws and plans. I am 10000000000000000000000% without a doubt that something like that will never happen but you need to understand that Jesus for all he's done for his Father and for us......... is still #2 in line from Jehovah. We do not worship Jesus ever as Jesus told us in YOUR bible.
Do you get that point?

So don't be telling me that it is not in the Holy Bible until Revelation. YAH is
also "I AM" in English and Who Jesus claimed to be. The JW's do not call on
the name of Jesus (YAHshua) to be saved. They call upon upon a man-made
name that has no meaning. Even though Jesus is not correct because it is a
transliteration from two different languages, it does stand for the Savior's
name. It is a very big deal, my friend.

There is no person by the name of Jehovah.
