Should the Name Jehovah Appear in the New Testament?
by hamilcarr inthis is the title of an article from the august 1st issue of the watchtower (public edition).. it can be downloaded from http://www.jw.org/index.xjp?option=qryqzrqvnznt but is not yet available in print.. the absence of the divine name in nt manuscripts is vaguely described so as not to confuse the average jw reader.
the opening paragraph even gives the uninformed reader the impression that some of those nasty non-jw translators deliberately chose to omit the divine name.
bible scholars acknowledge that god's personal name appears in the old testament or hebrew scriptures.
