  I was told it says....While inclining to view the pronunciation “Yah.weh” as the more correct way, we have retained the form “Jehovah” because of people's familiarity with it since the 14th century. Moreover, it preserves, equally with other forms, the four letters of the tetragrammaton JHVH (NWT, 1950 ed., Foreword, p. 25 [note: This admission was removed from the 1961, 1970, 1984 editions of the NWT]).

  My husband wants to see a scan before he will believe this, can anyone help me please...I trashed all my old literature.

  I hope that is satisfactory. The stuff at the bottom of the page is a bit of "read-through" where the scanner is seeing some of the text on the opposite side of the page.

  Compressed version shown here but the link above is for the actual size scan.

  

  You'll also see the same thing in the introductions to BOTH Kingdom Interlinear Translations (1969 and 1985), I think that educ8self is right, it is also in the Divine Name brochure AND it appears in the Watchtower's 1972 "Bible In Living English"
