UnDisfellowshipped.
This is a good topic.
Probably, since there are too many examples, I can't introduce easily.
A "collection of links" on my website shows some of those links.

Some more interesting facts about OTHER religions using and preaching the Name of JEHOVAH:
* The CGI Ten Commandments movie starring Christian Slater as Moses used the Name JEHOVAH in it.
* The American Standard Version (1901 Bible Translation) uses the Name JEHOVAH about 6,000 times in the Old Testament.
* The Living Bible (Paraphrase by Kenneth Taylor) uses the Name JEHOVAH throughout the Old Testament.
* The King James Version (1611 "Authorized Version") uses the Name JEHOVAH in about 6 places in the Old Testament.
* The Bible in Living English (by Steven Byington) uses the Name JEHOVAH throughout the Old Testament.
* The Holy Bible (translated by Robert Young) uses the Name JEHOVAH throughout the Old Testament.
* The New English Bible uses the Name JEHOVAH in a couple of verses.
* Many other Bible Translations use the Name JEHOVAH in certain key verses such as Psalm 83:18 or Exodus 3:14-15.

Probably, if you do not stick to the form of "Jehovah" in particular, there are more examples.
Well, "The Living Bible" uses the name of "Jehovah" because it is based on the "ASV"(1901).
There is almost nothing that uses "Jehovah" in the latest translations.
Furthermore, the fact is that JW's organization is printing the Bibles of the "KJV", "ASV", and the "Byington."
Therefore, it is meaningless even if you say that to JWs.

Different priestly groups were responsible for composing different parts that now make up the Hebrew Scriptures. One group used the name YHWH while other groups did not, and called him EL.
This means that there are parts of Scripture - for example the very first chapter - that come from the group that did not use the name YHWH, and there are other parts which are written by people who did think YHWH was the right thing to do. So much for the WTS's high-handed self-praise.
The people who used YHWH took some ideas from EL, such as giving YHWH a wife, and worshiping her as well. They all took ideas from their neighbours; perhaps the first monotheists were the Zoroastrians of Persia, maybe the origins for Abraham.

Other examples of `christians`of various denominations around the world are renditions of the song " Jehovah is He " on u-tube.

Jehovah is actually a hybrid use of the tetragramaton.
There are plenty of groups who believe that God has a name and that it is of great importance to use it. Many of these groups just can't agree on the correct rendering of that name.
It has been said that Judge Rutherford may have given birth to what is now known as the "Sacred Name Movement"

the name Jehovah comes from the traditions of men and not of the Almighty. It's a nickname that was added to a translation. Check your interliniar
In Search of Christian Freedom, by Ray Franz, page 489, footnote number 1:
Scholars recognize that "Jehovah" is not an accurate rendering of the Tetragrammaton; many believe "Yahweh" comes closest to the correct pronunciation of the Hebrew. In its original "Foreword", the Watch Tower's New World Translation stated: "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". See New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures, page 25.
Now, let's give the floor to the Jewish Encyclopaedia (http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=206&letter=J&search=jehovah
A mispronunciation (introduced by Christian theologians, but almost entirely disregarded by the Jews) of the Hebrew "Yhwh," the (ineffable) name of God (the Tetragrammaton or "Shem ha-Meforash"). This pronunciation is grammatically impossible; it arose through pronouncing the vowels of the "?ere" (marginal reading of the Masorites:
The reading "Jehovah" is a comparatively recent invention. The earlier Christian commentators report that the Tetragrammaton was written but not pronounced by the Jews (see Theodoret, "Question. xv. in Ex." [Field, "Hexapla," i. 90, to Ex. vi. 3]; Jerome, "Præfatio Regnorum," and his letter to Marcellus, "Epistola," 136, where he notices that "PIPI" [= ΠIΠI = see also Aquila).
"Jehovah" is generally held to have been the invention of Pope Leo X.'s confessor, Peter Galatin ("De Arcanis Catholicæ Veritatis," 1518, folio xliii.), who was followed in the use of this hybrid form by Fagius (= Büchlein, 1504-49). Drusius (= Van der Driesche, 1550-1616) was the first to ascribe to Peter Galatin the use of "Jehovah," and this view has been taken since his days (comp. Hastings, "Dict. Bible," ii. 199, s.v. "God"; Gesenius-Buhl, "Handwörterb." 1899, p. 311; see Drusius on the tetragrammaton in his "Critici Sacri, i. 2, col. 344). But it seems that even before Galatin the name "Jehovah" had been in common use (see Drusius, l.c. notes to col. 351). It is found in Raymond Martin's "Pugio Fidei." written in 1270 (Paris, 1651, iii., pt. ii., ch. 3, p. 448; comp. T. Prat in "Dictionnaire de la Bible," s.v.). See also Names of God.
The pronunciation "Jehovah" has been defended by Stier ("Hebr. Lehrgebäude") and Hölemann ("Bibelstudien.," i.).
The use of the composite "shewa" "?atef segol" (i.e.,

Catholics also recognize "Jehovah" as "the name of God in the Old Testament". Which is to say they make the same mistake.
Other religions may use the name Jehovah, but no other faiths throw it in your face the way JWs do. Then to research it and find the truth, and then have to still say how Jehovah is the right way is a tough sell. don't ya think?
