They are trying an easy way???
What puzzles me is an unusual approach of the WTS to God's name.
They love God so much, they have done wonderful work by 'restoring' His name in the Bible and they managed to spread Jehovah's name to half population of the world.
The small trouble is, they used wrong... name.
All nations, media. newspapers are trying hard to honor heads of states and despite some certain language difficulties they are getting very close to proper pronunciation of names different than in English.
Interesting point is, that they do care!!!
They are polite and they do make some sincere research to use some one name because they do not want to offend anyone, be accused of a lack of courtesy and what is the mostimportant thing IMHO, they try hard to address certain people so we would have not the slightest doubts about whom they are talking about.
(One guy is in the world they do not care about proper pronunciation.
Usama Bin Ladin or Osama Bin Laden or... whoever he is. They do not care.;-)
In case of names the world corrupted media are acting quiet decently.
Look at the God's Organization now, and their attitude to God's name!
Most experts agreed up today, that the best form of Divine Name was Yahweh or Yahu-shua.
Jehovah does not sound similar to any of these.
Of course WTS has mocked hypocrisy of churches for adherences to their traditions, but if God's name case, they do use TRADITIOONAL English mutant name!
This is so important, because God Himself have chosen the name. How, an organization, claiming that they do love God above anything, can do something as low and spread to whole world the name, which in some languages sound even obscene!?
What is worse, the world has ALMOST adopted that new name and it
is used even in move Indiana Jones or some quizzes!
The real God's name was still unknown to most people on the face of the world!
All the preaching work is wasted!!!!

I'm glad that they worked out only half population of the world. it took them nearly 130 years to do so. Hmmm.... another 130 years to preach Armageddon?
"A sixteenth century German Christian scribe, while transliterating the Bible into Latin for the Pope, wrote the Name out as it appeared in his texts, with the consonants of YHVH and the vowels of Adonai, and came up with the word JeHoVaH, and the name stuck".
It is not important how the Name came out to the world.
The most important things are:
1. WTS should start with RIGHT name. It's this not obvious!
2. Since WTS is 'directed' by YHWH, they are, as FDS, the only
SOURCE of vital information which comes from YHWH. Naturally,
I would expect that YHWH gave Himself His unique name, He cares about it and He would give His name in proper form to His FDS!
I CAN NOT SEE ANY OTHER SCENARIO.
IF the WTS is God's Organization, such information about the name of
God should come ONLY from the WTS!!!
If date of Armageddon would be announced, it should come from WTS, no one else!!!
Any information, (Of course correct one.) about YHWH and His purpose or plans, should come ONLY from WTS.
If it does not, than WTS is just another corrupted man's made attempt to serve God. Nothing else! And in such case, they do not have any authority over ANY JW or any other person in whole world!
That's why IMHO that information about YHWH is so important and official report from WTS is urgently required to clarify the subject.
Peace...
