Watkins: I remember reading somewhere a quote that stated that although 'Yahweh' was probably the closest to the ancient pronunciation of the tetragramaton, since 'Jehovah' was so widely recognised, they were sticking with the most popular - truth be damned!
My favorite place to find your quote above is in the forward to the 1950 NWT....They spend a lot of time explaining the use of the name Jehovah, but never once explain it was was added to places not quoted. I have only found it in that one WT I cited. info on its way by pm.....oompa
