    I think that they are from active JW?s ---> So, Why they made a different translation than the NWT? , I don?t know. ---> Does they obey to their ?Government Body"?

    Although there are no existing ancient Bible (Greek Scripture) manuscripts that contain the full name Jehovah, there are five reasons why we (and certain other Bible scholars and translators) believe that it existed in the original text. They are:

    Those great Bible scholars in Brooklyn.

    The Name is found in many of the Hebrew Scripture texts that are quoted by Jesus and his disciples (but it isn?t found in the existing Greek texts now).

    And how are they sure it was in Greek texts then?

    Jesus mentioned God?s having a Name in ?The Lord?s Prayer,? and at John 5:43, 10:25, 12:13, 17:26, and in numerous other places.
    That's not evidence of anything. Sure, Jews know that God has a name. But that doesn't mean it is gets written or spoken. Ever heard of Hashem? Same thing with kurios.

    eh, actually the name "Jehovah" isn't used by just Jehovah's witnesses as they claim. So it could just be some other bible thumper coming and trying to use the name...
