TTWYSF Our Bible is different in that Gods name is not replaced with a generic title. When first starting a personal study with someone they can use whatever bible they want.

Do You Remember When JWs Relished Explaining Their Beliefs?

There seem to be two main reasons. First, many claim that the name should not be used because the original way to pronounce it is unknown today. Ancient Hebrew was written without vowels. Therefore, no one today can say for sure exactly how people of Bible times pronounced YHWH. However, should this prevent us from using God’s name? In Bible times, the name Jesus may have been pronounced Yeshua or possibly Yehoshua—no one can say for certain. Yet, people the world over today use different forms of the name Jesus, pronouncing it in the way that is common in their language. They do not hesitate to use the name just because they do not know its first-century pronunciation. Similarly, if you were to travel to a foreign land, you might well find that your own name sounds quite different in another tongue. Hence, uncertainty about the ancient pronunciation of God’s name is no reason for not using it.

Live saving work. I've seen on this forum, even when someone bashes the religion they atleast admit the people of it are good.

I do not understand many posters here...why go to the KH if you dislike the religion so much? You think it's okay to bash it on here and it's private? Jehovah knows all

Well most Bibles have the name Jehovah in it, it's the most agreed upon. In the new system this name may look different again who knows, everyone may speak a different language. For now we take the most agreed upon name and tell others about it like Jesus said to.

Never a jw A lot of stuff said from the article aren't even prophecies. I don't know everything but yes Jehovah did tell Adam upon eating the fruit he would die. Obviously he didn't mean that exact day or his goal of getting the earth inhabited wouldn't happen.
Another says Cain was a fugitive but still had a good life. You do realize Jehovah gave Cain some kind of mark that if anyone struck down Cain they would receive punishment.
