  I'll be honest I grew up in a JW household. It was a long time we stopped going, not because of disbelief, we just stopped. I was never baptized. About a month and a half ago I started studying into to the Trinity and other religions. Some of the scriptures Trinitarians used made me question, because I had never really studied the Bible. After researching into the Trinity's pagan origins and reading the book of John I am not sure how so many could believe Jesus was God. But then I read more

  9 So down the great dragon+ was hurled, the original serpent,+ the one called Devil+ and Satan,+ who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;+ he was hurled down to the earth,+ and his angels were hurled down with him. 12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea,+ because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”+

  The Bible basically says Satan would mislead the Earth when he came here.

  Kyrios or kurios (Ancient Greek: κύριος) is a Greek word which is usually translated as "lord" or "master". In religious usage, it is sometimes translated as God.

  Google search brought me this. It's a title not a name. It is never used in place of the tetragrammton.

  Pete the good news is spread door to door just like Jesus did. Not everyone has a TV/internet. Maybe they don't wouldn't know about the website, if you show up to the door some would have been hearing of it for the first time and at least have an opportunity to learn the truth.

  The other Bibles say LORD. Which is the same thing.

  The Hebrew name "Jehovah" is generally translated in the Authorized Version (and the Revised Version has not departed from this rule) by the word LORD printed in small capitals, to distinguish it from the rendering of the Hebrew Adonai and the Greek Kurios , which are also rendered Lord, but printed in the usual type. The Hebrew word is translated "Jehovah" only in Exodus 6:3 ; Psalms 83:18 ; Isaiah 12:2 ; 26:4 , and in the compound names mentioned below.

  But Jesus and Jehovah did say sanctify the name. So for so many other versions to replace it with a generic lord title makes no sense. And they aren't doing what those two instructed.

  Jesus did say Jehovah's name

  29 Jesus answered: “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah,

  4 “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.

  The seats at my own congregation are full. The one I visited yesterday is a smaller building but enough seats for everyone.
