The divine name was used by Jesus on sever occasions. Even the King James Version has been revised to include it over 6K times.
That's what the Org tells you. Look at the original Greek. You'll see what I am talking about.
i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.

I appreciate what you are doing so please take this with a grain of salt. Many on this forum have been hurt in one way or another by the organization. It's too bad because there are some genuinely good people in the organization like yourself, but there are also some real butt brains.
Personally even with all the bad things the org has done and continues to do I still love God. I don't like using the name "Jehovah" though as Jesus never used that name and with a little research you'll see that that's probably not the way the divine name would be pronounced. Love for Him moves me to not use a name that very well could be wrong. Don't know about you but it would be highly disrespectful and unloving to mispronounce a persons name. How much more so with regards our Heavely Father?

"So they need so many KHs built, right!! Well how does the sudden cry for KH mortgages forgiven May of 2014 with the congregations sending in all money but $5000.00 justify itself.
RBC fire sale of tools now to LDC, where is all the money going!!! IF they need so many KHs going, they should be on a building frenzy not on a fire sale of tools and moratorium of KH projects."
Maybe they are making the new halls with
Legos???

after 1975, the vast majority remained as though nothing has happened.
but some left the organization.
however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..
Personally the problem with wtbts is eventually you may have to work out with Tight Pants Tony.
Just keep that in mind....
stopped in tim horton's ( a donut shop) at 10:00 a m today and there were no less than 12 jws in there from three different car groups.
it took about 25-30 minutes for them all to get their orders and get on their way.
that's almost 6 hours of service time in the glorious 'ministry'.
"Between the glazed look on the householders faces and the holes in their doctrines, donuts are often the first thing JW's think of when they're out in service."
LOL!! Sadly that statement is truer than one would think.
