Yes I do wonder.. I wonder what you are trying to say. I know the Watchtower uses Ps 83:18 to say we have to use the name Jehovah when talking about GOD as if GOD is too dumb to know who we are referring to. In reality, they even admit that Jehovah was not GOD's name but since they had millions of things printed before realizing that, they had to stick with it. Yahweh is far more accurant but in reality GOD has many names but the name HE is most accurately know by is I AM. This is the same name JESUS used for Himself in John 8:24
More important, GOD wants a relationship with us far more then a formal agreement. My kids knew I was their dad long before they knew my NAME!

I see your point, they are called to revere 'The Lord's' name but in every instance it is obscured by the term 'The Lord'
The term "The Lord" is used in most places to substitute the name written approximately in Hebrew as YHVH or YHWH, translated in English variously as Yahweh or Jehovah.
The original concept was that God's name is so holy that it should not be read or spoken by laymen, over time several words substituting God's name have been used each in turn being considered to sacred to pronounce so that another word or term is substituted. You will even see some Jews writing the English word God as G-d, even though the word God refers to his posistion and not his name and is not Hebrew in origin.
It is Ironic that the name of God is so sacred that his so called followers over time have made every effort to blot it out.

so what should you/we wonder about?God is God and he says that he is the one and only God.
Just as stated in Revelation 22:13
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last."
Isiah 41:4
Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning? 'I, the Lord am the first; and with the last I am He"
thx for sharing!

Malachi 2
Admonition for the Priests
1 "And now this admonition is for you, O priests. 2 If you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart to honor my name," says the LORD Almighty, "I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart to honor me.
3 "Because of you I will rebuke [a] your descendants [b] ; I will spread on your faces the offal from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it. 4 And you will know that I have sent you this admonition so that my covenant with Levi may continue," says the LORD Almighty. 5 "My covenant was with him, a covenant of life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name.
