Jehovah's Witnesses have tirelessly (and uniquely) worked to educate humankind that Almighty God has a personal name, and wants his worshippers to use it.

Any religion which references the Authorized Version of 1611 (otherwise known as the King James Version) also references the name Jehovah. The King James Version uses the name "Jehovah" four times (Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4). A few place-names which include "Jehovah" are also left intact (see Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24).

The shortened form of "Jehovah" is "Jah". KJV uses "Jah" at Psalm 68:4, and within the exclamation "Hallelu-jah" (or "Alleluia"), which literally means "praise Jah" (see Revelation 19:1-6).

You asked a very simple and logical question. And look how many people answered. It just goes to show how so many people who claim to be Christians and God fearing don't even acknowledge God by his real name. Jehovah (psalms 83:18). As far as I know the only religion who uses Gods name on a daily basis and in worship are Jehovah's Witnesses.

The name says it all really:)

Jehovah's Witnesses.

Our name is based on Isaiah 43:10, which says: "You are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that you may know and have faith in me, and that you may understand that I am the same One."

Only Judeo-Christianity,unless you subscribe to the comparative religion speculation that "Jove" and Jehovah derive from the same root.
