"Jehovah" is the English representation of the Tetragrammaton (the personal name of God) which appears nearly 7000 (SEVEN THOUSAND) times in the bible. Sadly, some pretend that the use of God's name is unimportant. Jehovah's Witnesses uniquely appreciate the divine name, in harmony with the bible's teachings.
(Nehemiah 1:11) Jehovah, please, let your ear become attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who take delight in fearing your name
(Luke 11:2) Whenever you pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be sanctified
(James 5:14) Is there anyone sick among you? ...Let them pray over him, greasing him with oil in the name of Jehovah.
The bible teaches that a certain kind of person would disrespect the divine name.
(Psalm 74:18) The enemy himself has reproached, O Jehovah, And a senseless people have treated your name with disrespect.
The bible also teaches what would happen to those who refuse to use and honor the name of Jehovah.
(Malachi 2:2) If you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name," Jehovah of armies has said, "I shall also certainly send upon you the curse
(Psalm 83:16-18) Fill their faces with dishonor, That people may search for your name, O Jehovah. 17 O may they be ashamed and be disturbed for all times, And may they become abashed and perish; 18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
(Isaiah 52:5,6) The utterance of Jehovah, "and constantly, all day long, my name was being treated with disrespect. 6 For that reason my people will know my name
According to the bible, what must ALL people do with regard to Jehovah's name?
(Psalm 29:2) Ascribe to Jehovah the glory of his name.
(Psalm 86:8-9) There is none like you among the gods, O Jehovah, Neither are there any works like yours. 9 All the nations whom you have made will themselves come, And they will bow down before you, O Jehovah, And will give glory to your name.
The bible also teaches that there are real benefits for those who appropriately use the name Jehovah.
(Romans 10:13) Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved
(Acts 2:21) And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.
(Joel 2:32) And it must occur that everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe
(Malachi 3:16) And a book of remembrance began to be written up before him for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thinking upon his name.
(Nehemiah 1:11) Jehovah, please, let your ear become attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who take delight in fearing your name
Who can reasonably be called "a people for Jehovah's name"? What does the bible say about this people?
(Isaiah 43:12) There was among you no strange god. So you are my witnesses," is the utterance of Jehovah, "and I am God.
(Zephaniah 3:9) I shall give to peoples the change to a pure language, in order for them all to call upon the name of Jehovah, in order to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
(Micah 4:5) For all the peoples, for their part, will walk each one in the name of its god; but we, for our part, shall walk in the name of Jehovah our God to time indefinite, even forever.
(Isaiah 52:5-7) The utterance of Jehovah, "and constantly, all day long, my name was being treated with disrespect. 6 For that reason my people will know my name... 7 How comely upon the mountains are the feet of the one bringing good news, the one publishing peace, the one bringing good news of something better, the one publishing salvation
(Malachi 1:11) For from the sun’s rising even to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place sacrificial smoke will be made, a presentation will be made to my name, even a clean gift; because my name will be great among the nations," Jehovah of armies has said.
Here are some additional Scriptures that mention God's personal name. There are THOUSANDS MORE. Do any of these seem to imply that the name "Jehovah" is unimportant?
(Psalm 148:13) Let them praise the name of Jehovah, For his name alone is unreachably high.
(Micah 5:4) He will certainly stand and do shepherding in the strength of Jehovah, in the superiority of the name of Jehovah his God
(Psalm 9:10) And those knowing your name will trust in you, For you will certainly not leave those looking for you, O Jehovah.
(Psalm 34:3) O magnify Jehovah with me, YOU people, And let us exalt his name together.
(Zephaniah 3:12) A people humble and lowly, and they will actually take refuge in the name of Jehovah.
(Revelation 15:4) Who will not really fear you, Jehovah, and glorify your name, because you alone are loyal?. . .
(Micah 6:8,9) And what is Jehovah asking... the person of practical wisdom will fear your name.
(Psalm 96:2) Sing to Jehovah, bless his name.
(Psalm 105:1) Give thanks to Jehovah, call upon his name, Make known among the peoples his dealings.
(Psalm 54:6) I shall laud your name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
(Micah 4:5) For all the peoples, for their part, will walk each one in the name of its god; but we, for our part, shall walk in the name of Jehovah our God to time indefinite, even forever.
(Psalm 118:26) Blessed be the One coming in the name of Jehovah
(Matthew 21:9) Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah's name!
(Matthew 23:39) Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah's name!
(Mark 11:9) Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah's name!
(Luke 13:35) Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah's name.
(John 12:13) Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah's name

YES HE IS AND SOON EVERYONE WILL KNOW IT!
(ISAIAH 43:10)“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. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none. 11 I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.”
12 “I myself have told forth and have saved and have caused [it] to be heard, when there was among YOU no strange [god]. So YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God. 13 Also, all the time I am the same One; and there is no one effecting deliverance out of my own hand. I shall get active, and who can turn it back?”

Yes, Jehovah is the True God. There are many scriptures to prove it.
Some people like to believe that Jesus and Jehovah are one. But how can that be? If this was the case, why would Jesus pray to himself, he can't be in two places at once. Also, when dying on the Stake, why did he cry out, "Father, why have you a bandoned me?" If he was God, he would not have been abandoned.
Another point, At the time of his baptism, a dove descended out of Heaven and a voice was heard, "This is my son, my beloved, whom I have approved".
Jesus also said, that he never spoke of his own accord, every word that issued out of his mouth came from his father, again, if Jesus was God, then he would not have said that because what he spoke was his own words.
There are many other instances that I could quote that would show that there is no doubt that Jehovah is the True God

Yes Jehovah is !!!
Jesus said this himself in prayer to his Father.
John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
Why did Jesus call his Father the only true God? Because Jehovah is the only true God.
In time everyone living on this earth will know that Jehovah is God.

Yes absolutely correct.
Must warn you though about apostates and Anti-Jehovah's Witnesses. They will post a lot of misleading and false information about us, so watch out.

Honestly, I agree with Psalms 83:18, which in turn you seem to agree with.
This Really seems more fitting for Yahoo! 360.
