Seeing how Jehovah, Yehovah or Yehowah is grammatically impossible in Hebrew and no Jewish or Hebrew scholar has disputed the origin of this word for hundreds of years. I am pretty confident that's not the name of God. You probably wouldn't make those kind of statements because you don't like to study things out on your own.
Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult and they use a false pronunciation of יהוה I wouldn't use them as a resource. This is like arguing over my name is Shwagga and your name is kyng_james.

TRUE, BUT EVEN CHRISTIAN HAS A JUDGEMENT SEAT COMING..AND NOT MANY CHRISTIANS ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY BY THE LOOK ON HIS FACE. FOR HIS EYES WILL BE LIKE FIRE WHICH IS FIGURATIVE. WHAT THAT MEAN IS HE IS GOING TO JUDGE OUR HEART, ACCORDING TO WHAT WE DONE FOR CHRIST. WHAT WE HEARD, AND DID NOT ACCEPT. WHAT WE SAY AND DID NOT SPEAK THE WHOLE TRUTH. WHAT WE DONE WITH OUR TIME, BRING PEOPLE TO CHRIST, ETC..ETC..DONT NOT BE COMFORTABLE JUST BECAUSE YOU DODGED HELL BUT KNOW THAT WE ARE TO BE CHRIST LIKE. HE SET AN EXAMPLE FOR US AND WE ARE TO FOLLOW IT. THE HARVEST IS GREAT BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW. WE HAVE SUCH A FEW LABORERS AND THAT IS WHAT IS SAD ABOUT THE CHURCHES.

YEHOVAH OR JEHOVAH is grammatically IMPOSSIBLE in Hebrew.. Is that a good enough point? Here, if you want more facts..
"A mispronunciation (introduced by Christian theologians, but almost entirely disregarded by the Jews) of the Hebrew “Yhwh,” the (ineffable) name of God (the Tetragrammaton or “Shem ha-Meforash”
. This pronunciation is grammatically impossible; it arose through pronouncing the vowels of the “ḳere” (marginal reading of the Masorites: = “Adonay” with the consonants of the “ketib” (text-reading: = “Yhwh”—”Adonay” (the Lord) being substituted with one exception wherever Yhwh occurs in the Biblical and liturgical books. “Adonay” presents the vowels “shewa” (the composite under the guttural א becomes simple under the י, “ḥolem,” and “ḳameẓ,” and these give the reading (= “Jehovah”. Sometimes, when the two names and occur together, the former is pointed with “ḥatef segol” () under the י —thus, (=”Jehovah”—to indicate that in this combination it is to be pronounced “Elohim” (). These substitutions of “Adonay”and “Elohim” for Yhwh were devised to avoid the profanation of the Ineffable Name (hence is also written , or even , and read “ha-Shem” = “the Name “.
The reading “Jehovah” is a comparatively recent invention. The earlier Christian commentators report that the Tetragrammaton was written but not pronounced by the Jews (see Theodoret, “Question. xv. in Ex.” [Field, "Hexapla," i. 90, to Ex. vi. 3]; Jerome, “Præfatio Regnorum,” and his letter to Marcellus, “Epistola,” 136, where he notices that “PIPI” [= ΠIΠI = ] is presented in Greek manuscripts; Origen, see “Hexapla” to Ps. lxxi. 18 and Isa. i. 2; comp. concordance to LXX. by Hatch and Redpath, under ΠIΠI, which occasionally takes the place of the usual κύριος, in Philo’s Bible quotations; κύριος = “Adonay” is the regular translation; see also Aquila)."
