Tradition Trumps Truth: Jehovah - The Recovery's Misnomer - Tomes

I'ts interesting the way the RecV introduction presents it in shades of Hebrews 10: "we don't shrink back" from declaring the name Jehovah, as if every other choice were morally deficient.

How many times did Jesus declare the name Jehovah in the NT, anyway? Even when saying, "I've given them Your name" in John 17, Jesus didn't utter the Name. Did He and his followers deliberately suppress it, only to have the Name unearthed by the Final Prophet for the New and True Church? Seems that way, reading the presentation. "We don't shrink back" from God's present oracle, which is whatever Our Brother thinks today. Whether or not it's founded on anything resembling objective reality is incidental; it's God's present speaking.
