"This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘Jehovah the God of YOUR forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to YOU.’ This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation."
-- Exodus 3:15
One of the compelling arguments to me from the Jehovah's Witnesses (the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society) and the Sacred Name movement is that God's Name is to be used in prayer and daily worship. The Bible alludes to Jehovah's Name and it's necessity in many instances.
"O Jehovah our Lord, how majestic your name is in all the earth!"
-- Psalm 8:9
YHWH revealed His Name in the Bible, and Jesus proclaimed the Name of YHWH, or at least hinted at it. I find that the usage of Jehovah's Name in the Watchtower Society actually quite refreshing, and despite the Biblical unitarianism and very pushy doctrinal beliefs that seem to define a stereotype of Christianity in the Sacred Name groups, I applaud their usage of the Divine Name of YHWH God.
"Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified."
-- Matthew 6:9
