Jews traditionally say there were seven names. One of these names was YHWH. The letters YHWH are named in Hebrew Yod-Heh-Waw-Heh. The Jewish Encyclopaedia states: "Of the names of God in the Old Testament, that which occurs most frequently (6,823 times) is the so-called Tetragrammaton, Yhwh ( ), the distinctive personal name of the God of Israel. Prior to the time of Jesus, mainline Judaism came to believe that YHWH, the divine name of God, was too sacred to be uttered, and the ineffable name stopped being uttered aloud. "There is almost universal consensus among scholars today that the sacred Tetragrammaton (YHWH) is to be vocalized and pronounced Yahweh.
Jews recognise the divine name in modern times as Yahweh. ""As Jah. " This is attested to by a number of English Biblical references. Egyptian hieroglyphics contain written vowels.

Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs. The beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses are based on the Bible teachings of Charles Taze Russell—founder of the Bible Student movement—and successive presidents of the Watch Tower Society, Joseph Franklin Rutherford and Nathan Homer Knorr.[1][2][3] Since 1976 all doctrinal decisions have been made by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses,[4] a group of elders at the religion's Brooklyn headquarters.
These teachings are disseminated through The Watchtower magazine and other publications of Jehovah's Witnesses, and at conventions and congregation meetings.[5] Jehovah's Witnesses teach that the present age of human existence is about to be terminated by the direct intervention of Jehovah (God), who will use Jesus Christ to fully establish his heavenly government over earth, destroying existing human governments and non-Witnesses,[6][7][8] and creating a cleansed society of true worshippers.

JW’s believe that this is a demon created doctrine based on the fact that the word does not appear in the Scriptures. Nowhere in the Scriptures is even any mention made of a trinity. (Let God Be True, 1946 [1952 rev.], p. 111) The obvious conclusion is, therefore, that Satan is the originator of the Trinity doctrine. Note: The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible and neither does omnipresence, omniscience, Jehovah and many other words we use to help us understand and describe God. Notice that that JW’s misdefine that definition of the Triunity as three gods in one god (Let God Be True, 1946 ed., p. 100). “There can be no compromise with God’s truths.
