The Vatican gives orders to excise the name from worship. Do Protestants agree? (Jehovah's Witnesses, church)

Read this article the other day. Wanted to see what other believers thought?

Just think.....whatever will Jehovah's Witnesses do???

It perplexes me that after nearly 2000 years this is just now becoming an issue.

I think it's time to get over this nonsense and get on with the important things in life. What's going to be next - banning the utterance of the name "Jesus"? After all, it's the name of our Lord and Savior - the name of our GOD. Is it soon going to be forbidden to say His name?

And though I don't like referring to myself as "Protestant", I'm quickly getting over my interest in becoming Catholic, and I am getting really fed up with having additional rules and regulations being made for the church, and all the changes that constantly take place.

Well, my guess is that Jehovah's Witnesses would NOT stop using His personal name.

When did the God of the "Old Testament" stop being God?

Quite frankly, soemtimes it seems that the Vatican gets a little nutty. But then according to their recent proclaimation, as a Protestant, I am a heretic. So as a heretic, I will continue to worship God by whatever name I see fit.
