I grew up so famliiar with it (including that _The Jerusalem Bible_ was our family Bible) that I never gave it much thought until I read Charles Williams' novel _All Hallows Eve_.
Now, hopefully the CDF will issue a reminder that it is a mortal sin to use the *pronounceable* names of God as expletives.

I grew up more familiar with Jehovah than Yawheh. The only context I even remember noticing that form of the name of God was its use in some of those dreadful "Glory & Praise" hymns - and I use the term "hymns" very loosely.

I was always troubled by this practise in the Jerusalem Bible. It seemed a deliberate sacrilege
Whereas I never saw it as a sacrilege, it was at the very least distracting to me in the Jerusalem Bible (my favorite translation for devotional reading). That is why I was so excited when CTS issued a version of the Jerusalem Bible which replaced all instances of the Name with "LORD".

In a study Bible, use of the name YHWH certainly makes the original sense the text clearer. That doesn't justify its use in a liturgical setting. Using YHWH in hymns is even worse.

It's not necessary even in the case of a study Bible. What many Bibles have done over the years when translating the tetragrammaton is to use "LORD," as opposed to "Lord." Ryan
