The OT Isaiah and other references are there only to identify the particular God that is being spoken of ... since there were (and are) a plethora acknowledged and worshipped at the time.

BTW I would not regard Byington's translation as independent from the Watch Tower org.
Interestingly, as quoted by you, he translated Isaiah 42:8 as ".. and I will not give my glory to another and my praise to scriptures."
Why "scriptures" instead of graven images or idols as per just about every other translation ?

Jehovah, Lord, God, Yaweh etc are a symbol used for identification not some absolute "personal" name.
You just repeat your same claim but don't address the more important issue that ascribing a "personal" name to the Creator of The Universe is about as disrespectful as it's possible to be.

Lord and God are merely titles. It’s the personal name of God that identifies the only true God.
The author of the Bible and Creator of heaven and earth.
I would not see it being disrespectful in using that name as Christ used it extensively and Jehovah
has seen fit to reveal his name to mankind.
