Hi b-hebrew,
To be clear, the verses below are examples where the NWT did NOT use their
own
methodology because it would be discomfiting to their doctrinal position.
Jehovah
is inserted to show what the verses would look like if they were consistent,
and
those who are familiar with JW doctrine will understand how their doctrine
drove
their translation.

According to their own grammatical rule, haAdohn [] is translated as Jehovah
at 1 Corinthians 4:19 and 1 Corinthians 7:17. .....the New World Bible
Translation Committee did not follow their own rule at 1 Corinthians 11:23,
Philippians 2:11, or Luke 24:34.
1 Corinthians 12:3
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God
calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is Jehovah, but by
the Holy Ghost.
Philippians 2:11
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Jehovah, to the
glory of God the Father.
Luke 24:34
Saying, Jehovah is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
John 20:28
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Jehovah and my God.
