Was the Jehovah's witness bible changed?

In some copies of the Bible, in the introduction, it tells you that the name of God YHWH has been taken out of the Bible. If you look in old versions of the King James Bible it still has the name of God, YHWH or Jehovah, in four places. For instance, Psalms 83:18, and Exodus 6:3. But most Bible translations are taking it out and replacing it with 'Lord.' The Bible replaces the 7,000 times God's name Jehovah was there.
