[B-Greek] question

I am doing some work concerning the Jehovah's Witnesses since a dear
friend and family I am acquainted with are caught up in this cult and I
wonder if it would be appropriate for me to ask a question here. I'll ask
it and then someone can tell me...I hope..if it wasn't an appropriate
question.
Quoting from the book "Questions for Jehovah's Witnesses," 
"A footnote in the New World Translation on 1 Cor. 11:23 informs us that
John Christian Reichardt's 1846 version of THE NEW TESTAMENT in
Hebrew(J14) uses the tetragrammaton YHWH in place of LORD. What Franz
does not tell you is that Reichardt also uses the tetragrammaton in place
of LORD at 1 Cor. 12:3. Would it not be equally true and applicable here?
Therefore, 1 Cor. 12:3 should read: "AND NOBODY CAN SAY : "JESUS IS
YAHWEH!" EXCEPT BY HOLY SPIRIT."

I guess I'm asking if the tetragrammaton should or could be used in these
verses and if so why isn't it used in the NASB?
Thank you for your time and consideration !
