That may be, but that is the truth for all varieties of Christianity, especially Catholic. His words are distorted, ignored and miss understood all the time.
Like you said, not many do or are "used" to calling him that. I guess you could say I still call him Jesus to appeal to the broader audience, so they understand. When I pray, though, I call God "Abba, Father", and Jesus "Yeshu'a". Interchangeably, albeit.
I actually smiled when I read that. I was glad that you knew, not many do, so why do you still call him Jesus when you know that is not his name? Just curious.

That's true, but I believe it's because people don't fully match scripture with scripture, instead they match scripture with opinion or what "sounds good" - it's one of the main reasons you have Pre-, Mid-, and Post-Trib views for the Rapture (or Harpazo). People like to go with what sounds good, and not with the truth. I match scripture with scripture, or try to. I guess that's really why there's such division and separation - it depends on how you view the Bible.
They believe Jesus was Michael the Archangel before becoming a man.

"Read carefully the following Bible account: 'War broke out in heaven: Michael [who is the resurrected Jesus Christ] and his angels battled with the dragon'" (You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth, 1982, p. 21).
"To get one's name written in that book of life will depend on one's works, whether they are in fulfillment of God's will and approved by his Judge and King." (Watchtower, August 15, 1972).
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9, NIV)

8 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
