In order to honor the Name, it is not completely spelled out in the event the carrying document is destroyed. That is my understanding. Honestly I was annoyed by this practice for a while, thinking it was extra Biblical. I needed to get over it to be in unity with the congregation leadership and not offend. It is not prohibited by scripture and it
is respectful to others that may get offended. Thanks for asking.
Honest question: can you explain why God is spelled as G-d or g-d? I have only ever seen that among Jews.
