I was perusing the index of Bible words in the back of the NNWT and found it interesting that the name Jesus has only one scripture listed. The title Christ has five. The name Satan has twelve. And the title devil has eleven.
Even the term "menstrual" has more listings than the name Jesus.
Seems to me like Jesus and Christ would have been referred to more times than Satan and devil or even menstruation by writers claiming to be Christian!
The WT does not like Jesus of Nazareth because His words condemn them.
If it were possible, they would kill him off again.

Thanks the searcher... Marked.
I grabbed the NWT that was closest to me (1984 revised) and counted 8 references to Jesus and 12 to Christ.......more evidence of the dumbing down of the rank and file....reduce their cross reference capabilities and stuuf their heads full of J-dub garbage.
Wow,,,
Wow! interesting indeed.
