The poster's concerns were related to a reduction in mentions so therefore the WTS can be used as a barometer against itself.
The poster's 'concern' was predicated on a lie.
(1john2:22,23)who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that jesus is the christ?
this is the antichrist, the one that denies the father and the son.
23 everyone that denies the son does not have the father either.

Nerve hit? By a uni-platformist? Absolutely not! :)
uni-platformist? You obviously don't know me.

references of Jesus to Jehovah in the annual yearbooks
Searching for "Jehovah" in the Yearbooks of Jehovah's Witnesses is hardly a balanced comparison. Nearly half the search results for Jehovah in such a search are in the phrase, Jehovah's Witnesses.
The other main problem is there is no benchmark for how often Jesus 'should' be mentioned.
it's not only springsteen's latest song that is inaccurate, but bethel certainly doesn't look after it's own.. i know it's very easy for us to what to criticise bethel after our experiences, but if we are reasonable with the wbts and approach this with an open mind, can we conlude it's fair how bethelites are treated?.
i know with any company if an employee breaks the rules, they have to leave.
being fair, i can't wave a finger at bethel for telling those who break rules, sin, etc., to leave.

When a person applies for Bethel, Knows very well that one day he or she will leave Bethel with NO qualification. This makes it clear that all who serve in Bethel now, have thought about theier future imploiment.
Spoken like a true Bethel alumnus. Any thoughts about your future "imploiment"?

Reality check for Jeffro:
next time you are at a meeting
The 'next time I'm at a meeting' will be never.
our Lord Jesus Christ ... our Great Teacher and Savior Jesus Christ
Get back to us with your results…..please!
The result is... I don't care. The claim in the OP was a lie, irrespective of any other conclusions that might be drawn from other data.
Jehovah doesn't exist. Jesus, if he ever existed at all, is dead. It hardly matters how much either of them are mentioned. And it is even worse for the OP to lie about it.
(And as stated previously, it's unsurprising that a nontrinitarian religion focuses more on 'God' than 'Jesus'.)
Satanus:
Since virginity is always an issue that is applied to women, not men, in the bible, i would conclude that the 144000 are all women - evidently, logically, standing to reason, and all that;) Yah, christs heavenly bride is 144000 women. Sorry guys, i know this is hard for you to accept. Jesus ain't letting you into his heaven to mess w his virgins. His heaven must have inspired mohammed.
That actually makes more sense (if such a thing is possible) than any other interpretation. The bride... is a... woman. Who'd have thought? Unless JWs are open to Jesus having a same-sex marriage*. But probably not.
*No, Larsinger58. No.
Fernando:
Surely if 144,000 is literal
It's not.
then so are the women
Nope
along with virginity,
Nope
as well as the defilement that results from sex
and... nope. It's basically the ravings of a madman. Let it go.
Larsinger58:
Jeffro, you're very intelligent. So let me tell you this. The Illuminati talk about these "reptillian" people who are so smart.
Uh.... huh...
See how quickly a Lars paragraph can go downhill?!
Larsinger58:
On a spiritual level, the serpent represents the wise people in the world, meaning white people.
Wow, his trash just keeps getting worse.
Not only are you insane, you're also a racist.
Time to up your meds.
zound:
what do the GB explain the 144,000 not having 'defiled themselves with women' parellal.
They pretend it means 'not defiled by the world'. Which is, of course, entirely meaningless.
(and does this not mean that the 144,000 should all be men?)
Why would it mean that?
The '144,000' is just a bunch of superstitious numerology that treats the numbers 1000 and 12 in a special way. It doesn't mean anything useful at all.
Larsinger58:
the "mark of the beast" relates to a core doctrine in the mysteries which is white supremacy. (666=KKKay)
Larsinger58 has reached a new low.
