The org knowingly lies when it comes to scriptures, so they won't have any qualms lying about their recruitment statistics.

.....with the name "Jehovah."
In all my years, I've never seen such overkill in any JW publication. Is the org worried about something?
Maybe these scriptures slipped the minds of the Writing Committee:
Christians were to be witnesses of Christ, not Jehovah:
(Matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness....
(Mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for my sake, for a witness to them.
(Luke 24:48) You are to be witnesses of these things.
(John 1:15) (John bore witness about him, (Jesus)
(John 5:37) And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me.
(John 8:18) ...bears witness about myself, and the Father..bears witness about me.”
(John 15:26, 27) ....bear witness about me; and you, in turn, are to bear witness....
(Acts 1:8) ..witnesses of me in Jerusalem,.....the most distant part of the earth.”
(Acts 9:15, 16) But the Lord said to him: “Go! because this man is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel. For I will show him plainly how many things he must suffer for my name.”
(Acts 10:39) And we are witnesses of all the things he did.......
(Acts 10:43) To him (Jesus) all the prophets bear witness....
(Acts 13:31) .......These are now his witnesses to the people.
(Acts 22:15) because you are to be a witness for him (Jesus) to all men......
(Acts 22:20) and when the blood of Stephen your witness...
(Acts 23:11) ....witness about me in Jerusalem,.....also bear witness in Rome.”
(Acts 26:16) .....a witness .....................respecting me.
(1 Corinthians 1:6) ...the witness about the Christ has been made firm among you,
(1 Timothy 2:6, 7) ...this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time.
(2 Timothy 1:8) ....the witness about our Lord.......
(1 John 5:9) ....this is the witness God gives, the witness.....about his Son.
(Revelation 1:9) ......bearing witness concerning Jesus.
(Revelation 12:17) ....have the work of bearing witness concerning Jesus.
(Revelation 17:6) ......and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.
(Revelation 19:10) ....witnessing concerning Jesus...the witness concerning Jesus...”
(Revelation 20:4) ...for the witness they gave about Jesus......
......and Christians were never told to do anything in/for God's name. Christ's name was to be their focus:
(Matthew 5:11) “Happy are you when people...say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake.
(Matthew 12:21) Indeed, in his name nations will hope.”
(Matthew 10:22) And you will be hated by all people on account of my name,......
(Matthew 18:5) …receives one such young child on the basis of my name receives me also.
(Matthew 18:20) For where there are two or three gathered together in my name,....
(Matthew 19:29) .......for the sake of my name......will inherit everlasting life.
(Matthew 24:5) ...for many will come on the basis of my name,...
(Matthew 24:9) .......and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.
(Mark 9:37) ...on the basis of my name....
(Mark 9:39) ….will do a powerful work on the basis of my name...
(Mark 13:6) Many will come on the basis of my name,...
(Luke 9:48) Whoever receives this young child on the basis of my name receives me also.
(Luke 9:49) ….we saw someone expelling demons by using your name.
(Luke 10:17) “...even the demons are made subject to us by the use of your name.”
(Luke 21:8) ...for many will come on the basis of my name,...
(Luke 21:12) ......brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
(Luke 21:16, 17) .......and you will be hated by all people because of my name.
(Luke 24:47) ...and on the basis of his name, repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nations.
(John 2:23) .....many people put their faith in his name........
(John 5:27, 28) .....in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice..
(John 14:26) But the helper, the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name,
(John 15:16) ......no matter what you ask the Father in my name,
(Acts 2:38) Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
(Acts 3:6) In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!”
(Acts 4:10) .....in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,
(Acts 5:40) . . .and ordered them to stop speaking on the basis of Jesus’ name.
(Acts 5:41) ....counted worthy to be dishonored in behalf of his [Jesus'] name.
(Acts 9:14-16) .....all those calling on your name.....he must suffer for my name.”
(Acts 10:48) .....he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
(Acts 11:26) ..........the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.
(Acts 16:18) “I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.”
(Acts 19:5) On hearing this, they got baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
(Acts 21:13) ...but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.....
(Acts 22:16) ....get baptized, and wash your sins away by your calling on his name.’
(1 Corinthians 6:11) ...been declared righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(2 Corinthians 5:15) .....no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them.
(Philippians 2:10) .....so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend......
(Hebrews 13:15) Through him (Jesus) let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that make public declaration to his* name.
(Revelation 2:3) ....and you have borne up for my name’s sake...
(Revelation 2:13) ......and yet you keep on holding fast my name,. . .

Study WT - January 2024: Basic TRUTHS dispel the LIE
by BoogerMan instudy watchtower, p. 10 par.
6 - "a ransom is a price that is paid to buy something back.
(true!

@ Sea Breeze - According to Matt.20:28, Jesus replaced Adam as mankind's "eternal father," by his ransom.
Adam's act brought death to the whole of mankind - individually and collectively - while Jesus' act restored what was lost, life.
1 Corinthians 15:45) “The first man Adam became a living person.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit."
The point of the post was to state the obvious - no one with 2 brain-cells could ever claim with a straight face that a ransom ever buys back far more than what was lost. (except of course a cult!)

Study Watchtower, p. 10 par. 6 - "A ransom is a price that is paid to buy something back. (True!) When he sinned, he forfeited the prospect of everlasting life not only for himself but also for (nearly) all his children. (True!) In order to buy back what Adam lost*, Jesus offered his own perfect life as a sacrifice. (True!) At the time of his death, Jesus’ perfect life corresponded exactly to the life Adam lost." (True!)
*Despite these Biblical facts, the org dismisses them all with their narrative that Jesus' life exceeded the value of Adam's life and will generously promote 1000's of Adam's descendants to the status of immortal, Melchizedek king/priests! (no mention of this huge anomaly in the article, though) 🤣

Hitchins Razor - "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."
Which Bible verse/s conclusively prove the following claims?
w16 November p. 30 par. 14 - Malachi 3:1-3 describes the time—from 1914 to early 1919—when the anointed “sons of Levi” would undergo a period of refinement.....In 1919, a “faithful and discreet slave” was appointed to provide spiritual food to the household of faith.
w16 March p. 29 par. 2 - Then, in 1919, Jesus appointed “the faithful and discreet slave” over God’s cleansed people to give them spiritual “food at the proper time.”
w15 3/15 pp. 21-22 par. 9 - In the time of the end, particularly from 1919 on, Christ’s faithful anointed slaves on earth have been doing business with the Master’s talents.
ws chap. 8 p. 67 par. 5 - In 1919 the anointed disciples of the reigning King, Jesus Christ, did enter into an approved condition...
w90 3/15 p. 14 par. 21 - In 1918, when Jesus Christ inspected those claiming to be his slaves, he found an international group of Christians publishing Bible truths...In 1919 it truly turned out to be as Christ had foretold....

@ BIGDOG: In the Greek, the word for "slave" can also be translated as "a servant" or "attendant." "https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g1401/kjv/tr/0-1/
The org of course much prefers "slave" when applying it to themselves.
R & F JW's are the real slaves!

WRONG Bible wordings #3
by BoogerMan in3) 1 timothy 2:5 - for there is one god, and one mediator between god and men, a man, christ jesus.... wtbts: this is another example of not enough information being supplied by the apostle paul.
he should have written, "for there is..one mediator between god and only 144,000 men...".
the org's type/antitype of the exodus foreigners & the other sheep not being in the 2 covenants and not having jesus as their mediator is totally debunked by deuteronomy 29:10-15 & ezekiel 47:21-23. .
