Hi Doug,
Jesus was generally only mentioned once at the end, because JWs always have to end their prayers with a secret pass-phrase:
"We ask this all in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
------------
I did notice this when I
studied with JWs and they opened the study with a prayer.
As to Jesus, Jehovah and the Organization, I have no doubt who it is they (JWs) are tricked into worshipping, I was wondering how anyone could justify this lack of prayer among "God's people".
They claim to follow the bible and Jesus speaks of prayer to God but I never see prayer mentioned in their mags. Wondered what sort of explanation would be offered for this........
I did catch those posts of yours but they only address the WT deity issue, not really the prayer thing(or lack thereof). I may be simple at times (hey, I partied a LOT in my younger days) but I do have some retention.
You decide!

I did long ago.
Thanks
