Truth wasn't needed until these last days. All up to this point died and paid the wages of sin, They cannot rejudged for them. Now one must have truth to be accepted by God-John 4:22-24 and be brought through what is coming to this earth. No convenience involved-Gods will taking place is what occurs. The great apostasy(son of destruction)2 Thess 2:3)= the religion that came out of Rome stood up back then after the followers were murdered off. The religion was murdered off as well until these last days. The protestants did not fix the altered bibles and translation errors. Some tried but weren't accepted. 2 of the greatest atrocities ever=The removal of Gods name in over 7000 places and the error of a capitol G God in the last line at John 1:1- misleading billions to not enter Gods kingdom.

That is clearly untrue. Truth was always needed and prophecy was given in Revelation.
Whether you enter God's kingdom will depend on your works, not the bible translation you use. After all, the Greek church and the apostles used the Greek Septuagint, which also had the name of God removed, and in the old Uncials, all the letters were written in Capitals! I cannot help but think you have been led astray by false doctrines - ancilliary matters of interest to be sure - but not matters of salvation.
It was the Pharisees who put so much emphasis on the strict and particular observances, but they forfeited the Spirit in persecuting others and which is essentially the fault of the JWs in gratuitously condemning all other churches.
As for "god/God" - well there is a problem in our English bibles with Jn 1:1, but as it happens the NWT "a god" translation is not made out as a valid translation of the Greek, just because the word "God" is monadic i.e. the only context where there is more than one God IN HEAVEN is paganism.

Trinity Table
God is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of the Trinity is both biblical and true.

Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?
The Jehovah's Witness organization denies essential Christian teachings on the nature of God, Jesus, the gospel, and more. It is a cult.

Catholicism removed Gods name. Repenting and obeying gets one salvation. God only accepts worship in spirit and truth. Altered versions with Gods name removed mislead out of truth.
Not christian teachings-Catholicism teachings are what is rejected by JW,s. The protestants did not fix what Catholicism did. Most just twisted things even worse. All trinitarians are putting their eternal lives into Catholicism( 2 Thess 2:3) translating. Not a wise place to be standing.Trinity Table

Catholicism did not remove God's name. It was the Greeks who removed God's name, and that was in the apostolic era, and the apostles levelled no such allegations as the JWs make today.
I am sure it was Catholicism who removed Gods name. The apostles didn't know Catholicism. They were all dead prior to her popping up. Catholicism held councils because they lacked truth.
You won't find God's name YHWH in the Septuagint.
The tetragramoton( YHWH) belongs in the OT nearly 6800 spots. Wicked men, by satans will removed Gods name and replaced it with-GOD or LORD in the OT to mislead. They had no right. God willed his name in those spots because he wants it there. I say the wicked keep it out of their translations. As well over 200 spots in NT are quoted from the OT where that name belongs- but titles are in the altered versions-to mislead.
OTOH, God's name is meaningless to anyone else but a Jew. There is no reason to use it. Jesus commanded that those under the New Covenant defer to God as their Father. So it was both Jesus and the apostles who allowed God's name to be replaced, although not forgotten. Mat 23:9 "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
Your silly condemnation of those whom the apostles did not condemn is ridiculous.
John 17:6,26--Jesus promises to keep on making his Fathers name known--He does just that through his real religion and followers.
Do you think that those outside JWs don't know what God's name is?
Yes many know it. But fail to live up to it.
It is only through Christ that living up to God's name can occur. And he taught that God should be referred to as Father.
Heas well taught Gods name to his( John 17:6) and promised to keep on making Gods name known( John 17:26) he does exactly that through his real teachers and followers.
The word "name" is often used to designate the person of God, John 15:21; Matthew 10:22; Romans 2:24; 1 Timothy 6:1.
It is a metonym for God's character.
God put his name in his bible over 7000 places. because he wants his name known, used and glorified. The righteous run to that name like a strong tower. (Prov 18:10)-- Micah 4:5- All people walk in the name of their God. But we will walk in the name of YHWH(Jehovah) forever.
YHWH is metonym for the character of God, but "the name of God" is also a metonym for the character of God. Effectively, they are substitutable.
God is a title-YHWH(Jehovah)is Gods personal name.
Most don't realize when they say-Hallelujah translates-Praise be to Jehovah.
Exo 23:21 "Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him."
Lev 20:3 "And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name."
2Sa 7:13 "He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever."
Jer 34:16 "But ye turned and polluted my name,"
Many examples in the bible of "God's name" being used grammatically in a way that doesn't reflect a literal name, but the reputation, authority and character associated with the name. It is unnecessary for the literal name itself to be bandied about "in your face" and to be on everyone's lips all the time. Neither Jesus nor the Jews styled themselves "Jehova's witnesses." Why?
Consider this about your angel Michael prophecy:
Jer 23:25 "I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed."
