And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har–Ma·ged′on [Meggido Mountain]. -Rev 16:16
It seems the WT has been planning a slow fade for the word "Armageddon" as the word is being mentioned less and less as we get further away from 1914. Could it be that their failed predictions (1914, 1918, 1925, 1975, before 2000) is forcing them to change their membership retention strategy which includes a slow fade of this fear-mongering word? Or could it possibly be that they will eventually admit that 144,000 is just a symbolic number and that JWs will all die and go to heaven after all (with no literal "Battle of Armageddon" taking place)? Whatever the reason, the numbers don't lie and I believe the list below gives us a pretty good indication that the word "Armageddon" is soon to dissapear from WT publications...
