If only witnesses have the truth and only them will be saved, I guess that God doesn't care much for people in India and China (who represent together about half of the world's population).
Out of the 2.5 billion people in both countries combined, how many witnesses can there be?
A rough guess: 1 witness per 100,000 population
He either doesn't care for people there as much or......
just maybe.....
Satan's working harder in those parts of the world!
Yes. But he can't eat a whole one.
Very good point. JW's clearly cannot be not fulfilling Matt 24: 14. The 'end' must still be a long way off.

*** w00 1/15 p. 13 "Keep on the Watch" ***Fifth,
we see a global preaching work being accomplished, which Jesus said would take place just before the end of this system. Jesus stated: "This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) Today, that prophecy is in the course of fulfillment on an unprecedented scale. True, untouched territories still exist, and it may be that in Jehovah’s due time, a large door leading to greater activity will open. (1 Corinthians 16:9) Nevertheless, the Bible does not state that Jehovah will wait until every individual on earth has received a personal witness. Rather, the good news must be preached to Jehovah’s satisfaction. Then the end will come.—Compare Matthew 10:23.

That means that a personal witness isn't that important to attain salvation, or that God doesn't want everybody to be saved.

JAH cares about ALL creation down to the smallest of all creation.......He is aware of mankinds suffering which will come to its final end before Paradise is restored.
Jesus Christ and his followers fulfilled the prophecy once in Jesus day. Since Jesus is the Faithful and True Witness, he will fulfill it again when he arrives in his glory. This holds True since JAH is the only one that knows the Complete Truth, and will prove all men as liars. He will use His son as His True Witness as Jesus is the only one that can Sanctify the name of GOD in ALL Truth.

This fact obviously doesn't fit in with the JW concept about the end of times. God doesn't judge the world in a final and irrevesrsible way as fast and loose as the JWs want, that's just wishful thinking on their part.
Everyone must get an opportunity to hear and abide under ideal conditions ie uncoerced and free from ignorance. These conditions do not exist at present in much of the world.
That means that a personal witness isn't that important to attain salvation, or that God doesn't want everybody to be saved.
What it means is that the WTS doesn't think a personal witness is that important to attain salvation, and that the WTS doesn't want everybody to be saved.
That's because the WTS puts themselves in the place of God, and if they can't do it, God can't do it.

Does God care for people in India and China?
definately not. i think it's pretty obvious that he thinks they're a mistake... i mean, he didn't give them xianity after all! but rather just let
them wallow in heathenism for millenia!
sincerely,
TS
