There is nothing to support the notion that the jws are the chosen ones. So Narrow if you think you got anything, throw it out there. I would love to see that.

Why would God choose JW's over any other religion?

Whom do I choose over all all the others?
I pick you my self-righteous and comatose brothers!
My beloved old farts in Brooklyn will speak for me
We'll get along splendidly!
Celebrate Christmas - yes then no!
You'll be disfellowshipped for saying HO HO HO!
The end was supposed to be in '75...
Well hmm you're all still alive..
So I guess God changed his mind...
Bringing "new light" to lead more of the blind...
Down the path of the borg
They might as well lead you to the morgue.
Because their words lead only one way
Down the path where they prey
Upon your guilt and fear
If you don't get enough hours for the year.
So does Jehovah really count time?
No just the Brooklyn slime.
So please Jah, get me away from this sort
Before I have to fill out my monthly report!

JW's fervently believe that God has chosen them because they believe that they alone teach the main core bible truths. They feel that when Jesus did his inspection in 1914 he choose Russell and co because only they were adhering to these core truths, unlike the rest of Christendom. The earliest Christians had no concept of a trinity, did not believe in a burning hell of fiery torment, did not believe the soul was immortal. These teachings are what makes JW's feel so unique and convince them that they have God's backing. They honestly believe they are a modern day revival of primitive Christianity that is in stark contrast to all other Christian denominations in these matters. There are other groups, like the Christadelphians, for example, that teach similar things as they do, but to the mind of the JW's they are just a shallow imitation. And if you tell a JW that they Christadelphians doctrines are very similar, the typical JW will then resort to a different level of distinction in his mind and say 'oh, but only JW's use God's name Jehovah, and Christadelphians don't believe anyone goes to heaven and they don't believe the devil is real'. If you can convince a JW that the trinity is true, that the human soul is immortal, that hell is a literal place of eternal suffering, that the Kingdom of God is not a government rulership, that there is no future paradise earth to come, then you will convince them that they have nothing over any other religion. Good luck!
