What proof is there that the JWs were chosen by Jehovah to be a "People for His Name"?
Growth in numbers is not proof, other religions also have displayed such growth over the last 100 years.
Material prosperity is not proof as other religions also have considerable wealth, both in cash, property and real estate.
Printing the Watchtower and Awake! magazines certainly is not proof!
So what proof really can a JW give that Jehovah has indeed chosen them?

NONE!!!! it's all talk. They think that like the Jews if they say it long enough everyone will believe it .

Because the WTS says so
None that matches up to any rational or accepted definition of the word 'proof'.
Here's the proof right here:
They're the only ones called Jehovah's Witnesses
They are the only ones who use God's New World Translation.
They're the only ones who preach
The only ones who correctly discerned Christ's invisible return in 1914
The only ones who correctly identified that the generation of 1914 wouldn't pass away.
They are the only ones dispensing Food at the Proper Time.
The only ones who adhere to GOD'S standards on beards, suits and ties, length of hair and skirts.
The only ones with any moral standards
The only ones with love amongst themselves.
How much more do you want?
OOOH that was my 600th post
(Emo, I'm working, I'm working)
They claimed it, and persuaded millions of others to believe it.
As for proof, there isn't any.
That's as hopeless as asking for papers from the local schizophrenic that proves he's the Emporer of Uzbekistan. Even though its doubtful since he lives in a cardboard box in Wichita.

None!

They're the only ones called Jehovah's Witnesses, Even though Yahweh is just as likely to be close to the original translation, and other religions do use both those names. But this is ingnored.
They are the only ones who use God's New World Translation. And the only reason they accept that translation is because they were chosen by god... insert circular reasoning joke here:
They're the only ones who preach Once again, other religions do this too but they choose to ignore that fact.
The only ones who correctly discerned Christ's invisible return in 1914 Which is unprovable, and acctualy able to be proven false, but is only accepted because gods chosen people said it. Once again, circular reasoning.
The only ones who correctly identified that the generation of 1914 wouldn't pass away. Which they admit is wrong... and is based on the incorrect concept of 1914.
They are the only ones dispensing Food at the Proper Time. Translation: They ignore their own false prophecies, make new ones, call them new light, and praise god. But if this simply meens any kind of teaching, then all religions do this.
The only ones who adhere to GOD'S standards on beards, suits and ties, length of hair and skirts. Which are in fact not taught in the bible.
The only ones with any moral standards Again most religions have moral standards but witnesses ignore that fact as well.
The only ones with love amongst themselves. Even though all religions do, and the witnesses chose to ignore this fact too, and they ignore it when there is a lack of love among each other...
How much more do you want? A lot more, this is fun!
Thanks for the list pubsinger... I was having trouble thinking of any proofs to shoot down.
