Why,
Jewish tradition holds that God offered His Law to all of the Nations first and they rejected it and lastly to Israel - and they ran with it.

Why didn't God also reveal himself to the Canaanites just as he did to Moses in the burning bush?
by deegee inwhy didn't god also reveal himself to the canaanites just as he did to moses in the burning bush so that the massacre/genocide of the canaanites could have been avoided?.
why didn't god also invite the native palestinians into his covenant, giving them the same laws he gave the israelites, and establish an egalitarian society where people of all races could live together in harmony?.
instead, he ordered his people to invade and slaughter the natives, killing them to the last man, woman and child, specifically instructing them to show no mercy to anyone under any circumstances.

Great Tribulation and Trump
by TakeOffTheCrown inplease, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.
is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.
there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

Wt is not Alexander the Great - and it is their chess game not anyone else's.
Did you not see the JW march up and down Court Street triumphantly every day in downtown Brooklyn for a century after trumping every Court battle in the US Supreme Court and in every Court in the USA more than anyone in the history of the US -all attempts to wipe out the wt failed. WT property towers over the Court buildings in the Heights and in Brooklyn -now it's Trumps' when they ain't there no more. Their victory is complete. All these recent Court cases are all anti/climax. But so what if nothing happen for another 300 years and wt only remains one of many religion?
And so, what about their 100 year "prophetic"message and massive world wide preaching work reaching people living in 3 different centuries? And spanning the entire 20th Century that resulted in the forming of a new religion. That is what wt is all about and time is up after preaching for a 100 years that the world is about to end soon.
So now that the time is up, corresponds with a move upstate. Let's see what happens.

Anyone else hear of this?
by Tahoe ina jw family member informed me they are filling out an application to preach the truth in israel.
interested ones in the congregation were asked to start saving now, as the cost of the flights would be their own responsibility.
the time frame for this preaching work is for a couple of weeks in may/june 2017. the applications are to be turned in this sunday.

how can you really take that seriously, after all the debacles starting from 1:1 ?
PL From your perspective.
The wt movement has to play out. WT has moved their 'kings" from Kings County to Warwick. (that is a major move) the wtower has "castled" sort of speak. Let's see what happens next.

The Jews enjoy religious freedom in the US and have been migrating to the US to seek assylum on the basis of religious freedom and are accepted with open arms to practice their religion (same as everyone else) however they like under the protection of US laws and government.
It would be a mockery of the Israeli government. The US and it's allies would be outraged if Israel did not protect US citizens and extend to them reciprocity of the same freedom of religion all Jews enjoy in the US and in other "free" nations -Not because they are (hated)JW but because they are Americans. If these rumors turn out to be true, I would be very interested to see how this religious card game plays out in "Israel", (the people having no Shomer but Caesar)and what trumps. It seems to me that Israel is going to allow Americans to practice their religion with open arms and so are the Jews in all neighborhood there.

Interfaith marriage
by TheWonderofYou in5.mos “if you go to war against your enemies and jehovah your god defeats them for you and you take them captive,+ 11 and you see among the captives a beautiful woman and you are attracted to her and you want to take her as your wife, 12 you may bring her into your house.
she should then shave her head, attend to her nails, 13 and remove the clothing of her captivity, and dwell in your house.
she will weep for her father and her mother a whole month,+ and afterward you may have relations with her; you will become her husband and she will become your wife.

And don't forget Esther, Queen of the Nochri, having a Bible book named after her, the sacrificial pawn, who married a heathen king so that Agag could be exterminated and to manipulate the king in favor of the Jews. There was no Christian neutrality back then or Paul to counsel not to become unevenly yoked with unbelivers.

aka seventh king : What do you mean?
tale: do you mean proof?
prologos, the gt excitement is not for trump . but the way I see the chess board shows 103 years invisible king, Adam is 41 yo, with no wife, heaven and earth should have passsed away or they should pass away no latter than next year or something faith strengthening should occur confirming the gt. If not, major doctrinal changes is the next move after moving to warwick. Something must give one way or the other.

You sure it wasn't the Holy Spirit?
Decades ago when I studied Calculus ( and I figured that I would never use that stuff) by pure chance and although not being the sharpest tool in the shed, I discovered a pattern, a short cut in solving a particular kind of problem; I remember I showed my findings to the good professor, and he was very excited about it, and put it to the test, and it failed -it was only a coincidence, but he commended me for having such a sharp eye and spotting it while everybody else overlooked it.
Those enlightened look for evidence coming from God and find it.
With JW, it is not about the evidence -it is about the promise. If an angel came down, or if the heavens opened and JW saw Isaiah's vision,or any remarkable evidence imaginable, it would not help JW faith one bit -true it would be comforting and reassuring if facing death or pain and difficult times -but to JW it aint about evidence, it is about when will relief come -and that requires faith, not evidence from God.

When you stop & think about it ,why would Gods chosen people in the Old testament need an army ?
by smiddy inas the op states why would israel /jewish nation need to have an army at all ?
if they were the chosen people as the bible states under a theocracy , why would the men of israel need an army .?
to protect them ?.

pon, If you have read my posts, you could tell that I can differentiate fact from delusion. Proof is the promise for relief -if that is any comfort to you. A promise without proof is putting faith in something that does not exist -don't take my word for it. It only takes a little faith to get mountains of evidence. Remember my words, please.

Smid, great point about the army. But as for God ordering his chosen to exterminate their enemies and baby snakes (offsprings of vipers) I think you would change your mind if it happened to you being kicked out of your land or killed by all grown up baby snakes. For example Amalek. I don't think you have experienced being harassed or tortured or being pinned all of your life. You need to think about this a little bit.
