How and why would this happen? Where is their faith in the "Gog of Magog" prophecy. "Touching the apple of Jah's, eye etc"

Odd question in July 15 2012 WT
by breakfast of champions inwhat if a powerful government were to hatch a plot to exterminate jehovah's witnesses as an organization?.
they ask this question at the bottom of page 23 of the july wt, and i thought the wording was kind of strange.
the target is not jws "the people" (as in nazi germany) but the org alone.

I remember when it was only the Service Committee (Service, Secretary, and CO-Ordinator Overseers) that approved Reg Pioneers. They made their recommendations known to the Body of Elders, and here is where the fun began. Some Elders on the Body would be jealous because their kids weren't pioneering, or were opposed to it. Some had such high expectations for them, and demands. One demand was to impose a rule on the publisher to Auxilliary Pioneer for at least 6 months first. The Org book, or Pioneer Application form made no such demands. I can only imagine now just how difficult it will become. The pioneers may just pack it in, and catch that bus destined for University. Ooops, now he/she really doesn't qualify.

Welcome, Got....
I do want to thank the people on this site who posted this letter to prepare us for this .
Billy is right though. This is not as exciting as the one about eliminating the bookstudy meeting. Do you remember that one?
It started "Well brothers, just because the times are tough, we do not expect to add you any other burdens, so we are cancelling the Weekly Bookstudy. But, not yet, wait till next September"
Can you imagine the apostles making that decision in the first century? "Hey brothers, we don't want to add any other burdens to you, and we will not be imposing this circumcision on you, ok. But, can you just put up with it, till next September? Be a good sport now and come forward, as I sharpen my flint knife."

Sure.....there is lite butter, popcorn, cream, milk, chip dipps, and so many other food products.
They don't taste much like the good old calorie rich foods, though.

I think, Wannabefree, has a point. Those Kangaroos can kick, and they have boxing skills as well. They also have stomach pouches that can store so many floating devices.

Genesis 6:4 - where did the Giants come from if they were wiped out by the flood?
by BroMac in(genesis 6:1-4) 6 now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, 2 then the sons of the [true] god began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.
3 after that jehovah said: my spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh.
accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.
