The possibility that he is irrational, violent, and unpredictable should. Many abusive people are also capable of kindness and compassion. It is not those moments that worry their victims.
You're confusing God with man again.

Just because Jehovah had to prove His Right To Rule? I don't think so!
by liam inwe get old because jehovah had to prove to all the angels that his way of ruling was the best?
that's the sorriest argument the watchtower has come up with.

Kaleb -John 14:9 does not outright state that God "is" this, that, or the other. Like other Jewish rabbis, Jesus did not tend to describe God in the sense of literal attributes. That came from the apostolic college and the Church Fathers.
It's not necessary for us to 'reinvent the wheel.' Don't forget, Jesus specifically referenced the words of Isaiah at the synagogue. But fine, we'll stick to the old testament.

If some random person that I never met is telling me the Sun Rotates around the earth, How in the world is he going to be able to teach me What God is like and what he requires of us.
See, you did imply Jesus was lying hehe.
But what you stated above is due to the same common mistake we've been discussing. You equated God with limited man. You know man, based on your own comment above, is usually wrong about things and can't be trusted.

Tonus -We can go with god's self-descriptions, which seems to me to be the best approach. Who is this god? He is jealous. He is vengeful. He is given to anger, and that anger leads to precipitate action.
Once again you didn't finish the list. He is also loving, patient, peaceful, considerate, even compassionate according to Christ.

Kaleb-In other words, the meaning of the narrative is not "this is God's self definition," as we were once taught by Watchtower, but that what it means to be divine is often found in what it means to be human.
On the contrary, it could be well argued that the Watchtower is just as responsible for the confusion someone like Tonus experiences regarding who God truly is for believers.
People like Tonus cannot fathom that God is both capable of giving punishment and giving reward. People like this perhaps once thought that God was a big teddy bear, yet that is not how the scriptures have ever defined him. If not the scriptures, then it falls on man for having caused this confusion.

Liam-The resurrection is a big thing to them, but three resurrections is not enough to prove anything. Worse is two resurrections, especially when Jesus admits the girl was not dead which now makes it to two resurrections.
One resurrection performed by Christ would suffice for believers. 100 resurrections wouldn't be enough for non-believers.
I'm trying to show how it all falls apart when examined carefully.
Look carefully then, and see how Christ described the little girl, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as all being alive.
