Remember the saying, "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, but teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime"?
My heartfelt answer is to lead you to go where you can find those answers from trustworthy, dependable sources. Who cares about my personal opinion? That "video" was produced by a group of professional scholars, teachers and rabbis who are experts on Judaism--they can answer the question best on what makes a Jew--and lead to further answers.
As to your final Scripture on Revelation 3:9, I don't know what you mean. All I can answer is have you never read Paul when he wrote: “Who are you to pass judgment on slaves of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand.”--Romans 14:4.
And again:”Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.”--Romans 14:10.
And again James when he wrote: “If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law. But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you. God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?”--James 4:11-12.
You're just upset that I posted a video that was relevant and you, who claimed you were an archeologist don't even know Arabic or Hebrew...are even making fun that I posted a relevant video. You are just acting like a big bully or even like troll -- but why?
Can't you act more decent online?"

I don't know what you're talking about, @KalebOutWest, I am not upset about anything. I commended you about being a fan of Jewish history, and then I commended you about knowing a lot about Jewish history because it's your culture, and then I asked for your expertise on something related to the scriptures. I didn't say anything bad about the video you posted, and just to show it I posted some videos I like too.

I think those are good scriptures you posted - it's a good idea not to judge people as bullies or trolls or when they are not bullies or trolls. If you feel I am not treating you decently, perhaps you could tell me what would make you feel more comfortable.🌷

Israel's first name was Jacob.

Jacob is sometimes called "Jake" for short.

Here's another version of "Rawhide" by Jake that I prefer to that one in the Fievel Goes West...

(I thought Abu was just monkeying around.)

Oh, you shared a video. @KalebOutWest, since you have grown up in the Jewish faith and culture and since you know so much about being a Jew and since that is who you are through and through, I thought you might be able to just answer my questions from your heart without sharing a video...

"Does the name "Jew" really come from the name "Judah"? Maybe you can tell me more about what you know about Judah...

When Joseph first prophesied regarding his brothers bowing down before him, Judah did not believe that Joseph was a true prophet. Do you think that later on when Judah bowed to Joseph in Egypt that Judah believed?

What do you think this verse means...

Revelation 3:9

"Look! I will make those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews yet are not, but are lying—look! I will make them come and bow before your feet and make them know that I have loved you.""

AnonyMous said: "the Jews would’ve noted that Jesus was a spiritist or practicing witchcraft/divination as the few times seeing into the future is actually mentioned in the Bible (eg. Solomon consulting with the witch of Endor)"

Um, it was King Saul who went to the witch of Endor, not Solomon.

And as regards Jesus being a prophet, he himself confirmed...

John 4:17-26

"Jesus said to her: “You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’ For you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. This you have said truthfully.”

"The woman said to him: “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”

"Jesus said to her: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews. Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.”

"The woman said to him: “I know that Mes·siʹah is coming, who is called Christ. Whenever that one comes, he will declare all things to us openly.” Jesus said to her: “I am he, the one speaking to you.”"

Jesus did not deny that he was a prophet. If you want to deny it, @AnonyMous, that's between you and him.

Could this be the end of JWs? What are the consequences if it is?

by Teddnzo in

multiple very serious allegations against tony and then huge efforts to remove him from all pictures and videos, have to admit it doesn’t look good.. once the pennsylvania investigation becomes public knowledge and front page news it will be very very hard for 8 million pimis.. is it possible that this could be the largest problem the branch has ever faced?

larger than 1975, the overlapping generations or any other ‘test of faith’.

many will feel heartbroken and betrayed.

The WTBT$ doesn't solely use the funds the way they advertise to the donors. I wonder how at risk they are at losing their tax-exempt non-profit status.

@DesirousOfChange, Yeah, I'm not a troll. I've been hoodwinked many times, and I have been hurt by a lot of pathological liars in the JWBorg, so I am a bit oversensitive if I suspect someone might be trying to pull one over on me. Sometimes I react too "loudly" now as a more recent learned defense mechanism (for a long time I didn't say anything at all, just got steamrolled). I know it's not the best quality, and I am working on it, but I'm slow. I apologize for seeming "troll-like". I don't mean to come across that way.

@Vidiot, thank you.💖
