    Just thought. To see something, about something, connected to this "Jew group" (in spiritual or literal way) we need, i suppose, opening/overture of observer mind (observer who know what he is searching, looking for, or we can talk also perhaps about some ignorant person, who is, because of divine power will, in position to see important thing, despite his position) by divine power.
    Divine power, i guess, is holy spirit, who make it possible that some person can see something. In such situation  we can talk about "inspiration from above", and a harmonized action and interaction of "two earthly elements - observer and Jew", under influence of/from Heaven. 
    Here we can see some literal, physical products/fruits of, as Bible explains, holy spirit. Does observer of this fruits need to be inspired (in other words, does god need to open his eyes) to be able to see fruits? Or, natural state of mind and heart is precondition to recognize (or to not recognize) the Jew who produce such fruits as prove that he is this sort of Jew?
     
    Do they (JW members or other believers) consider themselves as "fishes" who are already chosen as good fishes, because they found and hold of true Jew hem? Or this separation, made by angels, is applied for all fishes, because net is one, and it was throwing, had thrown, will be throwing on all?

    Wrong Billy! You changed thesis!
    I am sure that you also  know, that it is not about issue of Transferring Perfection in question  but about Transferring Authority! 
    After, later it came to the idea that such Authority means Infallibility.

    ahahaha.  This statement made it clear how FDS thought was different in the past and they changed that thought today. It is not about what WE (JW's rank and file members) thought before. It is all about Them aka GB of WTJWORG. :))

    Because i am one of those who are in opposition to WTJWORG ideology (officially from 2015), do you sure about your conclusion how @JW Insider skillfully deceived me to to join him in the same job? :)))
    I have never met JW Insider before this Forum, and we are not in any sort of conspiracy. :))) But, I am gladly to met him and some other participants who gave comments here.

    I don't know nothing about nature of JHVH (and his happiness). What i think i know maybe is wrong or insufficient. I am not sure how your view about God's nature is correct. Because you said, He is always happy with what He allows. 
    B1 [ T ] to give permission for someone to do something, or to not prevent something from happening:
    [ + that ] formal to admit or agree that something is true:
    to let someone do something or let something happen; permit:

    In regard to JW religion, and with your opinion, this would mean how JHVH is happy when JW members feeling, thinking, speaking and doing things that are factually wrong. Strange god you have :))

    If people follow such teachings and kill themselves, it is loss of their own lives and wasted effort.
    But when people, as in example you gave with Uriah, successfully implement to kill somebody (spiritual or literal dead) because of teaching aka instruction from some men ...... than is not enough to make just intellectual disagreement and do a job.... but refuse to do so.

    In my amateur opinion: two expressions with the same meaning :))))
    Are you serious?
    Do you want to apply this idea about JHVH only on JW religion in some special situations and periods of religious progress/changes aka new light dogma?
    Or do you offer this Idea as General View (Happiness) that JHVH have on Humankind and World Condition (in specific religious issue: old Jew, 1st Church, 2nd Church, Reformed Churches, etc.) in past thousand years? By reading of Bible report we see that god was Unhappy only ones, when released Flood on Earth. In all other stages, periods by not intervened He showed Happiness? :))

    Thank you John! 
    Yeah, thoughts that circled in my mind about this in recent years, made me to think how God "desperately" need love from creatures He brought to existence - Humans (and Angels).
    In case of old Jew, he incorporated, built this in legislative. I wander why. Because, from our present time aspects, perspective and after Jesus' Teachings, all is in free will, free wish, to respect, to serving god "from Love". Idea of Love including Free Choice. Because without such freedom to make decision of that sort/ thing,  seems questionable, to me at least.
     Love is Best, Ultimate, Perfect, Divine state of Soul. That is, i don't know, but i guess, Maximum what we can achieved in lifetime.
    For me, God looking for such Love. He needs that Love. What would happened if we don't give Him Love?

    It has been, and is my understanding that God doesn't "need" anything. However, in his love he had the desire to give other creatures the gift of existence, (or life), so that other beings could experience to some degree what he had (life), which included the joy of being alive. I think that the love you say God needs from intelligent creatures is actually for their benefit, not for his. He created them with a spiritual side, which only gets fulfilled with knowing and loving Him. Like a child who knows and loves his father, is in a better/happier position than a child who does not know who their father is. (Children with adoptive parents always want to know, or want to search, for their real parents once they come of age).

    Not necessarily, and we know the prophets gave us insight into the last days.
    Call to me when trouble comes;
        I will save you,
        and you will praise me.”
     But God says to the wicked,
        “Why should you recite my commandments?
        Why should you talk about my covenant?
     You refuse to let me correct you;
        you reject my commands.
     You become the friend of every thief you see,
        and you associate with adulterers.
     “You are always ready to speak evil;
        you never hesitate to tell lies.
     You are ready to accuse your own relatives
      and to find fault with them.
     You have done all this, and I have said nothing,
        so you thought that I am like you.
    But now I reprimand you
        and make the matter plain to you.  Ps 50:14-21
     
    God says,
    “For a long time I kept silent;
        I did not answer my people.
    But now the time to act has come;
      I cry out like a woman in labor.
    I will destroy the hills and mountains
        and dry up the grass and trees.
    I will turn the river valleys into deserts
        and dry up the pools of water.
    “I will lead my blind people
        by roads they have never traveled.
    I will turn their darkness into light
        and make rough country smooth before them.
    These are my promises,
        and I will keep them without fail.
     All who trust in idols,
        who call images their gods,
        will be humiliated and disgraced.”  Isa 42:14-17

    The way I see it, Jehovah has an abundance of love about the things he cares about, and actually needs NOTHING from us.
    Nothing whatsoever.  
    It's like my 18 pet Bantam chickens ... (who I just finished feeding a whole banana split down the middle, a large handful of broccoli, and two giant strawberries, and gave them more commercial chicken feed, and clean water ....).
    I want the very best for them, but in reality need NOTHING from them. I am not going to eat the eggs, or the chickens.  They are just fun to watch grow and interact with me and my wife, and each other.   There is no point whatsoever to it ... other than me watch them enjoy their short (about 6 years) life.
    Jehovah does not get pouty, and petulant, and get depressed when we do not love him.
    ... think not about pettiness and pouty .... think Poultry !
    It's just like the Sabbath.
    The Sabbath regulation was made for mankind .... mankind was NOT made for the Sabbath.
    Jehovah will not get his feelings hurt, and start hurling lightning bolts, or go in the corner, and cry because we are not giving him enough adoration.
    HE ENCOURAGES ADORATION ONLY BECAUSE IT REPROGRAMS US NOT TO BE SO NASTY AND SELF CENTERED! ( ... with some notable exceptions ...)
    Not because He needs adoration !

    ... and I worry not that Billy or Foreigner down votes EVERYTHING that does not fit their corporate agendas ... eventually they will run out of drool, and when they sleep, the other eye stops twitching.
