About GOD's rejection of His chosen people: GOD did reject them but only for a while. God has reserved a remnant for Himself among His chosen people. This is what the Bible says! It's written in the Paul's epistles to the Romans, chapter 11. This rejection will last only until the full number of the Gentiles has come in (v. 25). GOD's promises of restoration is available to all people who call on the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, both Jews and Gentiles alike (Galatians 3:26-29).

Thanks for your comment!

The Nazis persecuted "anyone" and "everyone" who did not believe and practice as they did, so the list of Nazi opposers could potentially be endless.


Everyone knows that approximately 6,000,000 Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis, and even many more millions of Jews suffered from lesser "persecution". Approximately 100,000 homosexuals, 200,000 gypsies, and 200,000 disabled people were "persecuted" or slaughtered.

Compare those statistics with the Jehovah's Witness. There were only 6000 JWs in Germany during that time period, and while many of those 6000 German JWs were arrested, only 200-300 lost their lives, and the majority of those 2-300 died from any number of causes other than having been executed. Those deaths, few though they may be when compared with the groups who lost thousands to execution, are tragic. But, that is not the point. The point is why does every single Holocaust article lump the JWs into the mix as if they were a significant part of the Holocaust story?

In fact, during that time period, there were more Jehovah's Witnesses arrested and jailed in the United States than in Germany. In fact, from 1941 until 1945, approximately 4500 American Jehovah's Witnesses "elected" to go to prison rather than serve in the Military and go fight against those same Nazis who were committing those atrocities. Roughly two-thirds of those 4500 American JWs were even offered "conscientious objector" status, in which they were offered "non-combatant" work as a substitute, but 99% of those JWs even refused to help out that much.

In fact, Jehovah's Witness played an even less significant role in the Holocaust tragedy than the role that JWs play in any part of societal goings-on today. But-for being the butt of a few comedians' jokes here and there, the JWs would receive virtually no mention outside articles about the Holocaust.

In fact, it is almost an insult to mention Jehovah's Witnesses alongside Holocaust victims such as the Jews and homosexuals, given that Jehovah's Witnesses view both groups much as did the Nazis.

Practicing homosexuals are instantly excommunicated and shunned by the JWs, which means that JW family members are forbidden to associate with them, and must cut them out of their lives. Excommunication is the Old Testament equivalent to "death by stoning", and Shunning is treating an excommunicated person as if they had been executed.

As for Jews, the WatchTower Society teaches its own version of "replacement theology", which says that GOD rejected the Jews as His "chosen people", and replaced them with today's "Jehovah's Witnesses". In fact, the title "Jehovah's Witnesses" was originally applied to the Jews by the Prophet Isaiah, and is even quoted on the wall at the entrance to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C.

The WatchTower Society, in calling its own members "Jehovah's Witnesses" is attempting to steal that designation away from the Jews. The WatchTower Society even teaches that all of the Bible's promises of restoration for the Jewish people now belongs to the followers of the WatchTower Society.
