 John 17:14  " I have given your word to them, but the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world."  The "world's"  definition of Jehovah's people will never be accurate because of their hatred towards us as Jesus true followers and our spreading Jehovah's name and purpose.  At least WE know who we are:)
 

[Qapla]

And just think .... Jesus said we would be identified by our LOVE ... and none of those definitions mentioned that - except the one on JW.org by mentioning the way we live.
