Did you never read, that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
The Jews understood this far better than the J.W.'s .
(Isaiah 43:10, 11) “You are my witnesses,” declares Jehovah, “Yes, my servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and have faith in me And understand that I am the same One. Before me no God was formed, And after me there has been none. 11 I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.”
Jehovah selected the Jews to use them to bring the Messiah.
They put the promised Messiah to death and lost the privilege of being His Witnesses.
(Acts 15:14) Symʹe·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Jesus foretold this (Matthew 23:38) Look! Your house is abandoned to you.
