Its time to leave. i have had all the answers i need to make a firm decision. thank you so much everyone for your replies, for talking to me over the last few weeks and for some of the humour.

I believe the jws are right and that they have the truth. i believe many of you know that too.

when i first came on here i was told to research all angles. i have. and i find the jws to be Jehovas people and I will join them.

Some of you may have been df'd, possibly as a result of your own stuff and you deserved it. you know deep down the answer to that. there are scriptures to back disfellowshipping and how to behave when someone is. the bible says this - the jws carry that out, as i believe they should. i think some of you have been hurt and it hasnt been your fault. fellow jws may have hurt you, judged you wrongly and youve been df'd wrongly. or if you havent been df'd, and are still in, you may have some people treating you badly. so you come on here to help you cope through it. i am truly sorry for those of you in that situation.

but i will say this. I believe it is Gods organisation. he gave the ungodly governments power of us, and asked us to comply, where it doest conflict with His laws. so we pay our taxes and act like good citizens. if he wants us to comply with the ungodly government, how much more does he want us to comply with his chosen people?

i believe this. if you can be misjudged and badly hurt and then punished for something that isnt your fault, and you can bow to that punishment and accept it, and forgive those people that did it to you, and accept that punishment like it was your fault, even when it wasnt, then i think you have found the true meaning of love and forgiveness, and hold the keys to the kingdom.

i expect many will disagree, and tear apart what i say. hopefully, some of you will understand. i know for a fact, 2 of you will.

thank you so much for your time to reply to my posts - i really appreciate every single comment and concern.

Im not coming back to this site, so feel free to comment for the benefit of others on here, but i wont be on the forum again.

i wish you all the best in your chosen paths and hope one day to meet you all in Jehovas paradise.

with kindest regards, always

so, for those who believe the bible, who are these people and what scripture would back that?.

holly

And please don't tell us you never heard about the "kingdom of God

no actually i didnt.

its not a jw cliche. i have 5 bibles of different version before me. all say the good news of the kingdom will be preached.

Jesus Christ is the saviour of all who exercise faith in him not the WTBTS.
The Kingdom relates to Jesus and his love for mankind, his loving rulership over mankind since he ascended to heaven. By means of Him he has done away with evil and sadness and death in Paradise.

so jesus is the saviour of all who exercise faith. and how do i do that? and what happens to those who dont?? also, the kingdom relates to jesus and his love for mankind - sorry i dont understand that statement, can you give me the scriptures to explain it please. thanks holly

pole im not trying to duck any questions. i dont know who you are talking about. and english is hard for me unless it is simple, so i get lost sometimes in what is being said, thats all.

i believe the church is wrong bec they dont practice what they preach and some of what they preach is not biblical -like praying to mary and saints, and going to war, and women vicars, and gay marriages etc and so on.

but i still believe the bible. so i look around to see who is doing what the bible says disciples of jesus should be doing. and i see jws.

And... Before they actually start ruling they'll joing Christ in destroing 99% of mankind in the battle of Armageddon. Including born again christians.

and according to born agains, they will be raptured off the earth, before god annihilates the rest of civilization. and anyone who has ever died so far, is either in heaven (if they were born again) or hell (a place of everlasting torture). and the earth - will be left empty. even though scriptures dont back this. so apart from born agains, the rest of civilization is going to a place of everlasting torment.

Are you seriously asking what the 'kingdom' is???

i know what the jws taught me. im challenging anyone else to tell me what it is, those who tell me jesus saves from sins. the bible says the gospel of the kingdom will be preached, so im asking those who think they are doing that who arent jws, what it means, and also anyone who knows of any others witnessing good news of the kingdom.
