It will take a war that will literally kill billions in order for them to be saved into paradise.
Yes, they do not engage in war now, but they pray for the deaths of all who do not satisfy their Heavenly Fathers "will". (Unknown to them sadly)
i was reading a book exploring he relationship between geography and religion and found the following quote starting on page 121 of chris park's sacred worlds.. park, c. c. (1994).
sacred worlds: an introduction to geography and religion.
london: routledge.. one of the most dynamic religious groups in terms of disseminating its beliefs is the jehovah’s witnesses.

I wonder if the 200 million was just a typo left unchecked?
Either way a pacifist is:
wolves use their "loyalty" questions to trap others - "do you believe we're living in the last days/this is god's organization/faithful slave?
" - yet resolutely avoid discussing topics which put their org in a bad light, my "loyalty" question to them would be - "do you accept literature truth over bible truth?
" they will either run or be forced to ask for examples of alleged differences.any other suggestions for "loyalty" questions?.
@a believer. Why can't you "wait till it's all fixed"? Are you saying you wish death on the billions of men, women, children and babies who are not Jehovah's Witnesses?
That attitude is not very Christ-like.
the city in which i work is flooded with those witnessing carts.
today im going to approach one of them and pretend i dont know what they believe.
gonna try and record it if i can.
I'd like to hear more on the Bible is scientifically accurate portion. That's always a funny conversation.
i am agnostic.
i will count how many agnostics, atheists and christians that are reading this forum regularly.
please answer my question.
Don't know or care what I am. It's just a label. I don't believe in a loving God, angels, the devil or spirits.
Is there A God? Who knows? But if there is one he must hate his creation.

LOL Rebel. When we were shopping for our fade hall we met an old lady who was 92 years old and had a nicer goatee than I could ever grow.

As them "What is your policy on beards?"
one day at art class, we were told we were to draw a naked woman.
i knew as a witness this would be wrong, but i awaited the lesson in anticipation, it would be the first time i had seen a naked woman.
i remember sitting at my esal waiting ten or fifteen minutes for her to appear.
Great life experience! Have you continued in your artistry?
Growing up I had many "girl friends" who were just friends, nothing more. There was no romantic involvement and it never lead to anything but companionship. It's sad that Watchtowerites cannnot experience close friends with the opposite sex because they think we humans cannot control our sexual desires when alone.
As for first acts of rebellion against Watchtower? Buffy the Vampire Slayer binges with the wife and coming here for confirmation that Watchtower was a lie.
aren't there christian denominations who do not make false end of the world predictions but who nevertheless believe that the world will eventually end and paradise (whether in heaven or on earth) will come?.
it seems the watchtower was just jumping the gun when they made false end of the world predictions but they are nevertheless the right: the world will eventually end and paradise will come..
I'd imagine paradise future can make a person feel all warm and fuzzy but in the end we really don't know for sure what happens.
Its a good rule of thumb to live in the now and be the best person you can personally be. Perhaps you can influence those around you and you can have paradise NOW, rather than at death.
jws like to think they have found the one true religion.
but like so many other religious people, it's usually the religion they were born into, the only religion they know because it's the first one they found or, at the most, one of two or three (typically the second one after they left their first / born-in faith).. the trouble is, there simply isn't enough time to explore and investigate each and everyone of the many thousands of belief systems, religions and sects around the world.. think of it this way: which is the best neighbourhood to live in where you would be most happy and most successful?
not just in the city or even the country you are in, but the entire world.. how would you ever know?
If those two elders come back I'm sharing this with them. Simply fantastic topic.
