Re: Paradise Is Near!
watchtowerites are not allowed to think for themselves without a mysterious group of anonymous people in the bronx filtering the information first, then dispersing it via a magazine which is their real bible. or they get kicked out and lose the chance of being the 144,000 which is a misinterpretation of scripture on their part anyway. its all rather sad. we can be so easily saved by grace, and guided by the spirit, it is really not that complicated.

The magazines are not their bible, their bible is their bible, their magazines are study aids and also stories of their fellow jw's that have wished to speak out about how their religion has changed their life... And if it changes their life for the better... Who are we to wish ill on that? The 144,000 I am sure you know are a select group they believe will be in heaven because they have been imperfect humans and have fallen short. So will understand the tests of man..... These numbers they also believe have been filled from the very first day, so... I would think it is very unlikley there are that many "spaces" left.... So they are not doing it, in hope to be one of the 144,000 They are doing it in the hope of being on a paradise on Earth.... I have a small feeling you already know all of this.... But, I couldn't understand why you would try and make it come across in another light... |

Re: Paradise Is Near!
The New World—Really Different! Presend -day governments will be replaced by God’s Kingdom. (Daniel 2:44) There will be justice and lasting peace for all in the new world under Kingdom rule by Jesus Christ, the "Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6, 7) Since he will destroy the wicked and lawless elements that now dominate mankind, only peace-loving "blameless" ones will remain. (Proverbs 2:21, 22; Revelation 19:11-21; 16:14-16) Yes, the survivors will be meek, peace-loving people. What a relief that will be! |
