Re: a strange thing happened to me right now involving jehovah's witnesses...
You are right, OP.

This is exactly how it starts. And similarly in our country they'll be no complaining when the conservatives and the christians are "relocated to live in containers."

And to your other point, the bible says * "...But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed." God's going to use the weak, the overlooked and the nobodies to bring His message of love and salvation not the theological superstars the world looks up to.

Cool story.
Now concerning the J.W.'s..Something has always confounded me and that is, if they believe that only 144k will be saved , then why do they go around and recruit ?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1550123


Lets be honest here, shall we? You know perfectly well, assuming you are a JW, that ANYONE who is not a JW before Armageddon starts will die. ONLY JW will survive the big A.

Humans = perfection? Show me in the Bible where god created humans to be perfect? Also, resurrection would be a clone, so all those people will be clone's - something we can do today.

Re: a strange thing happened to me right now involving jehovah's witnesses...
No matter whats going on in Holland, or what Hitler did to them, or what they seem to know about world events, the JW"s and the Watchtower Society is still a non biblical, satanic cult. They, along with the Mormon's, SDA's, and many charismatic groups spew false doctrines to deceive the hearts of the simple. Of course the MOTHER of all cults is the Roman Catholic system.

ALL of these groups teach works are necessary for salvation and that a believer can lose his salvation. None of them believes that Jesus Christ's perfect life and perfect sacrifice on the cross is all that is necessary to secure eternal life for any sinner who will receive it by grace alone through faith alone. It's all just Cainite, Babylonian, satanic, religious trash.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God, not of works, lest any man should boast"

The Lord Jesus Christ said...

"He that believeth on ME hath everlasting life"

Have a nice day!

Re: a strange thing happened to me right now involving jehovah's witnesses...
Several people have said that JW's have come to their door when they were in distress...so the evidence suggests God is using them for his work.

Most agree they are nice people and like to talk to them and have learned a lot about the Bible from them...again sounds like God is using them to teach about him.

So if you were God who would you use to teach about you? Any good leader knows you need a plan and you need an organization to spread a message to masses amount of people in a short amount of time. It will take money, it isn't free. And you will have to EDUCATE the people teaching about God.

Who is willing to do this? Which religion would be willing to do this, God asks? Who has made themselves available?

To the angry ANTI-JW poster, what have you done to preach to masses of people about God? When has someone said of you, he was there to comfort me in my time of need.

The evidence speaks for itself!

Compass sea and land - A proverbial expression, similar to ours, You leave no stone unturned; intimating that they did all in their power to gain converts, not to God, but to their sect. These we may suppose were principally sought for among the Gentiles, for the bulk of the Jewish nation was already on the side of the Pharisees.

No human knows exactly who survive Armageddon but being on God's and Jesus' side is a sure way to help make it through. And everyone who has died BEFORE Armageddon gets a resurrection.

And when God creates he creates perfectly. The angels are perfect except the ones that chose to disobey God. And of course Adam and Eve were perfect/sinless as well before they disobeyed God. Before sinning they wouldn't die/grow old/sick. Afterward they died in one day or 1000 years to God since one day to us is a thousand to God. Death was not normal and was a curse. Why tell them they would die if death was the normal for them? It wasn't.

So if Adam had not disobeyed God there would have been no sin in the world:

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned"--Romans 5:12

But you should know this since you said you were a JW.

I think so as well.

And God says this about the people He picks to spread His word:

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Corinthians 1:27

Time and time again there are people who make fun of them because they are ordinary people spreading the Bible's message going door to door. Many are not college educated and have not gone to a well known seminary school but they know the Bible better than anyone. They can look foolish and weak up against the world's powerful religions/leaders but they are strong and keep fighting for truth. But they will all say they don't do this on their own but with the help of God's Holy Spirit. I believe God is using these so called foolish/weak people to spread His word.

the ones who look even more foolish are those they kick out of their religion and prevent family from talking to them. They are the lowly in God's eyes, not those who think they know all the truth in this world, which is haughty and egotistical.
