JW's believe all non-JW's are going to die at Armageddon. This can't be debated. This is what they've said. I would say I'm the kind of guy who lives a quiet, unassuming life. I try to help people when I can and I believe I'm generally a pretty good person. Despite that, God will destroy me at Armageddon. This is what JW's believe.
You know what, even if all of that were true and I knew for sure that it was, I don't think I would want to worship a God like that.
Oh, it gets worse.
In the bible, some kids were making fun of a prophet, and called him baldy.
God was enraged, and sent a couple of bears that ended up killing 42 of the kids.
Is the death penalty an appropriate response to name-calling?
Is a god that executed the death penalty for such a triviality really the kind of god that you want to worship?
And, what about stealing things that were meant for destruction anyways? Achan "stole" gold and valuables that were supposed to have been destroyed--and not only got killed for doing it, but caused others to die. Actually, Jehovah caused innocent people to die simply because someone wanted to take the gold and silver out of the garbage.
I suppose that means that, if I try to hold onto some silver and gold coins (so I can use them to create value in the New Dark Ages), I will get my whole group destroyed for doing so. Or, if I try to hold onto knowledge about the Internet so we can have a global communication system and instructions can be spread worldwide in a few seconds instead of months, I will get whole groups of people killed in doing so.
I agree. But not only that,
What do you think of the billions of people that worship that kind of god?
It frightens me.
JWs have it wrong. Remember, the "evil slave" represents the WTS. Thus there were 9 other slaves sent out. Plus Jesus says, "I have OTHER SHEEP not of this fold." So Christ gathers his faithful ones in more than one fold! JWs may be the chosen temple sect, but it is not the only means Jehovah selects those destined for life.
So basically, 1/3 of today's population will be destroyed at Armageddon. 1/3 will survive and live into old age and die. And 1/3 will be granted the special privilege of living to the end of the millennium.
But after that, after Satan is let loose and then destroyed, then JUDGMENT DAY comes and everybody comes back and is judged. Based on the 1/3 that rebelled of the angels up in heaven, I'm presuming a similar ratio of those who will choose Jehovah among humans. Thus every human has a 2 out of 3 chance of getting everlasting life. That's not that bad.
God wants the best for all. He only destroys those who disrupt the peace and prosperity of others.

No absolutely not. The God of the JW's doesn't deserve to be worshipped. The God of the JW's is a murderous, incestous, child raping, fuck.
