  The intervention is a turning-point in authority in the earth, when we finally begin our recovery - but it does not begin with a mass slaughter of this group and that.

  Revelation - whose vision's events have not yet begun - will have to take place, and the war against Christ's authority and the slaughter associated with that are many events in the future.....Acts5v29

  The Slaughter is Many Events in the Future?..LOL!!..

  So your Not Disagreeing with what Watchtower Teaches about Global Genocide..

  You Disagree with the "Time Line"..

  It`s the same WatchTower Menu.....Served at a Later Date..

  @Acts5v29

  Thanks for your reply but I feel you're trying to dodge the gist of my question.

  So, those people practicing what the bible calls 'bad things' won't be destroyed at that moment.

  You mentioned a future slaughter of those that war against Christ's authority.

  Now, another question which becomes evident is this: what about the irreligious, the gay couples, the evolutionists, the atheists at that future point. They're not warring with Christ or anyone else. Will they be slaughtered at that time?

  Acts5v29

  Good afternoon LoveUniHateExams,

  Thanks for your reply but I feel you're trying to dodge the gist of my question.

  It only seems like that when my answers are not comprehensive, but no - I won't do that to you. If your questions are relevant to what I do, I'll answer.
  

  Now, another question which becomes evident is this: what about the irreligious, the gay couples, the evolutionists, the atheists at that future point. They're not warring with Christ or anyone else. Will they be slaughtered at that time?

  Honestly? My ministry does not address that - Armageddon will come sometime after God's rescue, but it will be a rebellion against authority, and those in that particular rebellion alone will be slaughtered as a matter of necessity - that's all I know. I could hypothesise - you know:

  "why would gays not just live as they do"?,

  "why would there be atheists after everyone will have seen God intervene?"

  - and why would any of those want to rebel against authority! but all I know is what I've told you.

  But I do believe that God's intervention - and the evident proof of His existence and His benevolence at that time - will change a lot in people. Theory of evolution will still be scientific, but God's appearance would not make it an atheistic issue anymore; and as much as sex is great - I'm told - there are things which can be far more meaningful, and which let our love for others be amplified rather than being hindered - just different, but immensely beautiful.
  

  Could I add a post-script:

  I know the ministry I've described seems suspect to some - the watchtower has made many people reject God as well as the church - and any mention of God sounds like it must have ties and caveats and catches... but this doesn't. It's just something very simple with no person or church as its owner - anyone can have it quite separately from worshipJehovah.org.

  Acts - There is no prophecy in Genesis.

  Revelation is just one of many apocalyptic books of the 1st century. It has had no relevance for at least 1900 years.

  The bible is a record of the superstitions of a bunch of Iron Age sheep herders who had the ethics of ISIS. It is full of significant errors. The god of the OT was a moral monster. Jesus worshipped and adored this moral monster demonstrating his lack of ethical sense. Jesus was also a false prophet.

  No sky-daddy is going to appear to save us from global warming. Either science will solve it or it won't get fixed. Lovelock's ideas are pure fiction.

  Your 96 page book adopts the patronising style of the Watchtower. It is pitched at the reading level of a 10 year old. It is 99% waffle.

  Your entire theology is predicated on a creation account that is pure fantasy.

  Apart from that your new religion is a winner.

  "Evident Proof" of Gods Existence?..

  .
  

  Right at this moment..
  

  There are People who claim they can Prove or Disprove,the Existence of God..

  Neither have any Proof..
  

  What happens to the people who are not satisfied with the Evidence Presented that God Exists,when YOUR "Time Line" is met?..

  What happens to the "Non Believers"?

  There are People who claim they can .. Disprove,the Existence of God - Outlaw the Militant Agnostic

  If you mean the god of christian theism, the god of Jesus, and if by "disprove" you mean beyond all reasonable doubt, then yes I can do that easily.

  See the post near the middle of this page...

  If you mean some vague deist god then who cares?

  Outlaw - Why do you make a really bad job of trying to insult me every single time we end up on the same thread? You have been doing it for years. I might object more if you were any good at it. There seems to be an angry man behind the cartoons.

  You keep suggesting that I was important in the cult. Why? I really wasn't. I was a very junior elder who had no power or influence at all. I was the sort who stood up for people when other elders were getting authoritarian. I hated abuse of power and still do. When I realised I no longer agreed with some of the WT teachings I quickly resigned.

  If you are going to insult me try harder to be funny &/or accurate. Or even better why not stop doing that and engage in a real conversation?
