  No, that's not it. People will be judged by how the react DURING the tribulation. That's the point.

  Say, what ?

  Please explain to me then, what about all the billions of people who died over the centuries, their only Tribulation was their own death...
  Which, of course, I believe is the only tribulation that we'll all ever know and have to face...

  That's exactly what judgment day is going to sort out. We will see if Catholics actually do possess genuine faith. Anyone can claim anything. In fact, people do make the claim that they believe in God and Jesus and so forth. The Scriptures make it clear though that God considers most claims to be fraudulent.

  There are "bad" Catholics and there are "bad" JWs...
  I agree 100 % with you here.
  God will be the judge.
  And He won't judge us by looking if we were worshipping in a Catholic Church or in a Kingdom Hall...
  It's all in our actions toward others.

  I shouldn't even be answering anymore, I have my opinion, you have yours, and I'm certainly not trying to make you change your mind, if you're happy, fine...
  

  The shortcomings of the Watchtower institution in no [way] nullifies the good that it has accomplished by instilling genuine faith in the hearts of many of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  The shortcomings of the Catholic Church in no way nullify the good it has accomplished (for the last 2000 years) by instilling genuine faith in Jesus Christ in the hearts of billions of Catholics.
  ...and the Catholich Church is helping less fortunate people all over the world with its hospitals, food kitchen, schools, etc

  You admit yourself that the Watch Tower literature publishes stuff that is not always right and even entirely wrong, and dangerous.
  Why would you push people to go out and distribute these lies and half truths ?

  Think...If you are as smart as you think you are you should be able to figure that out. / You Know

  
  This is not the answer I need, dear Mr. YouKnow. And you're being abrasive again...
  No, I really don't know what you think we should be doing while waiting for the next "tribulation"...
  I hope you're not implying that we all should see that the only way to survive the next crisis (whatever it may be) is to join the rank of the magazine peddlers called Jehovah's Witnesses ? !

  And also, it is your opinion that you are right, that the Watch Tower is right and anyone disagreeing with you is wrong... but that's only your opinion, it doesn't make it the truth...

  cruel?

  2. experiences

  i remember going on field service with a pioneer sister then afterwards she asked me to accompany her to look in on one of her studies, i said yes and ended up in the house of a really nice indian lady.

  my friend had offered to take this lady's daughter off her hands for a while and take her down the park so off we went - nice summer day, we sat while the little girl played on the swings and slides, we brought a bit of food and went back to the park to sit down and eat, as we were eating, the girl started talking about armageddon.

  the conversation was getting along nicely - little girl slowly being succesfully brainwashed...... the poor little 8 year old girl ended up in tears - she was scared of the earthquakes and didnt want to die, she didnt want her mother to die, and even though she believed they would both be together in paradise earth, her dad would die and stay dead, nothing my friend could to cheer her up so i coaxed her into going back on the swings and all was well till it was time for her to go home and the tears started again when she told her mother of her concerns.

  Beck,
  

  your grandfather WILL get a ressurrection because he was righteously disposed towards the truth". Hmmm....what a load of shite!!! They have now pronounced themselves as judges of who will and will not get a ressurrection.

  That's one of the things I experienced when the nice JW ladies visited me.... They openly judged me and my family... My 3 year old was going to be massacred by their loving God,very soon, if I didn't become one of them,(it was 93 or 94, this lady in particular seemed to believe that the end would be that year, or at least before 2000). When I told her that my God would never slaughter innocent children, she said something to the effect "we'll have to wait and see, but not doing anything (i.e. not going door-to-door) would certainly not be acceptable to their God, and I would die too"...

  reasons why the english language is hard to learn:.

  1. the bandage was wound around the wound.. 2. the farm was used to produce produce.. 3. the dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.. 4. we must polish the polish furniture.. 5. he could lead if he would get the lead out.. 6. the soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.. 7. since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.. 8. a bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.. 9. when shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.. 10. i did not object to the object.. 11. the insurance was invalid for the invalid.. 12. there was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.. 13. they were too close to the door to close it.. 14. the buck does funny things when the does are present.. 15. a seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.. 16. to help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.. 17. the wind was too strong to wind the sail.. 18. after a number of injections my jaw got number.. 19. upon seeing the tear in the painting i shed a tear.. 20. i had to subject the subject to a series of tests.. 21. how can i intimate this to my most intimate friend?.

  let's face it - english is a crazy language.. there is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple.

  Very good !
  I often wonder why the same letter is pronounced differently, depending on the word it's in.

  for example : Roof --- Blood

  the "i" in Stir --- and in Fire

  apostates are actually some of the most ignorant and stupid people on the planet. Granted that infruiates some folks, but so be it. / You Know

  How can you insist someone is ignorant and stupid if you have never met him/her?
  There's more to life than just knowing how to find a quote in the Bible...
  Your tone is very abrasive, and very disturbing.
  What I don't understand really, is : what do you want people to do?
  Yes, difficult times may come, but so what, we'll deal with them when they're there. What else should we be doing inbewtween ?
  Hide in a cave an gnash our teeth ?
