by EndofMysteries inthere is no christian religion that teaches this, nor the wt, etc.
but it's clearly in the scriptures.

How Will Armageddon Begin?
by Cold Steel inand how long will it last?
and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?
the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.

The events speaks about literal Israel. It's not at all what the WT teaches. Read Ez chapter 38 and 39, and Zechariah entire chapter 14 for the real amageddon. Absolutely nothing like the WT teaches and no living forever, etc, nor is everybody wiped out either.

Ez, entire chapter of 38 and 39.
In summary, Jews would be gathered back to Israel/Jerusalem. Armies would surround them. The jews do NOT serve God. But he intends to keep his promise. In Ez 38:22-23 he rains down fire from heavens on those armies. (this is the same thing that Rev 20:8/9 talk about, but as you see in preceding verse in Ez, the entire Earth isn't following this God, nor are they perfect, etc. The reason for gathering the Jews back and raining fire down on the armies? The reason is in Ez 39:28/29. (More indepth if you start as vs 21). Again definitely doesn't at all match WT version of events.
Zech 14, entire chapter also talks more in depth bout this event. This is where the armies surrounding them have their flesh rot while yet alive. After this event is everybody still alive perfect and live eternally? Nope. Zech 14:16-19 says they'll be survivors of those who went against Jerusalem and they must make an annual pilgrimage. If they don't make that pilgrimage then their land shall get no rain.
So how does the WT get that God will destroy the entire earth except JW's real soon, and they'll have perfect life and health and paradise for 1,000 years and dead will be raised, then people will go bad and rebel and they'll be one last destruction? Their entire story is from picking single scriptures out of context from entire detailed scenarios like I just showed to make an entire new story.

On page 230, look at this picture of the JW "Kingdom School" waving the American Flag. I guess in 1937 being patriotic was still allowed? I thought since 1918 after Jesus chose them all of that stuff was done away with?

So my husband got a letter
by Lost his mind inso, he received a letter that i am wondering if it is one of those open letters that are out there to denote time given.
it starts out with the name of the person sending it, then goes into the spiel...do you know our god's name?
when i was shown what it is, i kind of got upset.

More than likely this brother sends out two or three of those a day to get his time started.
Ahh yea, to "get his time started." One of my favorites, from the book of excrement 14:15-19, "And the lord uttered to the GB, "When thou starts thy time in thine field service, thy must not start thou time until thou first sendeth a letter or goeseth to a house. So if it takes thee an hour to arrive at the first door in thine service, then thou must not counteth thy time until thou knocks at thy door. However, if thou was to spend thirty seconds to sendeth a letter prior to leaving thine kingdomhall and spendeth the next hour in the car, thy can still count thy full hour of service. And the GB praised thy lord for thy revelation, and the rest of the sheeple praised thy GB for delivering thy new light on counting thy time."

Science the bible and some telling scriptures
by Crazyguy inif one reads about god creating the earth with any critical thinking you'll notice that he created vegetation and the trees before the sun.
another one that i just read about was the stories about the golden calves.
one story involves the making of a golden calf by aaron and the other is about the golden calves that were set up at bethel and i think dan.

Not sure on your translation but if read the Hebrew, seed was created.

They did some math and if only 1 million members donate money, having the few dollars they can save up from no education and opportunities, they figured if they spent (very conservatively) $50, $300, $500 on stocking up or preparing for disaster, that's 50 million, 500 million, maybe more that could instead go to their pockets in donations since nobody in the borg has money and scraps by. So don't work out (gym membership= $50 monthly donations instead), or build a shelter and stock up (instead give us your emergency money and you'll be magically protected).

The WT is just a different kind, but will appeal to war weary mamas being love bombed and likely fed.
Then after they successfully have got them to cut all contact and connections with family and friends who would have or had been helping them, then they'll lovingly remind them that the goal in watchtower world is to convert others and no financial/physical help is given, they should ask those they've cut off contact with for help.
