Punkofnice I go to school and talk to non JW. Does that make me unclean? I am not baptized nor do I think if Armaggedon came today that I would make it.

i thought it was one of my package from ups but instead it was two sisters.

Well if their was some that didn't get to hear the teaching they will be given a chance to be resurrected and serve Jehovah in the new system. Their may be some when the end comes that don't know about it either. They won't be destroyed and will be given the same opportunity as well.

Ancient worshippers of God also had mistaken ideas and expectations and needed to adjust their viewpoint.

Moses offered himself as a deliverer for the nation of Israel 40 years ahead of God’s timetable.—Acts 7:23-25, 30, 35.
The apostles failed to understand the prophecy that foretold the Messiah’s death and resurrection.—Isaiah 53:8-12; Matthew 16:21-23.
Some early Christians had wrong ideas about the timing of “the day of Jehovah.”—2 Thessalonians 2:1, 2.

God later corrected their misunderstandings, and we pray that he will continue doing the same for us.—James 1:5.

@ A Believer,

You're not baptized!?

what are you waiting for?

why won't you show your face or use your real name?

are you afraid? what are you afraid of?

I could ask you the same.

Noah and the Faithful slave are a lot in a lot of ways. Both say to be of God and everyone ignores them and calls them foolish old men. But the result will be the same.

The countless BILLIONS of years Jehovah spent dealing with hundreds of millions of spirit creatures would certainly give us a clearer understanding of how he operates in comparison to the mismatched, measly 2,000 year period the article refers to would it not? So how did Jehovah deal with his creation for countless billions of years? Daniel’s vision into heaven at Daniel 7:10 tells us “There were a thousand thousands that kept MINISTERING to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand that kept standing right before him.” “Ministering” as used here denotes a performing of a service. This is also in harmony with Psalms 103:20, 21 “Bless Jehovah, O you angels of his, mighty in power, carrying out his word, by listening to the voice of his word. Bless Jehovah, all you [angelic] ARMIES of his, you MINISTERS of his, doing his will.” Notice the angels are referred to as “angelic armies”. When you think of the word “army” what do you think of? “Army” is defined as: “any body of persons organized for any purpose”. So for these untold millions of angels to carry out an endless array of tasks under the direction of Jehovah God, organization is required. This is not an opinion, this is 100% scriptural, as I have shown. So we know Jehovah deals with the angels in an organized, orderly way. Hence, the reference “Jehovah OF ARMIES.” But what about the earth?

Shortly after Adam and Eve’s rebellion in the Garden of Eden, Jehovah made a very interesting statement. Genesis 3:15 says “And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.” Through the 1600 years the Bible was written this seed became revealed as Jesus Christ and his anointed brothers. If there was no organized nation of Israelites, and no organized group of Christ’s followers called “Christians”, it would have been impossible for this detailed and specific outworking of this prophecy to have come to fruition. So by dismissing the importance of organization opposers show great disrespect to Jehovah who is “a God, not of disorder” (1 Corinthians 14:33) and his way of fulfilling his prophecies. It’s been proven beyond a doubt that Jehovah for the overwhelming majority of his contact with his creation has used organization, in heaven, or on earth.

Professor Benjamin Kedar, a Professor of History and Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said in 1989: "In my linguistic research in connection with the Hebrew Bible and translations, I often refer to the English edition of what is known as the New World Translation. In so doing, I find my feeling repeatedly confirmed that this work [the NWT Old Testament] reflects an honest endeavor to achieve an understanding of the text that is as accurate as possible."[69]

And I have looked at the facts and determined its the right one.

As I have said in another thread if you step away from the religion and don't challenge you're familys beliefs you won't get disfellowshipped.

You will lose a portion of you're social circle? Why would be friends of JWs of you actively oppose what they are about?

Yep wolf in sheep clothing.
