To Ros
Hello, If You read the words of Paul you will notice it's a putting ON immortality like new clothing not taking off humanity. God is a Tri-Unity Being and being in his image we also are a Tri-unity being... Spirit, Soul, Body. I like the wording in the Living Bible read 2Corinthians cha 5 vs 1-10. I love the wording in vs 3 "For we will not be spirits without bodies, but we will put on new heavenly bodies.
I hope this helps

You MUST be BORN_AGAIN to be a Real True Christian.Or you won't even see that Kingdom nevermind about getting your foot in the door you won't see any part of it Earthly, Heavenly etc, if your not Born-Again. No Way around that Jesus Said So Himself! John3:3 Read the whole cha of it, Nicodemus is like your typical JW knows an follows all the laws but wasn't free he was missing something. An when talking to Jesus ("undercover" in fear so the elders wouldn't see him) Nicodemos found out he didn't know much of anything. He needed the Real Jesus and Believe an Trust in Him not a bundy of laws that can't take away sin. Remember Jesus Does what the law couldn't do Forgive All Sins like Murder etc etc ROMANS 10:4 and Saves completely Herbrews 7:25!
Everyone can be Born Again not just 144,000 Read 1John 5:1
Now for your Question on Baptize:That is a Yes an No answer let me explain. If you accepted the Lord(Alimighty God in the Flesh) as your Personnal Savior Then you should get Baptize asap. I did, I found a nice Evangelical Church to go too. I then talked with the Pastor and I got Baptized. If was very easy to do. Now lets say your going to get baptize or have plans too and you get in a car crash and died. God is not going to say well you didn't go under the water sorry. God is Not like that. Like the Repented Man next to Jesus on the Cross, He Believed in Jesus yet couldn't get baptize because of the sitution he was in. If he could he would of, get it. Yet he still was saved! So if you are Born-Again you need to get Baptize asap to let everyone know of your new found faith and it's peace of mind from coming out of that JW cult. You are able to get baptize if your able to type on this site. So Go look in the Yellow pages and get Dipped!
Also The JW's, Mormons, SDA etc,etc ALL HAVE THE WRONG JESUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT GOSPEL! NOW THAT YOU HAVE THE REAL TRUTH (JESUS IS GOD IN THE FLESH) YOUR SAVED BY GRACE NOT BY WORKS EPHESIANS 2:8. JUST BELIEVE/TRUST AND HAVE FAITH. ASK JESUS TO WASH YOU IN HIS BLOOD REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND ASK JESUS TO LIVE IN YOU READ JOHN 1:12,13! SAY THANK YOU FOR THE FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE JOHN 11:25 IN JESUS NAME AMEN! YEAH YOU ARE NOW A BLOODWASHED BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN! WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD!

i may have asked this question before awhile back but i was not able to find it in the search.
other than what the nwt provides for information.. how do the jw's provide proof for this no hell belief?
Leolaia,
Thanks for the info. I'm still learning an don't know everything. There are alot of things in the Bible we just don't know but are great to talk about you know. Thanks alot I will read more on all this.
to Nark: You can only serve one master not two just like Jesus said. One day you will have to make a choice if you haven't already. Who evr you pick then that's where you will go to be with, God In Heaven or Satan in Hell.Just please get into your Bible an do your research.
God is Good it's not his fault that things are the way they are ,remember Man could of stopped all this from happening it they stayed away from that damn tree LOL. Ok things got messed up and this is Gods way of fixing it once an for all. It's all about trust, we don't know why God did it this way or that way. We just have to trust Him an say I don't understand it all but I trust you LORD that it will all work out for the better. Just like Hell/Judgement why is there a place like that. Well the Bible just said that it was perpared for Satan & his demons.An That sin puts you there, Thats what we are told from scripture. However God made away out for Everyone (Humans) But only Few find that way out which is faith in Jesus. Satan comes in an tries to prevent people from finding that light that way out. It's sad and I don't know all the facts and I feel for you, and if I came off the wrong way I'm sorry ok. I just tell it like it is no beating around the bush you know. He doesn't want people going to hell that's why he gave his only Son. But people think hell is not real an they make jokes an stuff, Satan is the one who is feeding people those lies. Now if those people who joked about Hell an stuff come to find out its Real (Which it is) then I bet you they would take back everything they said. Just read up on the people who will be in Hell. Gods word makes it clear what type of people who will be in Hell. Also, yes Hell is a lake of fire but it's also outer darkness, worn die not, Fire wind, different chambers etc.So Hell must be like a BIG PRISON with different levels an chambers rooms etc. Also there will be degrees of torment in Hell for things done in the flesh. Hell is for the Unsaved/ Unrepented
Just do some Bible reading to Check these things out ok.

to Eyebrow,Gumby an the others
first Job must of known about what sheol was like. In the book of Luke about the rich man etc we see that in hades or sheol that there were two rooms or sections in hades one for the bad souls an one for the good souls/repented ones. When Christ went up to Heaven after 40 days he took all the good souls with him because the way to Heaven became opened. Read in the book of Matthew when the curtain ripped when Christ died, read all the way thur. Talks about the holy people in the tombs getting there New bodies Matt. Cha 27 vs 51-52 NIV Bible. For us now we have to wait for the Rapture to get are New bodies. The People of old testment had to wait along time in Hades for theres, so it makes sense. Anyway until the rapture if a believer dieds the Soul/Spirit goes to be with the LORD ,waiting up in Heaven to get his new bodies at that time.
Now for Gumby reply, for starters I'm Proud Of My God of the Bible. Well God knows the Beginning an End ok, Take Pharaoh an all the nasty people of the Bible for example Even if God didn't do anything/step in he/they still would have been Bad & Mean.An God knew that, So God just put those people through out history like pieces on a chess board to fufill his Divine Plan. Why he even forthsaken of argument Gave them chances to repent and they didn't. I believe just what the Bible said and if Jesus taught about Heaven an a Hell which he did, then I'm going to believe him and take his word for it.You know the Bible is the Only thing thats makes any real sense about what is going on here on earth. How sin got started, how people would act and about the signs of the times, everything an about how to escape the fate of this world/sin. You can do what you want, the Bible is there just pick it up an read it with out anything getting in the way. Just take it for what it is.
Jesus is God. For starters there are over 300 old testament prophecies pointing to that promise seed (Jesus). Jesus fulfilled all the ones that applyed to his first coming even the way he was to died! and he will fulfill the others at his second coming. Me personal I can't just brush that off. I believe the Bible as the Word of God you want prove just read an get into the word. Pick a topic then pray for direction then start seaching, have a good friend help you and have fun.
Look, in the end everyone will find out who was right an who was wrong, an if there is away to change your future for the better wouldn't you at least try to do something about it, I know I would an I did. Thats my two cent and a dime!

Hell is a very Real place. Jesus taught more about Hell then he did on Heaven. Also he taught more about Money then about Heaven & Hell.
Yes God is Love But He is also a Just God. People who don't believe in the soul most likely don't believe in Hell.
In the book of Revelation it states that the Devil and the false P's were Tormented day an night for ever. It means just that.
God is offering Eternal Life so if you refuse that, then the Just thing to do from an Eternal viewpoint is Eternal Torment.
In a human court system we Judge People by are human life span which is about 70-80 years but we know people can live well into there 90's
For Example:a human judge might say to a murderer, I give you life in prison a 100 year for each murder which equals 300yrs.
that is just from a Human viewpoint however God is judging us from His viewpoint which is Eternal. That's my two cent.
If you've accepted Jesus as your Personal Savior & Lord then you need not fear Judgement. Like Paul said in Phi. "to died is to Gain".
also in Hebrews 9:27 Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment. You have to be conscience in order to be Judged.
There are tons of scriptures on all this just do your research and take it for what it is, Its not hard do people.
i have met a wonderful man but unfortunately he is a jw.
i have never been interested or really ever been around any religion in my life so all of this right now is very fascinating to me.
i have been thinking of studying to become one but am also having a hard time finding anything on the net that is positive about it.

I can help you. I'm a Bloodwashed Born-Again Christian, If you give me your address by e-mail I can send you some useful info in the form of little booklets on varies topics. I can also help you on scriptures, because the JW's take scripts out of there Context. I can help you just using the Bible alone an nothing else. Please e-mail me I've helped Many People an brang them to Christ! I was a JW for 23 years , Then I read the Bible without the Watchtower an awake and Boy it was like opening a can of worms.Then I found the Real Truth the Real Jesus and the Real Hope. I also did a back round check an I was in Shock, the Lies they told and False end of the world dates etc etc. I then Left the JW's an never looked back. I became Born-Again by accepting the Real Jesus of Scripture into my Heart & life as my Personal Lord & Savior. Found a nice Chruch to go to an got baptize. You see a Cult will not appear all nasty up front, you have to look inside the Cup to see how dirty it is. They use there mag's to promote there False Teachings.
John 14:6 Jesus is the WAY, the Truth, the Life
It means Just that. Not any Org. like the JW's, Mormons, SDA, etc etc

all these shows lately on telly - like nip/tuck etc.
highlighting cosmetic surgery got me to thinking of about 20 odd years ago as a dub..how prevalent cs was.
i knew two young women (aged about 17 / 18) who had breast reduction operations in the same cong, of course it was very `hush, hush` at the time but considering it was a small country cong - that seems like a rather high ratio of non-necessary surgery to me........any other experiences of this?
Well it's like this all....
Anything you do to your body is Cosmetic losing weight,Colored Contacts, Tanning, Makeup etc. Even if you get a nose job to fix breathing problems it is cosmetic. You want beauty and people will pay for it weather at a store or a doctor.The Cosmetic business is over 1 Billion Dollars! People have alway tried to to alter beauty to look better or different. How about the Egyptians with there Long Black str8 haired wigs etc etc. After the fall of man Perfect Beauty would be losted. I think because of are modern Hi-Tech world we are able to do more of it.If people can't look totally perfect then they try to come close to it. That's why most plastic surgery looks fake because it's Perfect Boobs on an IMperfect body. Not to say cosmetic is wrong, No. I'm all for change and I look at it this way, Jesus will be my Divine surg.. I can't wait to get my New Body an be with Jesus Forever. The JW's are being cheated because they believe in there false doctines!
When I'm in Heaven I don't know how I will look but I do know I'm going to be Hot
from looking at various cult information, and warning signs of an unsafe group i beleive the jw's to be a cult, but how did they become one?
it started as a religious periodical in the 1870s, and somehow progressed to being a faith, a religion, and then from there progressed to become a cult.
when did this happen, and how?
TO: CZAR
Important Fact " Jesus IS Alimighty God in The Flesh"
Jesus said in the book of John "Unless YOU Believe That I AM, You will die in your sins"
God the Father uses the Name I AM in Ex. 3:14
Hope this helps!
for everyone's convenience, i've summarized my synthesis into a short number of postulates.
please tell me which of my propositions are provably false and therefore biblically inadmissible.. the godhead is a heavenly trio of three living persons: the father, the son, and the holy spirit (matthew 28:19, 3:13-17, 2 corinthians 13:14, ephesians 4:4-6, 1 peter 1:2 and revelation 1:4,5).the father is all the fullness of the godhead bodily, and is invisible to mortal sight.the son is all the fullness of the godhead manifested (colossians 2:9 cf.
john 1:1).
The Holy Spirit is three Person of the Trinity.....Read Act cha. 5 for the Deity of the Holy Spirit (He is called God) vs4 and in vs 3 he can be lied too ,so in order to be lied too you have to be alive, Person, frame of Mind, etc etc Not a inactive force as the Cults teach. Acts Cha 5 vs 3,4 gets them everytime.
