I'm having a hard time with this. Can you back up any of these supernatural ideas you have. While the saints remain on earth, you will be taken out by God? Where in church doctrine is this stated, where in scripture because I can't find it. It must be supported by a faith. Did the people of WWII have the same mindset, did they live in the end-times too? My concern is the accuracy of your claims, interpretations, and the damage done otherwise. In my heart of hearts, the saints are the only ones worthy of the honor, the rest can wait.
When is your ship coming in, and when do you sail off, and where are you going?

*Israel is ready to strike Iran, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Thursday, as tensions between the two countries continue to mount.
*Israel warns Tehran is only '10 weeks away' from acquiring weapons-grade materials
For the past 40 years Israel has been repeating this mantra of crying wolf.
Israel is not behaving in its best interests against Iran. Instead of brokering peace, they welcome evil with threats of attack. Let's not forget Iran takes part in the sacking of Israel ( Ezekiel 38:7), so any offensive can be costly.

Thanks for responding, Years ago I too used to try to minister to the JW, I learned quite a bit about their beliefs, I studied on how to minister to them as well as the Mormons, and Muslims. The JW's have a systematic doctrinal Defense against our faith. They have organized little books in their briefcase on how to deal with difficult doctrine we may lay on them. They try to take what's going on in the secular world and appeal to your flesh using the watchtower magazine. They attempt to draw a picture of us being in the tribulation period and it's up to them to usher in the kingdom. They don't go after those who is strong in their faith. They prey on the unlearned mostly. Their goal is to get you to come to one of their conventions so you can see the numbers. They have been brainwashed to believe they have the truth. They believe the Holyspirit is a force and not God and the spirit don't indwell the believer. Anything you try to present to them they treat it like a curse. " Prayer, literature, your Bible, ect." It seems to give them confidence when you reject them because they think they travel through the narrow gate. They seem to take it as confirmation. I guess that's why the scripture says don't give such a group God speed. I must admit I'm confused at this because now how do you minister to them? It's like they are damned. I would suggest Prayer, I don't think I was ever able to win any over to Christ but I've been able to wrestle some of their targets out of their grip. As I say this has been many years ago.
God bless.
God bless you.
Their doctrine doesn't Just deny the Jesus we know, They also deny the bodily resurrection.
Thanks
God bless.
Please do not take this the wrong way because I know you love the Lord and have a true concern for the spiritual welfare of others. Everything you share is out of love and concern for others, so the motives of your heart are quite evident. If the Lord puts it on your heart to go door to door with the gospel, you're to be commended. But we should not commend those who are going from door to door spreading a false gospel. The JW's are listed as one of the largest cult groups in the world. They are spreading a false gospel and should not be commended for that regardless of their zeal.
I've spoken to some JW's in the past and from my experience, it is almost impossible to share with them the same Jesus that you and I know and love. They do not want to hear it. They refuse to hear it. I have nothing against a believer going door to door, but only if the Lord is putting it on their heart to do so, otherwise the Lord is not going to bless that, even if they are "doing it for the Lord!"
I still have them, along with the Mormons come to my door on occasion. I refuse to let them into my home. I am never rude to them. I just tell them I'm not interested and they leave. We are told in 1 John 1:10 that those who come to you bringing false doctrine, we are not to let them into our house, neither bid them God speed (Well greetings), because if we do, we are partakers with them in their evil deeds. Evil deeds are not to be commendable.
Again, please don't take this the wrong way. What what you are doing is completely different than what the JW's are doing. You may do things like going door to door because the Lord is putting it on your heart to do so, but they are going door to door for a different reason. They go door to door because each one of them has a quota that they must meet each month. The Lord is not going to bless that because it is not of Him. The Lord will never send people to your door to bring a false gospel, false doctrine, or a false Jesus!
He gave his laws to guide us, teach us and to help us remember Him as our Creator.
Lucifer, the light bearer, decided to take the place of our Creator. He took one third of the angles to believe him. He also wants to claim the earth. His wants to destroy our connection to our Creator by destructing our attention, destroying the Word of God(or changing it) and through persecution of people who follows God's comment.
God says, "Keep my commandments"
Any one who teaches different is the Antichrist. Which means, only you could follow God's Word or by not following, becoming Antichrist.
Anyone who wants to follow Christ, will find opposition and persecution.
The christians were persecuted, they couldn't worship God: so many came to America. Is it possible that the Beast rising up from the Earth is America?
Do Americans have freedom today as was 100-200 years ago?
Maybe things are changing, not for better.
However our faith is in God, who gave proof of His love towards us, humans by sending his Son, Christ to us. Have faith in God and his Son, Jesus Christ.
It's like, they know, but don't want to admit to it. I told them I was a street evangelist for Jesus Christ. I was not ever going to toss out what I know to be true. They stopped trying to convert me. I don't know how that's going to pan out for them.
I hope that as real prophesy and the end times speed up, they might think that Christianity is the Truth. Like Ezekiel, we tell them the TRUTH, so their blood is not on our hands, so-to-speak. We've done our best to communicate it. Then we pray for the Holy Spirit to do the part that we cannot do: convict them of their Need of Jesus, for sins.
I NEVER apologize for what God requires to be born again. We have to agree we sin. It's there like a big Stop Sign at the intersections of life.
How can 2 walk together unless we be agreed, as touching the truth. It was last Christmas, that I let my JW friends know we were not going to be able to agree on who or what TRUTH IS. It's Jesus Christ. He's knocking on the door of our hearts.
I have very strong convictions about television and media, but I do not force anyone to share that with me. I find the Bible to be entertaining. I LOVE to tell the stories. Like, how Gideon was hiding from God behind a wall, lol. Like, don't pick me; pick someone else. God saw something in him that Gideon didn't see. God really was patient through the fleece process. Then Gideon finally agrees, and the Lord whittles his army down to some guys who drink water with their eyes UP looking for the enemy. That's humor, drama, everything.
There's a lot of stories like that. And it's sad that more people can't communicate this to others.
The problem lies in handed down man made doctrines. Rather that reading the accounts for themselves, they choose the easy path as opposed to the path less traveled. The answers are there for the taking. Discerning the word equals dividing the truth.
