my bf told me he heard that jehovah witness' believe there's going to be another flood for 40 days that will end the earth and if we aren't part of Jehovah witness' culture we will drown in the flood. Anyone want to tell me what they think?

I think you need to find a new bf who isn't insane.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe or teach that there will be another global flood. Such an accusation seems mostly intended to slander and demean. Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:
(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.
(Luke 6:22) “Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.
(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

I'd like to know where he heard such rubbish? I am a JW and that is simply not true!
Now, if you truly want to know the truth about the "last days" and how God will destroy the wicked and how everyone can be "saved" then maybe you should come to our district convention going on now, called "Deliverance At Hand". We accept people of all religions, nations and backgrounds. Not only JW's will be saved. The bible states that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous back to the earth. (Psalms 37:10,11).

In Genesis, God made a covenant with Noah and his family that said that God would never flood the earth again. To prove this, he created the rainbow. So, next time your with your boyfriend and you see a rainbow, tell him that the Jehovah's Witnesses are wrong because of it.

I'm Christian:
After the flood, God promised noah he wouldn't jack us up with some more water, so no, that won't happen.
Read Revalations in the bible for the Christian perspective.
I believe jehovah witness' are just as crazy as the rest of us

Hmmm. Bible says that the Lord will never destroy the earth in the same way, by flood, again.

The bible in the book of Genesis says no.

first of all, there's not going to be ''the end of the world", and secondly, I don't think that jw are the only and "best" Christians of them all
