I wouldn't worry, the Jehovahs Witnesses are the most wrong thing around. They aren't going to be right about anything. Don't know anything about the loony moonys except they sure have a lot of multiple weddings.

Well, lets see....
First, they said Jesus came back to earth invisibly in 1874.
And that He would spend 40 years gathering them together and take them to heaven in 1914.
And that he would fully establish the Kingdom of God in the earth in 1914.
And that he would take away the power of the Gentile nations in 1914.
When that didn't happen, they said that He would destroy all the churches, except for them, in 1918
Then they said Abraham, et al would be resurrected in 1925
Then after that, they stopped making predictions, so they said
But there was that little matter of 1975 when they said it wouldn't be by accident, but by the design of the Great Timekeeper Jehovah if the 1000 year reign began in that year of 1975, since that would be the 7th 1000 period of the seventh creative day
And that little matter of saying that the Battle of the Great Day of Jehovah would begin in the 20th century
The Bible says that if the prophecy fails, you shouldn't be afraid of the prophet, so
I wouldn't worry about it if I were you

you don't have to subscribe but why not make an educated judgement about what you think ,AFTER learning FROM the Jehovah's witnesses what they believe in and teach.
Maybe you might find its the best thing you ever did?

I'm a witness. Its not about if we are right. But I wont go into that.
may I suggest you just pick one up and read it? You can form your own ideas.
You know, I hope you aren't being sarcastic. But the rest of humanity, based on their actions of kindness and faith in God, will be okay. The rest will just not exist anymore. No hell, no heaven, just gone.

If those are your two choices, become a Witness...
If you are looking to become a true Christian become a Witness..
If this is your best effort at humor...
Become a Moonie....

There wouldn't happen anything special to the large rest of humankind.
Jehovah's witnesses would stay hidden & numb in their windowless churches and nobody else will care about this.
I don't like apocalyptic movements.

Jesus and Jehovah and the final judges of mankind at Armageddon. The Scriptures teach that they will look at each person's "fruits", the evidence of supposed godly devotion.
(Matthew 7:17-23) Likewise every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit; 18 a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. 19 Every tree not producing fine fruit gets cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Really, then, by their fruits YOU will recognize those men. 21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not ...perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.
The best way to assure one's survival is to learn NOW what God requires, and work to meet those requirements.
(John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
(2 Peter 3:18) No, but go on growing in the undeserved kindness and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him [be] the glory both now and to the day of eternity.
What group is working harder than any other to help their neighbors learn about God's requirements? Jehovah's Witnesses.

They are not right, as such. Neither are Christians or any other religeous beliefs.
There is no such thing as god. People Thousands of years ago made them/him/her up to explain unknown mysteries, like why did the river Nile flood this summer and drown drown all our crops? or were did this plague of death come from? it can't have been the muck in the streets so a high and mighty someone up in the sky (because we can't go up there) did it to spite us.
See, all a load coddswallop. You'll be fine.
