First false religion, then counterfeit government.
Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom will soon replace all earthly governments.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite
That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire
While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]
Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

advantages in Jesus, Moises: Your are so appropriate. God is wooing hearts to acquire His super love as take place interior the sacrifice of His Son. He provided Him to forgive everybody of their sins, and whilst they ask, he's greater keen to offer the Holy Spirit than you're to offer your toddler sturdy presents. How unhappy that a number of of do no longer make the right possibilities. Jesus is our Messiah, and he won't by ability of any ability sparkling the accountable. He advised the paralytic and prostitute: Sin not greater. the girl on the properly became shacking. whilst she asked for the "residing water", He did no longer provide it, yet suggested: "the place is your husband." confident, God has human beings in ALL religions, even the pagan varieties. Many have been taught fables from infancy, yet God is conscious His very own, and he will call them in the previous the super day of reckoning. Shalom, Ben Yeshua

Yes it sure is. Very near. You should be glad look at all the problems false religion has caused? Soon the governements will all turn on religion in and effort to end war. Nothing anyone can do can stop it. Because God is going to put it into their hearts to do it. Because they do such terrible things in god's name they deserve to die.

It is very reminiscent of their 1911 campaign.
Watch Tower 1911 June 15 “October, 1914, will witness the full end of Babylon, “as a great millstone cast into the sea,” utterly destroyed as a system.”
And their 1920's campaign
Studies In the Scriptures Series VII - The Finished Mystery (1917) p.258 “Even the republics will disappear in the fall of 1920. Every kingdom of earth will pass away, be swallowed up in anarchy"
And who could forget the great "Millions now living will never Die" campaign for the end of false religion in 1925.

It doesn't surprise me at all. Most religions teach that they alone have the RIGHT answers and what all the rest teach is false. This is standard operating procedure.
Here's a link to the pamphlet titled "The End of False Religion is Near!" http://www.reachouttrust.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=41972&sid=48c84f080306698d476988502961f3c6
And in PDF format: http://www.reexamine.info/00s/the_end_of_false_religion_is_near.pdf
As religious propaganda goes, it's pretty tepid stuff. Nothing special.

Haven't heard about it. No one really knows when the end of false religion will be just like we don't know when the end of the world will be. Live life to the fullest and hope for the best.

Well, what I like about the Jehovah Witness is that they say it loud what they think and believe, not like hypocrites :) Though I do not believe in any religion, I find them among the most fervent in faith.

It is going to make serious minded people stop and think about what they are taught and believe.
One thing Jesus will do when he returns, is get rid of "false religion" along with anyone practicing it.
What is false religion?
Why does religion seem to be at the root of so many problems?
The fault lies, not with all religion, but with “false” religion.
False Religion...MEDDLES IN WAR AND POLITICS: How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?
False Religion...SPREADS FALSE DOCTRINE: Most religions teach that the soul of spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected, an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?
False Religion...TOLERATES IMMORAL SEX: Church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy. What, though, does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men.” 1 Cor. 6:9,10 Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?
God will call false religion to account for all the despicable acts she has committed in his name.
What must you do if you do not want to share the fate of false religion? "Get out of her, my people," Rev. 18:4, Now is the time to flee from false religion! But to where can you flee? Not into atheism, since its future is also bleak. The only haven is within true religion
How to identify true religion.
True Religion...PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.
True Religion...TRUSTS GOD'S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible
True Religion...STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HIGH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,” helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”

My opinion is they should close the doors to their temples (or whatever they call them), and that would bring the world closer to the end of false religion.
