Have you noticed?
JWs do not particpitate in wars...as Jesus commanded his followers to be pacifists (Matthew 26:52)...during the Holocaust, most of them were killed because they do not want to hold a rifle and fire it. They opt for civil service than military service (here in Austria) as it is required by law to take either.
JWs are united beyond color, language and race...here, there is district convention during July attended by 4 language dominations...German, English, Yugoslavian, Romanian. English being composed of Americans, Africans, Asians, English and others....but there is no discrimination among them...I guess that's what brotherly love is.

I think that we'd have a better earth if people were more spiritually oriented rather than religiously oriented. We are here to "grow" - to be better- inside and out. Its not a contest for the most in the church or state, the biggest whatever. Its an indiviual thing. Funny how so many religions preach non judgement but do just that. Wouldn't it be nice if we all just worried about how good and peaceful we EACH could be and stop pushing our self /beliefs on each other? (such a silly idea-right? ;0)

Think of it figuratively not as it's read.
Forget about religion for a moment and read that passage again.
the one way to find gods true followers would be that they would walk togther through out the earth.
Now as you know that is physically impossible. How can I walk with people throughout the World together. I can't. However I can unite with them and light the path for others to follow.
Again I will say unto you forget about religion when you think about this. These people will come from every walk of life, every religion/non religion showing the light for others to follow. I see you too as being a light if you want to; just keep God in your heart and he/she will never let you down.
Just have faith

Where did you read that there would be false prophets "around this time?" While both the bible and the koran say there will be false prophets, neither of them gives a timeline. The christian idea that "right now is the end times" has been around ever since christianity, every generation believed they were in the "end times" -- and they were all wrong. The bible even quotes jesus as saying that his contemporaries (people there with him) would be alive when he returned, indicating it would only be a few years until the "end times." It's 2000 years later, all of those people are long dead, and still nothing...you think maybe it was all just wishful thinking? A false prophecy from jesus...kinda makes you wonder about the entire premise, doesn't it? :)

there are false prophets and preaches which why the bible says test the spirit by the spirit.you need god's spirit to help you.you need the gift of discernment to be able to discern good from evil.i am a Christan and i do realize that Jew's are very organize.so are the Jews and the Amish.but you don't see people trying to corrupt their religions.you don't see people on TV trying to offer you holy water on TV for money or other type of scams.they live more peacefully.but all the more to realize that with the Christan faith its the truth.therefore Satan is always seeking a way to corrupt it. just as you know when god has something for you when Satan keeps attacking you.

I suppose God's true followers are those that don't identify with any of man's religions. They are the ones that walk the path of forgiveness, love and peace toward all humanity.

The essence of Vedanta is that there is yet one Being and that each and each soul is that Being in finished, no longer a ingredient of that Being. each and each of the sunlight is meditated in each and each dew-drop. appearing in time, area and causality, this Being is guy, as all of us comprehend him, yet at the back of all visual allure is the only certainty. Unselfishness is the denial of the decrease or obvious self. we could desire to unfastened ourselves from this depressing dream that we are those bodies. We could desire to properly known the certainty, "i'm He". we are no longer drops to fall into the sea and be lost; each and every physique is the entire, countless ocean, and could comprehend it whilst released from the fetters of phantasm. Infinity won't be able to be divided, the "One without 2d" can have not have been given any 2d, all is that One. The Vedanta says that the Soul is in its nature life absolute, awareness absolute, Bliss absolute. as a bring about Advaita philosophy, the entire universe is all one interior the Self it relatively is termed Brahman. That Self whilst curiously at the back of the universe is termed God. an analogous Self whilst curiously at the back of this little universe, the physique, is the soul. This very soul, as a result, is the Self in guy. there is basically one Purusha, the Brahman of the Vedanta; God and guy, analysed, are one in It. The universe is you your self, the unbroken you; you're via the universe. "In all palms you paintings, via all mouths you consume, via all nostrils you breathe, via all minds you think of." the entire universe is you; the universe is your physique; you are the universe the two shaped and unformed. you are the soul of the universe and its physique additionally. you're God, you are the angels, you're guy, you're animals, you are the vegetation, you are the minerals, you're each and everything; the manifestation of each and everything is you. regardless of exists is you. you are the countless. The countless won't be able to be divided. it could have not have been given any factors, for each little thing could be countless, and then the section could be same with the entire, it relatively is absurd. as a result the thought you're Mr. So and so can never be authentic; that's a daydream. comprehend this and be unfastened. it quite is the Advaita end. you are able to no longer stick to God, which will advise that God is limited. God is everywhere.

People have been seeing the end of the earth is here for centuries and it may be for many more centuries as well. The only thing that is true is each day we are one day closer - but when that day is - know one ever knows.
Good Luck!!!

Mot sure where the question is but I, as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, am rather proud of the fact that we Witnesses are not content to stick with doctrine. That is why we stopped celebrating Christmas, stopped thinking Jesus died on the Cross, stopped purporting Jesus as a clean shaven man etc.

the way to determine who is a true believer is to ask them the following question:
Is Jesus Christ God?
those who can't answer with a truthful yes are not true believers. They will usually hee-haw around with such nonsense as "Jesus was a prophet of God" or "Jesus is (only) the Son of God".......
not good enough!
Jesus is GOD!
Isaiah 9:6
Merry Christmas!
