Anyone who wants to be saved and live in the new system must gain accurate knowledge from the Bible. He must also change his personality in a way that pleases God and manifest the fruitage of the spirit, preach the good news and stay close to the only true God, Jehovah and of his organization.

"This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." -- John 17:3

"YOU should put away the old personality which conforms to YOUR former course of conduct and which is being corrupted according to his deceptive desires; but that YOU should be made new in the force actuating YOUR mind, and should put on the new personality which was created according to God’s will in true righteousness and loyalty." -- Ephesians 4:22-24

"On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control." -- Galatians 5:22,23

"... he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus." -- 2 Thessalonians 1:8

"He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters." -- Matthew 12:30

Does it not say in the Bible, just as in the days of Noah will these days be. Men were eating and drinking and women were getting married and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away. However there is no mention of wickedness in this scripture, the indication is that the normal toil of life is what is everyones pre-occupation and their taking no notice of the warnings of the bible is why many now living will face the final judgment of God !!

Your claim that the end is coming quickly has been repeated throughout history. Can you please be a little more specific? When exactly do you expect the end to arrive?

With more specificity, I can be more specific in my answer. However, if you wish to keep it general, here is my general answer:

I will continue to do what is correct and proper with the empathy and compassion taught to me by my good parents, whether the end is tomorrow or a millenia from now. I will continue to use the critical thinking to parse the truth from the propaganda.

The end of what? The world?

You do realize that people have been saying exactly the same thing for 2000+ years, right? And you also realize that every one of them has been wrong?? Do you also realize that all those people predicting "the end coming quickly" believed it just as thoroughly as you do now?

Do you have anything that the previous 2000+ years worth of doomsday prophets didn't have to suggest that you're right when they were all wrong?

Thought not.

Nothing. God has determined that christianity is his worst and most effective enemy on the face of this earth, and is determined to destroy it once and for all. The "rapture" is only for christians. After it is over, there will be no more wars, national conflicts, and mass killing and human slavery and repression because the source of these things will have been destroyed, and everybody else will be left here to carry on. The "thousand years of peace" will then be possible, and mankind can soar into progress unimpeded by repressive dogma,

The "wickedness of today" is evangelical Christianity- it's the most wicked creed on the planet.

What I will do is remember all religion is just silly stories.


Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

How terrible the bible in particular is:

I will continue to lead my life as I always have. People have been predicting the end of time since the beginning of time. In 999 people thought the world was ending. In the 1800s there were several movements that predicted the end of the world. What makes you think you know?

The end has been coming "quickly" for the past 2000 years. I'm not going to hold my breath.

people will have to know Jehovah before it is to late. they laughed at Noah when he said it was going to rain and when the ark closed by Jehovah, they tried to get in and could not get in. Pharaoh said who is Jehovah and he found out who Jehovah was. the meek shall inherit the earth that Adam and Eve lost. if everyone was going to heaven, why did Jehovah put us on earth to grow old, get sick, just to go back to heaven. he does not need us in heaven. he did not make the earth for nothing. just to get rid of it. www.watchtower.org
