In a very short while according to your beliefs, Jehovah is going to kill everyone in the world including children and babies who are not JWs. Are your consciences clear about that.

mrs_ nmdu but you tell us at our doors that being good is not good enough to be saved and that everyone other than JWs will die, it seems that as usual you are all givind contrasting accounts again of what will happen.

DEBBO - for forty years I have been told this by JWs I lived on the same street as The Kingdom Hall at that time and I still live less than half a mile away from the Kingdom Hall now . How could I have possibly be misinformed.

Osbouie - So your own conscience is not really happy about this coming massacre of children, so you have to pass the buck to Jesus

Take their morality with a grain of salt.
They don't go door to door because they love us or because God loves us. Don't believe this stuff, people. It's duplicity.

Was Noah ready when God caused a flood and all people were destroyed, except for him and the seven other faithful ones who worshiped Jehovah and obeyed his commandments? Noah preached for years to try to get the people to listen, but did they?
No, they laughed at him and ridiculed him and his family for doing what Jehovah commanded. Jehovah's Witnesses are doing the same thing as Noah; preaching to the world and warning people that Jehovah's Day of anger is readily approaching and he will again rid the earth of all wickedness and all who disregard his commandments. When the children died in the flood, their parents were responsible. If the parents had listened to Noah, their lives and the lives of their children would have been saved. Jesus said that the time of the end would be just as in the days of Noah. Our consciences will be clear and free of blood-guilt because we are giving the warning.
LOBT
Jasonan---The reason we warn people is because, like our God Jehovah, we do not want anyone to die. Our purpose is to save lives. Preaching worldwide is not an easy task, but we know it must be done and we are fulfilling the prophecies found at Matthew 28:19 & Matthew 24:14.

As followers of Christ JWs reject the pagan birthday and celebration of Christmas.
In doing so JWs reject the celebration of Children who are killed under the age of two which Trinitarians and other non followers of Jesus have no consideration for.
Matthew 2:16-18 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more."
Do you celebrate Christmas? Do you mourn for the children who died or are you to busy thinking of yourself and the gifts someone might buy you rather then what gifts you offer Christ?

Jehovah's Witnesses believe God will cleanse the Earth of all wickedness.
God has appointed Jesus Christ to judge humankind and I'm confident he will act as a perfect judge. There will be no innocent casulties when judgement is executed!
The Bible makes clear God's desire when at 2 Peter 3:9 it says:
"he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance"
Still God's day of judgement will come, so that the gross injustice that is prevalent in todays world can procede no further. Jesus described those whom he will preserve as his 'sheep'. The survivors are described at Re 7:9-17. They will be preserved into a righteous new world, they will form the basis of a righteous and just society.
The Bible does not directly tell us what Jesus judgement will be in regards to children. However Jesus compared this judgement to that of Noah's day when the earth was cleansed of extreme violence, what happened to young children at that time?
The only certain way to be judged by Jesus as one of his sheep, is by being active in true Christianity, that is just as the survivors are described in Rev 7.
My conscience it clear, because Jesus is the judge not me, it remains to be seen exactly what Jesus will decide about certain situations, I would not know where to start! Furthermore, as part of the most extensive preaching campaign in all history I'm doing my part in making known what the Bible says about this. People everywhere are being warned and have the opportunity to seek the truth and pursue true Christianity.

That's where you are wrong. It is not our belief that only Jehovah's Witnesses will be saved. It isn't up to us. We do know, however, that unlike conflicts between human nations, the battle of Armageddon will be selective in who dies. Jehovah knows what is in a person's heart. No one sinless or innocent will die.
Edit: In the case of an accountable individual that has been warned (such as yourself), being "good" is NOT enough.
Jehovah's Witnesses have never taught that Jehovah's Witnesses alone will be saved. The choice has always been and always will be up to Jehovah. I don't believe you have been misinformed. I believe you are intentionally slandering us.

Ready for it to happen again? I doubt Noah or Lot was really ready for it, but knew it was to come. The fault was not on their heads, or even God's, but on the heads of the parents who refuse to give up authority to God. So, what you should be asking is how will the parents feel when the time comes? I imagine they will feel just like the parents did as the flood waters rose, or the burning stone rained down from above. In their last moments, they will ask themselves why didn't they listen?

the "death" of those children is not on our hands ,thier parents response to the bad conditions mankind finds itself in now determines there outcome . we are searching for those "sighing "and "geoaning" when they see the system we live in. Do you think this is the life god intended when he placed adam and eve in eden . jehovahs wittnesses are not your judge,jury or your executionor we only go door to door because we love you and want you to know that god loves you and has a plan to set things right with his kingdom ruled by his son jesus christ, the image of the invisible god,the firstborn of all creation

I am a Christadelphian, and have read and studied the Bible every day for countless years. I have also talked frequently to JWs (who use their own version of the Bible) and none of them have ever been able to fully explain their beliefs. (Especially the one you are asking about). NO, there will not be a mass killing of babies and children ... But God will send His Son to the earth again and there will be a judgement on the earth, BUT YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AFRAID if you are willing to accept the teaching of the Bible. God does not exist to terrify us. He would have everyone to be saved, but it depends on the willingness of the person. Simple belief in the Bible, adult baptism, and a simple life in God, separated from the world (but still living in the world - monasteries and nunneries are no answer). Prayer (as essential as breathing), reading, meditation, reflection on the life of Christ. PS: I use the Authorised Version, not a version translated to reflect any wrong beliefs.

I would try to be ready if I believed in such pathetic religious twaddle.
What is Jehovah but the fancy name of a character in a story for which there is no factual or scientific evidence of its truth? What is the story of God but a myth created when the writers on the subject thought that the earth was flat and that the Sun was the centre of the Universe? It's strange, or perhaps not, that people who knew nothing about anywhere beyond the range of a trip on their donkeys thought they knew all about the creator of the Earth, as written by some local learned scribes.
Today, such drivel is accepted by some as truth via the words Faith and Belief, i.e. divine acceptance of the supernatural. Pull the other leg!!!
