This is from our study in the Revelation book at bookstudy...I have bookstudy Monday night...and I really enjoyed the study extra extra last night with the description of the little scroll that John took from the strong angel's(Jesus) hand and ate a piece of. To us the message is sweet because it means salvation and peace for Jehovah's loyal servants, but for wicked ones it is a bitter message...a message of doom....what experiences have you had out in the ministry or what do you think of this particular study. I love it...and the picture on page160 with the different people's reactions.

I had my meeting this morning. this book is getting better each week. as you see how nasty people are toward us. they will have to learn about Jehovah God before it is to late. just like in Noah's day when they laughed at him

We had our study Monday. We are in the English speaking group of a Hungarian congregation so we treasure our studies because it is the only time we get anything in English, (apart from our monthly WT and TMS). Every other meeting is in Hungarian, we can't understand properly.
Yes, I thought of all those who bad mouth Jehovah, who believe that he is not the One True God but part of a Trinity, those who mock and ridicule his people, just as they did to Jesus. What a day it will be when the words of Ezekiel are fulfilled, "They will have to know that I am Jehovah!" Ez. 38 v 23.

Strangely enough- that very picture on page 160 made me interested in the truth. A JW at school wanted me to read the book, and I said "Ah- you Watchtower people with your lies!!".
Then the JW said "You are like this man here" (the one at the bottom of the page waving the brother away.)
I felt bad, after all- it is God's Word. I read the book- learnt about the 144,000...... that's all I remembered from my reading (you have to admit- the Revelation book is HEAVY stuff if you've never talked to a JW before!!)
Well, to cut a long story short...... here I am!!!

We have our bible book study on Thursday. Last week we analyzed that chaper and I also loved it. It gives so much hope that when Armageddon comes we will be happy cuz that means that we will finally have salvation and be free, unlike the evil people who will not benefit from it cuz they will be destroyed for good.
I personally cant wait for that moment to come and see the reactions in the evil people´s faces when that glorious moment arrives, cuz the chapters says that-those evil people that enjoy this world and its pleasures will feel bitter when it comes to an end, but for us it be a moment of celebration. I cant wait to see destroyed those people who have done me wrong, and they will see me and know that I will survive becuz I was good and love and serve Jehovah, unlike them who will get destroyed due to their bad actions..

My book study is today. I look forward to this weeks study of the Revelation book!
Thank you for sharing this with me.
Yes, Butterfli. They will be knocking at our doors. But Jehovah will shut the door, just as He shut the doors of the ark. Just as in Noahs day.

You know, it's ironic and sad how there are all these responses from "Christians" bad-mouthing Jehovah's Witnesses and not really showing a Christ-like attitude. It's even more obvious now that these "Christians" are hypocrites for not showing the love that Jesus encouraged us to show!
- John 13:34,35 - "I am giving YOU a new commandment, that YOU love one another; just as I have loved YOU, that YOU also love one another. 35 By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”

I like when you show people from their bible Gods name. This one older lady even had that page marked.
people ask about Armageddon and the last days but they turn off and shut down when they realize they have to work to possibly be saved.

So butterfly, you believe you will be ressurected with the righteous huh? You will be watching all the evil people be destroyed and having a good time? You will be okay becasue you are good? Do you have the guts to compare yourself to God's standard of goodness and see if you really make it?
Have you ever told a lie, incluidng white lies, half-truths, and exagerations? Have you ever look at another with sexual desire,for women includes desrie to hug kiss and cuddle? Have you ever taken anything that did not belong to you regaurdless of your age and the value of the thing? Have you always honored your father and mother in a way that is pleasing to the Lord? Have you ever used God's name in a way that is not correct or irrevrant?
If you have answer yes to all these questions you are a liar, thief, adulterer, blasphemer, not to mention that dishonor's your parents which is the only comand with a promise. That is just a few of the Ten Commandments, God's standard of judgement. Remember if you break one, you have borken them all accoridng to God as recorded in the book of James.
The Bible records in Revelation chapter 20 that all liars will have thier part in the lake of fire. ! Cor. I think chapter 6 tell us that no thief or adulterer will inherit eternal life/kingdom of hevean.
By your own beleif you will be destroyed, but if we take the Bible to mean what it says, you will be cast into a lake of fire were there will be gnashing of teeth, and the worm will not die. This will be eternal because you have sinned against and eternal and infinetly loving God.
I personally do not have glee that anyone, even my ex-wife, recevie this just reward. That is why I shared the gospel with her, and that is why I am sharing the gospel with you.
God did make a way for you to be forgiven. He has sent His only begotten Son, and if you will believe in Him you will have eternal life.
A few things to note, Jesus had to lay down his life. How can He lay down His life unless it is his own. All humans and the angels have no life of thier own, so they can not lay it down.
God in Proverbs says that he who justifies the wicked and He who condems the innocent are an abomination. So if God created an innocent being to die for us, God becomes an abomination to himself. Also who can l with stand the wrath of God? Both questions require God himself. Jesus was the Son of God, not some angel created like the others.
As long as you continue to trust in your own goodness to save you, you will be required to keep the whole law without deviation according to the warning in the book of Galations.
Read the book of Romans or the Gospel of John, without a supplement by Watch Tower to guide you. Ask God to guide you and you will see the truth.

Sweet message, but sooooo wrong. God will know your heart. You can fool here many people, but God's judgment is Just. The picture in the end is going to be totally different what your organizaion feeds you.

I think its annoying that you show up on my doorstep at random times. And I also think its annoying that you condesend my beliefs.
Don't you think if God wanted me to be a Jehovahs Witness I would already be one? I mean if he is all powerful why does he need you to go door to door bothering people.
