Nicola: God's offer is the same for everyone, but He is Just, and He does what He says He will do.
So, all the coupons are not accepted.

Gnrlow:You are selling a lie!!! There is not such a promise outside of your own publications. YES. If your deal is true, I rather stay in the grave.
I want to be in heaven with God, I will not settle for any less. God keeps His promises.
But what you have to deal with that, the new generation might have some "new light" and you have followed the old light!!! Like big OOPS

Minnie: I will concentrate on JWs like it or not, you can always stay away if you do not like it. You are not rude. I am not either. Let's put it that way that I pay a lot of attention to that faith because I see it as a false religion and people should know about the differences we have...since JWs stubbornly call themselves Christians. Believe me, I would not spend this much time on them if they did not claim to be Christians.

If they are right (which they are not) I want to be at ground zero when the fairballs land.
I always worried about how I had to clean up the mess.

Dear Nina,
Have you ever been through an earthquake or a hurricaine or a tornado? The cleanup after the devasation of Katrina still isn't anywhere near done. I lived near the epicenter of the 1971 earthquake in California. That was 6.5 and absolutely horrible. I can't even begin to imagine an earthquake affecting the whole earth!
Now I ask you, how long would this so called paradise on earth remain paradise with the stress generated in the cleanup? I think it would max out in less than 5 minutes!
Can you even begin to imagine all the fighting that will break out over just where all the toxic waste will go. "NOT in my back yard." Where is the promised new heart and the right spirit in that? That certainly isn't my idea of paradise. People need to think things through to their logical conclusion.
I agree with you, Nina, in loving the LORD and wanting to be with Him. I want to be with Him and He is preparing a mansion in heaven with my name on it so there is no way that I would choose to disobey Him and stay behind. That would be like Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden all over again.
I am so grateful that you care enough about the lost to spend precious time trying to reach them NOW. Well done!
For His glory,
JOYfilled

I am not quite sure what the JW's do say about 'the last day' of the Bible.
But there are definitely prophecies at the end of the prophecy of Zechariah which speak about the time to come when Jesus will return to Zion/Jerusalem and there will be a tremendous earthquake.
But for those who have been faithful and obeyed God as best they can they do not have to be afraid.
If we commit our ways and our worries to God through His Son Jesus in prayer, we are told that His grace is sufficient for us. But sadly many churches deny that we are required to be baptized in water as Jesus himself gave the example. It is a recognition of his death and resurrection and the promise that we can have forgiveness through identifying with his suffering.
We cannot have a soft, cuddly faith. We need a vital, transforming faith that puts God first. We are to love one another and help our fellow man. By doing so Jesus said we are doing it for him.

The point is after a little time spent in clean up there will be eternity spent in paradise. Imagine all the beautiful spots in the world you have seen spread out over the entire planet. You in perfect health able to enjoy it.
Still desire the grave?
Additionally, what if you are one of the resurrected ones? In the grave until earth is ready for taking care of the restored from death people like Noah or Moses. They come back when the planet is well on its way towards paradise.

If jw's are right, then no one would be helping them anyway because according to them people sleep forever, so they would have their work cut out for them. Sleep sounds pretty good right now... I work shift work and could easily use that kind of sleep... I know I'll be with the Lord. JW's will be our footstools.

How do you know that they are going to be there, the bible does not list that this will be a work for JW's to do. Why not think about all of us that cover the earth as brothers doing the work, next thing the catholics will be claiming its their work.

Everybody has their version of the truth, fortunately the true God accepts all coupons.

Nina, I gotta tell you honestly and lovingly, I am really growing weary of the JW questions.... Sorry. JW is not something I personally recoginize, just like Mormon. I won't force my religion or opinion on you or anyone else. But I feel like you are bombarding us with your quest/ions for whatever you are looking for. Sorry sweetie. I don't mean to be mean or rude.
