Great quote!

In this millennial season, many people will come to you shouting that the end is near, and that the latest skirmish across the sea is surely the battle of Armageddon. Don't be frightened. You can tell them that, yes, the end is near; yes, the Apocalypse is now. But the Church has always taught that the end is near--as near as your parish church. And it's something you should be running to, not from.

--Scott Hahn, The Lamb's Supper, Doubleday 1999, p. 145

2 billion christians are running to church and the very bible they are reading from in Revelation states: "Satan, who led ALL the world astray"
"A FEW MEN LEFT" "The great harlot with blashemous titles"

What? only a few men left? not 2 billion christians or 6 million Jehovah's
witnesses? We have a serious problem here that needs to be figured out.

Church? I'll be running the other way.

I left the churches during the Viet Nam War era. That was a real eye-opener when I was young. Love being preached on Sundays in my Presbyterian church and at the same time, all young men were encouraged to kill for so-called democracy and freedom.

But all of this was nothing new. German so-called christian clergymen urged all Germans to give their all to their Fatherland even if it meant killing and wounding their spiritual brothers in other lands.

But this is true of all false religion. For example, the Iran-Iraq war when Moslem brother killed Moslem brother.

My respect goes to those that abide by Jesus' teachings of love. Why in fact, he told us that we would be able to recognize his true disciples by the love they would have amongst themselves.

(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."

Though imperfect, Jehovah's Witnesses get my respect. They would rather go to jail then to don the militaristic uniforms of this world, regardless of nation. Thus, they have love amongst themselves, as they are a world-wide united brotherhood found in 235 lands.

Yes I respect the Jehovah's witnesses as well for not falling into the
"way's of the world" and how they carry themselves, UNFORTUNATELY yhey are doing the work of satan by spreading the name of satan and blaspheming the Creators name by convincing 'Jehovah is the name of our Creator and in reality in the original language given to man "Hovah" carries the meaning: "Very wickid" "destroy" "ruin" "mischief" and that is a subtle deception by satan for humans to "worship" him and get humans to "whisper" his name to one another. Satan or the "Serpent" is in hebrew meaning" "the whispering enchanter" and NOT snake.

This is an "irriversable" mistake once the "truth" has been revealed to the witnesses.

Except that the "truth" has never been revealed. Your claim of the truth is available and you believe it is the "truth" but their claim to the truth is just as verifiable as your claim.
