Christians, what do you think about the Jehovah's Witness message of carnage and destruction at Armageddon?

Question

Do the questions claiming that everyone who isn't a Jehovah's Witness is a Satanist or part of the Antichrist endear you to them?

What does the Bible say about judging others and condemning them?

Answer 1

Their message of Armageddon is designed to frighten unwary, Biblically ignorant persons into joining their cult. I find this deeply offensive because when I was a teenager I had a very painful experience at a church of a mainstream (NOT a JW) denomination, on a turn-or-burn theme, which gave me nightmares for weeks. My dad was furious with the minister there & chewed him out 😆



The Revelation, which is what most apocalyptic scenarios are based on, is mostly symbolic. It's designed to reassure Christians that our futures in heaven with our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ARE SECURE 😀 (Revelation 22). By the grace of God-literally, the grace of God-I've come to understand that, since that episode 40 years ago.



But I was almost permanently soured on God & religion generally, so I know that fire-&-brimstone preaching, whatever the denomination or religion, usually does more harm than good. Telling people how much God loves them instead, is not just honest but far more effective ♰

Answer 2

hi there



which one?

the armageddon of 1918?

or the one of 1925?

how about the one for 1975?

or the 20th century?

or soon?

or very soon?



Also, in the year 1918, when God destroys the churches wholesale and the church members by millions, it shall be that any that escape shall come to the works of Pastor Russell to learn the meaning of the downfall of “Christianity.”

The Finished Mystery 1917, p 485

it like, if the watchtower sets a date, you can breathe a sigh of relief because it certainly won't be then.





oh we're all satanists now?



when they told me that i checked what satanists teach. turns out to be similar to the watchtower position - antitrinitarian.

LaVey shaved his head as part of a formalized founding ritual, in the tradition of medieval executioners, carnival strongmen, and black magicians before him, to gain personal power and enhance the forces surrounding his newly-established Satanic order. It was the enactment of an allusion at the end of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Kubla Khan: an incantation rejecting the Holy Trinity and the spiritual life in favor of one devoted to Hell and material pursuits.

this watchtower crowd really need to be fact checked. virtually everything they say is twisted downside up and outside in.

Answer 3

Christians SHOULD believe that also because it's in their bibles too!!



Matthew 25:31-34, 41, 46

“But when the Son of Man[d] comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32 All the nations[e] will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.



“Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. 46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”



2 Thessalonians 1:7-9

He [Jesus] will come with his mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with eternal destruction,..



So, don't you believe that those who don't share your beliefs will be destroyed and burning in hell forever? The only difference between what you teach and what JW's teach is that they believe death is simply returning "to the dust" whereas you believe the persons spirit will be in a burning torturous fire dimension.

Answer 4

The point is not who is a Jehovah's Witnesses but who is

actually serving Jehovah. There a some who were baptized as a Jehovah's Witness who if not living up Jehovah God's standards will also be destroy at Armageddon.

Ezekiel 9:4-6

4 Jehovah said to him: “Go through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who are sighing and groaning+ over all the detestable things that are being done in the city.”+

5 And to the others he said in my hearing: “Go through the city after him and strike. Do not let your eye feel sorry, and do not feel any compassion.+ 6 Old man, young man, virgin, little child, and women you should kill off completely.+ But do not go near to any man on whom there is the mark.+ You should start from my sanctuary.”+ So they started with the elders who were in front of the house.+

Answer 5

Perhaps the answer to this can best be summed up by looking at some of the comments made on a Jehovah’s witness forum I visited recently. Under the question “How do you picture the day after Armageddon”?.

Below are some of the replies:



“After checking on family and praying - to say thank you! I look around to see what grocery stores have any bacon, because darn it! I will have me some bacon to celebrate”



“we will be singing and dancing, perhaps this is related to why the GB currently gives focused attention to our songs”.



“Relief but at the same time trying to deal with disappointments of those I thought would get into the new system but didn't.”



“My daughter was joking in the car the other day, asking me if I've seen the beautiful house two blocks away from ours.

She said she was eyeing that one to move into after Armageddon”



Bear in mind Billions of people have just been wiped out, so the streets will be full of Bodies. Their answers to this, and what to do with the bodies:



“Just get a huge as helicopter with a huge as bucket of lime and throw it over them. Job done. LUNCH TIME”



I think also of a recent conversation on here between Hannah, Tim & Trugoy. Who were arranging to meet up after Armageddon for Tea, Coffee & freshly squeezed fruit juice.



Brian is correct when he states; “Hmm... you forget that is the same exact message that Trinitarians preach”



But I think the major difference is we certainly don’t look forwards to it with a feeling of justification as to what we believe, so we can say I told you so. Which the watchtower publications seem to portray. But rather with sadness.

Answer 6

All i can say is that I know first hand from my own experiences that the JWs are a false religion! I spent 20 years on/off with them! Ive been OUT of them for approx 8 years now. Ive spent quite a fair number of years finding and discovering who the true Creator is and Armegeddon really is in the Biblical scriptures!! We really are living in "end times!" However, Jehovah is not the true name of our creator! Its Yahweh! Jesus is really Yeshua = and the JWs have got a lot of scriptual things wrong! They are false prophets which is why I got out of that cult a long time ago! However, we are in end times so pray to Yahweh and Yeshua and ask for forgiveness and please accept Yeshua Ha Messiach into your life if you want to live in the new system ! First will come the great tribulation followed by the "Wrath of God" All Bible s state this!

Answer 7

Christians, what do you think about the Jehovah's Witness message of carnage and destruction at Armageddon?



Hmm... you forget that is the same exact message that Trinitarians preach. You preach that if you are not a "born again Trinitarian" then you will suffer through the carnage and destruction of Armageddon and then find yourself suffering (or being tortured as some of your brothers and sisters say) in hell for eternity.



Do you read the questions that are posted to Jehovah's Witnesses and then the answers from your brothers and sisters. Do you read the way people react towards Jehovah's Witnesses by calling us satanists who are destined to to hell?



Look at your brother Bobby Jim's answer:



"the Bible describes the JW doctrine that refuses to recognize Jesus' Deity as the spirit of antichrist." - How is this different?



How about your brother Keith? "There will be much carnage during the 'tribulation' period described in the real Bible (NKJV)." How is this different? He believes that only Trinitarians will not be a victim of this "carnage".



I could go back find find hundreds/thousands of comments from your brethren hurling Jehovah's Witnesses to an eternity of torture/torment because we do not believe the Bible teaches that Jesus is God.



Is it just because Ly'na is one of Jehovah's Witness that you have issues with this message from the Bible?

Answer 8

There is one particular JW here who is into it, she qualifies as a religious sadist and likely is dangerous.



The images that the Jehovah's Witnesses promote via their watchtower organization speak volumes.



ex JW





Orthodox Christian

Answer 9

It say we are not to judge but it also says you must speak to warn the wicked man or they will die in sin and good will demand their blood from your hands

Answer 10

They are getting pushy. Just like they were when Yahoo first opened.

Answer 11

Oddly enough, the Bible describes the JW doctrine that refuses to recognize Jesus' Deity as the spirit of antichrist. What scripture tells me is that JW's are promoting and teaching anti-Christian doctrines, and will suffer eternally for denying Christ. THIS is the unforgivable sin, rejecting Jesus for who He says He is.

Answer 12

I think it's a false gospel and false prophets trying to pass themselves off as Christians.

I simply ignore them.

Answer 13

I don't think about it at all. The JWs aren't real Christians, and their message is nothing to do with those who are trying to live Christ's way in the world. I'm too busy getting on with it to worry about lies.

Answer 14

Whatever interpretation the JWs or even christians have on the end -times recorded in the book of Revelation -- the JWs cannot deny this indisputable fact.



(Rev 21:1) And I (John) saw a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH: for the first heaven and the first EARTH were PASSED AWAY; and there was no more sea.



v:2 And I John saw the HOLY CITY, new JERUSALEM, coming down from God out of heaven.



Everything on this current earth is going to pass away forever.



Now every JW has to be honest about this -- are they going to inherit everlasting life in the holy city new Jerusalem ?



According to (Rev 21:12-14) ONLY the children of Israel of the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles of the lamb will inherit it ! These are promises finally fulfilled to the Fathers of Israel - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Israelites (Rom 15:8, Jer 23:5-6, Luke 1:32-33) etc, this EARTHLY KINGDOM was only promised to them -- NOT us Gentiles !



Even the Gentile nations saved during the tribulation will only WALK in the light of this new city (Rev 21:24-26, Isa 60:11 & Dan 7:14)



The JWs have the WRONG hope ! The ONE hope (Eph 4:4) for the church the body of Christ in this church age (Eph 3:2) is a HEAVENLY HOPE in the heavenlies with Christ (Eph 1:3,6 & Col 1:5) NOT on the new earth and the holy city new Jerusalem.

Answer 15

I've not heard that message, where did you hear it?

Answer 16

Why would a Jw-cult fight tooth n nail to get their unbiblical destruction/armageddon thing happen, promoting death and fear. No wonder russia banned the cult.

The True God is merciful and compassionate...

Answer 17

The JW's are a CULT, do not listen to them. They modified the bible and made their own version NWT.

Charles Taze Russell who founded the Jehovah's Witnesses. He prophesied the world would end in 1914.

There will be much carnage during the 'tribulation' period described in the real Bible (NKJV). Here is a preview.....



The US, indeed, the entire world, is about to enter into its darkest period of human history ever and most people don’t even realize it. The coming time is darker than most are aware and they will get even darker when the 'Tribulation' period described in the bible starts.



Obadiah 1:15 “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.



That time is a seven year 'Tribulation' period when the Anti-Christ rules the one-world government.

It starts with the Rapture (when Jesus takes His believers to heaven) and ends at the Second coming of Jesus Christ seven years later. Most of the wicked and many unbelievers will be judged during this time. However, many others will be saved and go to heaven, except now they will have to forfeit their life to be saved. The Bible says that the seven year tribulation period is so bad that men will faint in horror at the things coming upon the earth. World leaders will be confused and it won’t be until shortly after the seals are broken that the people on earth realize that the wrath of God has been poured out as promised by the Bible. The men on earth will try to escape but there will be no refuge. It will be so bad that men will seek that the stones fall on them in order to hide them from the one who sits on the throne in Heaven. This is a dramatic account of the tribulation period. The purpose of the tribulation period is to punish unrepentant sinners and to call Israel to redemption through Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, it will take over two-thirds of the world’s population to perish before the tribulation period will end. Yet when the tribulation period ends it will result in the redemption and regeneration of the Jewish people.

Answer 18

Sorry, I don't have time for this sh*t. I'm too busy carrying out Jesus's command that we smash the capitalist stystem.
