Christ's enthronement in Heaven would result in, not immediate peace for the earth, rather, "woe" for the earth, because Satan had been cast down to the earth, cleansing the Heavens of his influence, the following video depicts the conditions Christ foretold on the earth when he took his position as King in Heaven, and the things that will be done away with when Satan's rule is destroyed |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60347842 You don't read the Bible do you? You have made that comment several times and it goes way beyond a number that anyone can count Christ died for ALL humans, it is up to individuals now to respond and show appreciation Revelation mentions "a great crowd which no man was able to number" who will have gained salvation |

Residing in Heaven with Jesus. Ruling over all the Earth. A Perfect existence where superior people can enjoy the fruits of their superiority. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60347842 While on the Earth, there is work to be done. Kind of like that Star Trek episode "The Cloud Minders" The whole point of them ruling over the earth, is YES, there is work to be done here, and the 144,000 and Christ as King will work hard to bring the earth and it's inhabitants back to the perfect harmony that was God's original purpose |

Well, sincerely, if someone wanted to "sell me on their beliefs", as you say, then I would expect them to knock on my door, as it takes imitative and action and courage to do such If I didn't feel I had something of truth to share, I would not bother Would Christ have sent his disciples out to preach, had they not had substance to the message? Ive had many conversations over the years, and yes, have found out what and where and why they believe the way they do But Christ commission was that people needed to hear the solution that HE and Jehovah provide, and as such, that is what I do |

Quoting: CelestialMaiden I didn't say anything about your studies. I said JW's approach people with the intention of selling them on their Jehova's Witness beliefs - which is very structured/organized. They are not there to listen to different beliefs/ideologies and to contemplate them with an open mind. They don't ring doorbells and say, "Hey can you tell us all about your personal beliefs, we'd like to listen and consider them".... The nature of the intention of the interaction is a one-way dialogue. You're selling something and not interesting in buying into what anyone else is selling... Please tell me here where I've mischaracterized what takes place? |

Or do you already feel content with your preexisting belief system / ideology that you adopted under your own volition? When you understand the psychology of your own thought-process when others are trying to sell you on their ideology - you will accept that the vast majority of people have no interest in individuals knocking on their door advertising beliefs/ideologies. Yes I could come knock on your door and start telling you about my spiritual beliefs. You might even be polite to me - but you and I BOTH know that there's zero chance of you accepting and internalizing anything I've told you unless it conforms to the JW ideology. You have closed your mind off to any 'outside' beliefs - but you expect others to open their mind to yours when you're doing the advertising? Please note I'm not pointing the finger at you for doing anything wrong. I'm just trying to explain to you why people by nature are not receptive to religious recruitment. It's for the same reason that you are not receptive to others giving you the same treatment. When you understand your own inclinations and tendencies - you should be able to extend and apply that understanding onto others... If you yourself are not looking to internalize MY beliefs - why do you hold the expectation that others would be open to internalizing YOURS? |
