Question to any JW

yes I know, i have read his book. His main objection is that the name does not occur
in the original Greek manuscripts, never the less, it does occur in the Hebrew text and
there are many direct quotations from it in the Greek portion of scripture and we have
undertaken a diligent study in order to restore the divine name to its original place ...[text shortened]... name we have references for doing so
in every case except for one. Admit it, we are awesome.

There are many ways for me to describe the JW organisation, awesome wouldn't be one of them.

...you to state why you are asking me questions not
about my beliefs, but what you presume them to be.

So, those JW's who do not end up ruling over the earth with Jesus do [b]not hope to live forever in an earthly paradise? Is that what your belief is? They do hope or they don't hope to live forever in an earthly paradise? Which is your belief?[/b]

whut? FMF either provide a Biblical reference or give it up, useless speculation is to be
avoided entirely, I will say this for the last time, if you have a reference, produce it,
otherwise, i am uninterested in discussing non Biblical questions.

I am asking you whether or not you believe JW's hope to live forever in an earthly paradise? And whether non-JW's can live there forever too. What is is your belief in this matter?

No biblical references AGAIN, sorry, i am sticking strictly to Biblically based questions,
produce your text and we can discuss it, otherwise, visit www.watchtower.org and have
a pleasant day.

Is your belief about what JW's hope, with regard to living forever in an earthly paradise, a secret of some kind?

Does anyone else think this evasion is all a bit odd?

You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth,, Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, 1989, pg 255, "Do not conclude that there are different roads, or ways, that you can follow to gain life in God's new system. There is only one ... there will be only one organization — God's visible organization — that will survive the fast-approaching 'great tribulation.' It is simply not true that all religions lead to the same goal. You must be part of Jehovah's organization, doing God's will, in order to receive his blessing of everlasting life."

ok, seeing that you people could not, would not, cannot and will not produce a
Biblical text, ill do it for you,

(Acts 24:15) . . .and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves
also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the
unrighteous. . .

Who, though, are “the unrighteous” mentioned at Acts 24:15? These would include
the great masses of mankind who have died throughout history, particularly those
who lived in ‘times of ignorance.’ (Acts 17:30) These, because of where they were
born or when they lived, had no opportunity to learn about Jehovah will be
resurrected and given the opportunity to do so.
