Because they do not understand what they read, The Word, is also Jesus. It never says in the scripture you need to have knowledge of who Jesus is. But it does say in the scripture, you must receive Jesus in your heart.
When a person reads the Word, and receives it into their heart, they receive Jesus whether they know it or not.

The point of this thread is to discuss what Jehovah has planned for us all in the future if that is what we want. It is clear by many in the earth that they do not want this but there are many that do.

Sounds just like what satan thrives on.
Do you not understand these passages? Seek the kingdom of God in your heart, and all things will be given to you. God knows what each of us need. Be prepared in your heart for His return.

How are you positive? Is it by telling everyone that only JWs make up the 144000 and the rest of the world will all be killed in Armagedeon while JWs will be saved?
It is enough to know that Christ promised eternal life to those who follow him. Your view of that is twisted by Watchtower garbage.
Where does this verse fit into your doctrine:

Maybe there are others who are interested so you keep prattling.
It is written. Be willing to accept those who still have doubts---
And again: Those who know they can eat any kind of food must not feel they are better than those who eat only vegetables.
Finally, it is written: God has accepted them.

Is there some part of the Bible that says to be interested in the future of the planet?
The light and goodness of the future is not on this earth.
Everyone killed except JWs ? Now thats light and goodness 😀
What blessings will God’s Kingdom bring for mankind? The things that the Kingdom will soon accomplish include:
(1) Wars, crime, and violence will be eliminated forever.—Psalm 46:8, 9; Isaiah 2:4.
(2) Equality and impartiality will exist for all; there will be no more racial, social, or other forms of discrimination.—Acts 10:35; Revelation 7:9, 10.
(3) There will be abundant food, adequate housing, and enjoyable work for everyone.—Psalm 72:16; Isaiah 25:6; 65:21, 22.
(4) Sickness, disability, old age, and death will be no more.—Isaiah 25:8; 35:5, 6; Revelation 21:4.
(5) The dead will be raised.—John 5:28, 29; Revelation 20:12.
(6) The earth will become a global paradise.—Luke 23:43; Psalm 98:7-9.
“This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ,” said Jesus. (John 17:3)

Matthew 28:19, 20
19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
Who was Jesus speaking too? If you don't think this work is not important, then who will do this work?

Originally posted by galveston75Never said the work wasn't important. But litteraly everyone on the planet knows of Jesus, thanks to TV, radio and the millions of preachers (missionaries) over the past 100 years.

Originally posted by PudgenikI completely understand who the anti christ is.
do you understand the term "anti-Christ". He will do nearly everything Christ did, including raising of the dead. (it will be an illusion). But he will preach a message that mankind is the god, collectively.
"Antichrist."
"The Greek term has a twofold meaning. It refers to that which is anti, or opposed to, Christ. It may also refer to a false Christ, one in the place of Christ. All people, organizations, or groups that falsely claim to represent Christ or claim to be the Messiah or that oppose Christ and his disciples can properly be called antichrists.—1Jo 2:22."
So your version of the anti christ and this illusion of resurrecting humans, and doing the preaching that Jesus DID tell us to do, are doing these things now or just in the future?
Just curious if anyone here agrees with your theory on this?
