Subject: RE: BS: Religious Canvassers
Some funny stuff here, found it by accident.
1. Mormons don't drink tea, coffee or cola , at least the 2 lads I invited in from a blinding snowstorm didn't. I asked them about neutrality in war cos they don't conscienciously object. How they could kill other people who just might be mormon, they said that God would make the bullet.....miss!
2. Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in the common consensus of " hell " i.e. firey lake of torment. They say that hell is translated from new testament ( Greek scriptures )word of Hades, whilst old testament Hebrew word is " sheol ", both being the " common grave of mankind ". That God's eternal damnation is simply eternal death, nothingnes, which from a living standpoint is an unbearable thought.
3. They believe that armageddon will be God's judgement exactly as in Noah's day and survivors will live forever on earth, governed by Christ as king, and 144,000 co-rulers ' bought from the earth ' by dying faithfully, once sinners but cleansed by their actions in faith of the value of his sacrificial blood.
4. All those who died throughout history without knowledge of God's requirements will be resurrected to judgement i.e. their actions after being given a thorough education by the new heavenly kingdom government for a 1,000 years, in perfect peace and eternal life.
5. They don't ask for or expect any money from people for their literature. All of the cost of printing etc. is from their voluntary contributions, not perfunctory percentages of wages as with mormons.

Yes I've read many of their books and find them not so extremist as zealous, sincerely interested in us lot. They refer to a bit in the bible that says...." This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the earth as a witness to all the nations, then the end will come." They're not that complicated really, and they do not come back if you tell them not to, unless they didn't pass it on to their buddies. Hope you guys found this helpful.
