Question for Jehovah's Witnesses- Matthew 28:19,20?

Is this scripture the reason why your organization is preaching all over the world?

Jesus Christ did say that " This good news of the Kingdom will be preached to the entire inhabited earth" before the end come

Matthew 24:14

I noticed that your principal magazine ,The Watchtower is the most widely distributed journal in the whole world (googled it), and it's official statement is "Announcing Jehovah's KINGDOM"

I don't believe anyone else besides you people is preaching on this scale specifically about the Kingdom.

Against all odds, you seemed to have fulfilled a 2000 year old prophesy

    GOODNEWSTEACHER, I am so embarrassed for you right now.

    You are not on stage at an assembly where you get to play the bewildered worldly person who awakens to the bright light that is WATCHTOWER.

    Presenting yourself as a non-JW who is making observations about "your organization", "your principal magazine", "you people... preaching", and "your prophesy fulfillment" just makes you look like a fool.

    My favorite is when you regurgitated Watchtower distribution gloating rights as if you looked it up on the web (googled it) rather than heard it repeatedly from the WT corporation itself.

    This is about the depth of honesty we have come to expect from the JW cult. They're just like every other whore house on the block.

    CALL ME GARY said, "... and the end did not come.... hmm... it must have been a false message."

    Since when was the Christian message supposed to be a doomsday message? The message of the WT cult has nothing to do with the message of the first century Christians.

    Paul said, at 1 Corinthians 2:1-5:

    And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except {{{ Jesus Christ and him crucified. }}} I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.

    CALL ME GARY, please don't drink before getting on Y!A.

    Oye Vey,

    May I ask how you picked the name "good news teacher"? It seems pretty obvious that you are one of Jehovahs Witnesses. Being disingenuous about it is not a good thing. Better to be authentic with yourself don't you think, rather than prentending to be something you are not? I am surprised any other JW's have not called you out for this.

    Would you like to define inhabited earth? JW's currently have very little reach in the largest population centers of the world. India, China, and the Middle east are good examples.

    But that does not matter. Jehovahs time table has nothing to do with us would you not agree? Only he really knows when that day is, and why its there. So why be concerend with JW's being the fullfillment of a prophecy? In fact, i would say that is a very heady statement.

    Why not have some humility. Jehovahs day promises to come as a thief in the night. Therin lies the proper state of mental rediness for the christian.

    Other religions too teach about Gods Kingdom, they just disagree with you on what that means. There are also Christians all over the world as well. Gary has made the mistake of thinking that if everyone on earth had gotten a JW witness somehow, Jehovah would HAVE to bring the end. That is simply not true. Thank goodness he is "patient" with us and desires all to attain repentance. Right? Shouldn't you feel the same way?

    JWS use something called 'HEBREW J VERSIONS' to say CHRIST is not part of Lord Jehovah. That, in fact he is a created angel.

    @@Call me Gary loves to put true Christians down for believing in the Trinity doctrine. Now, I don't believe in the FULL trinity doctrine, but I do believe Christ is part of Lord Jehovah, so therefore Christ is God also. So GARY before you shoot your mouth off, please explain 1PETER 3:15. Here is a snapshot of the JW.ORG APP showing the Hebrew j version, but the org. decided not to use the name Jehovah... WHY?

    Here is how it reads in the NWT

    But sanctify the Christ as Lord in YOUR hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of YOU a reason for the hope in YOU, but doing so together with a mild temperm and deep respect.

    BUT if the hebrew j versions are trustworthy , it should read, CHRIST AS GOD OR CHRIST AS JEHOVAH.

    So what are yall preaching? Looks to me as a different Christ.

    Christianity was spread to distant parts of the earth well before the relatively new JW religion came on the scene.

    What JWs are busy preaching is the Watchtower's interpretations, a different good news, not one about Jesus., but one about a kingdom that was established ...invisibly....in the fabricated year 1914

    @ Gary. ..

    JWs have predicted the end several times. ...1914, 1925, 1940s, 1975.before the end of the 20th Century........

    they preach a false message and are false prophets.

    Hi. Yes you are right. Isn't it exciting ! And the awake is the second most published magazine on the planet. The good news of the kingdom is certainly being preached throughout the entire Earth, even in banned countries that chi girl talks about. We are privileged to belong to such an amazing organisation. All the best. Jay

    Mimi says "Christianity was spread to distant parts of the earth well before the relatively new JW religion came on the scene.'

    ... and the end did not come.... hmm... it must have been a false message.

    edit:

    Mimi - eh, you and I both know what a prophesy is. Stop with your false accusations about these dates being a new prophesy from God. You know they are interpretations of Bible prophesy. I do not know what you gain by these false accusations except mudslinging.

    The Trinitarian message has been preached all over the world through violence, greed and trickery. The end did not come like Jesus said it would.... hence, the Trinitarian message is a false one.

    Jason said "Since when was the Christian message supposed to be a doomsday message? The message of the WT cult has nothing to do with the message of the first century Christians."

    Word, nothing but words Jason. Put some meaning behind it. Fact. The end would have came if your message was truth. It didn't. Preachers are making fat $$ off those who do not read the Bible. Did you know one of the most known preachers built a $100,000 dog house? What message is that for her followers?

    Thank you so much - it is very refreshing to have a non JW actually compliment rather than condemn :)

    Of course, thats another prophesy - that Jesus' true followers would be hated as he was hated.

    If you want to read any more of our publications, you can go to jw.org and read them online.

    We're getting there.....

    .....interesting choice of wording "Chi girl" for it is you and your kind that have a direct hand in that 'banning" of the work......your lack of faith in your own god compels you to hate those that DO have a faith in theirs!

    If anything...always let the fool speak.....they will most certainly reveal themselves as such....
