: Jehovah's witnessess are the only ones who believe that you die when you die.....hmmmm what a simple concept, only the witnessess believe that.
Wrong, it is not a simple concept. It is a fact of logic that if nothing exists, nothing can be "resurrected." There is nothing to resurrect. It can only be reproduced or re-created. Therefore, any "loved ones" who return in such a pseudo-resurrection are not the real "loved ones" but are copies, Xeroxes of the persons who lived and died years before.
It is also a fact that JWs are hardly alone in promoting soul-sleep as a biblical teaching. Christadelphians, Seventh-Day Adventists, WWCOG Faith of Abraham, Associated Bible Students, and some other Adventist groups believe that the soul is the person.
: Jehovah's Witnesess are the only ones who on a grand scale acknowledge that Jehovah is the true God of the bible....even you apotates recognize this after leaving. You only learned it there.
Every Christian group and ex-Christians for that matter recognizes Jehovah or Yahweh as the true God of the Bible. Just which god did you think they accept after all? Marduk? Ba'al?
: Jehovah's Witnessess are the only ones carring out the preaching work that followed what Jesus laid out. This is unmatched through out all of the WORLD.
Wrong. Jehovah's Witnesses do not preach what Jesus preached. That should be self-evident. The singular message JWs preach is that the world entered its "last days" in 1914AD and the great tribulation has been imminent since then. Jesus did not preach that.
: Jehovah's Witnessess are the only ones who truly believe in the resurrection,
I'll grant you that JWs understand, or attempt to understand, biblical resurrection perhaps better than most.
: and believe and understand that the bible goes from Paradise lost to paradise gained. Nobody else thinks the beautiful earth is good enough to inherit!
Wrong. Many of the Adventist groups above believe this. Plenty of evangelicals do, too, as I've discovered.
Now, will you simply switch the subject and not acknowledge any of this, or forget that any of this exists?
