Like that organizations track record of Lies peddled as divine truth is anything to be trusted, much less believed? :

1889: “The ‘battle of the great day of God almighty’ (Rev. 16:14) which will end in AD 1914 . . . ” (Studies, Vol. 2, 1908 edition, 101).
1891: “With the end of AD 1914, what God calls Babylon, and what men call Christendom, will have passed away, as already shown from prophecy” (Studies, Vol. 3, 153).
1894: “The end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble” (WT Reprints, 1-1-1894, 1605 and 1677).
1916: “The six great 1000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great 7th day, the 1000 years of Christ’s reign began in 1873” (Studies, Vol. 2, p. 2 of foreword).
1918: “Therefore, we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the faithful prophets of old” (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, 89).
1923: “1925 is definitely settled by the scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge” (WT, 4-1-1923, 106).
1925: “The year of 1925 is here. . . . Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year” (WT, 1-1-1925, 3).
1939: “The disaster of Armageddon is just ahead” (Salvation, 361).
1941: “Armageddon is surely near . . . soon . . . within a few years” (Children, 10).
1946: “Armageddon . . . should come sometime before 1972” (They Have Found a Faith, 44).
1968: “The end of the six thousand years of man’s history in the fall of 1975 is not tentative, but is accepted as a certain date” (WT, 1-1-1968, 271).


Praying for you, man, to free yourself, from this harlot of lies, that has you in it's grip!

Notice what the Bible tells us at (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) . . .Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.

Yes, Jehovah comforts us by explaining what death is, and He gives us hope that death is not permanent and that one day His last enemy death will be permanently destroyed.
How are you comforted by Your Unbelieving loved ones being annihilated ?... Genuine question, same question for those who believe in eternal torment.

Where people who died and have God spirit and did repent in faith to Jesus will drink from the river of life and will eat the leaves of trees in heaven and be nourished ......
How do you sleep at night then if many people you knew died and are in eternal torment?

He wept - because of their lack of understanding. And the comfort comes from the love of others, not the Bible.

This is a lose, lose, lose situation for The Author & Perfector of all !

Annihilation = lose the vast segments of sinners.

E.T. = lose the same mass of sinners + add unending torment.

If you want to sway me, you will have to do it by scripture, identify the faith. Most people do not even know who God is. Identify the faith scripturally, and you will definitely get my attention.

Glad you spelled that P, I would never have gotten it. I believe God has no choice, but take heart, He is not going to do this until man is virtually extinct Mat 24:22. If you are still alive at this time, you will likely be praying for Him to remove the wicked. I am real sure you have already prayed for that at some point in your life already. Have you ever said the Lord's prayer? Very likely you have. Just what do you think you petitioned God for?

It's a good thing that he will never leave or forsake anyone, as his love does not isolate itself.
