I agree sir, His leaving us will never happen, unless by our actions, or asking we ask Him to.

Jehovah is a God of the living, and he's the God of resurrecting the dead. he resurrected Jesus when he died ,(1Thess. 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him). it was Jehovah God who gave man the gift of living again once they had died. this is why he sent his Son to die for us, so that we might live ,(John 3:17). see also ,(Rom. 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord). Jehovah is certainly about life! this is why he sent his son, so that you!... might live!...you're welcome!

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 ......
who can say that one is "lost to God?" MANY are not, that is why there's a hope of a resurrection. Jesus said this ,(John 5:28,29). those who "turned their backs on Jesus", also turned their backs on Jehovah God, (John 15:23 He who hates Me hates My Father also), (though not acknowledging him), which we should if we want life ,(John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent).

as for their "Spirits", the ONLY Spirits there are, are those in Heaven, and demons. there's NO Souls, Ghost or "Spirits", of the dead, that exists in other realms. for them to "live on with a completely dry mouth for eternity". brings many to believe that the dead are conscious of what's going on, that NOT scripturally true.

this is what Jehovah God words shows concerning the dead, (Eccles. 9:5,6 For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun). if the "Spirit", of those who didn't make it to Heaven still lives on. and yet they can still feel, then that makes Jehovah words a lie. also what would be the point of an resurrections, since MANY believe that people don't really die?

also the "river of life" and "tree" , are NOT to be taken literally. since those in Heaven are Spirit Beings, and not flesh. trees and water were made for humans, in order to survive. they don't need that in Heaven, because they would never die. it's speaks in symbolic terms, there's NO fleshly being in Heaven ,(1Cor. 15:50 I tell you this, my brothers: an earthly body made of flesh and blood cannot get into God’s Kingdom. These perishable bodies of ours are not the right kind to live forever). peace

Nothing you do or say will separate you from the love of God.

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).

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!

Scripture will do you no good as long as you put organizations teachings AHEAD of Gods Teachings, organizations authority ABOVE Gods Authority, hate of neighbor institutionalized by organization rather than Love your Enemy commanded by Christ:

I can't find 'hate of neighbor' at www.jw.org _________________
The international declaring about God's kingdom (Daniel 2:44) is Not hate but service done out of love.- Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8.

Wrong calculations or wrong guesses does Not make the Bible as wrong just the calculations.
Jesus said to keep on the watch - Mark 13:32-37 - be Alert !
The light (scriptural light) grows brighter and brighter with the passing of time -> Daniel 12:9,4; Proverbs 4:18

The passing of time shows that we are now at the ' final phase ' of Matthew 24:14.
So, this means we are nearing the ' final signal ' of 1st Thess. 5:2-3 when the powers that be will be saying, " Peace and Security..." as the precursor to the coming great tribulation of Rev. 7:14,9.

Bitterness over dates does Not change the fact that we are nearing the soon coming ' time of separation ' on Earth as per Matthew 25:31-33,37,40.

Strange that Jesus would say this sir: (Matthew 12:31, 32) . . .I say to you, every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. 32 For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come.

Sounds like to me, you may have erred Wade.
