Dear Alex,
Thanks for responding to me in a personal way (no wt reprints). In thinking about your question I was reminded of who I am. Alex, I do the same kind of messaging that I do with you with Mormons, SDA, and Muslims. As each of them makes their case against Jehovah/Jesus I must remember who I am. I am not the defense attorney, I am not the prosecutor, I am not the judge, and I am not the jury. I am simply a witness. As a witness I can tell you and the whole world what Jehovah/Jesus has done for me.
1. He was pierced for me. He paid the price with His own blood to purchase me from the slave market of sin and then He set me free. How could I not tell others what He did for me.
2. He delivered me from eternal death and punishment and has given me everlasting life. I have it now. I don't have to work for it. It was a gift of His love, mercy and grace.
3. He gave me His abiding presence forever. He gave me His Comforter, the Holy Spirit. He will abide with me forever. He leads, guides, strengthen, protects, comforts, and yes, He convicts me of sin in my life.
4. He has given me peace with God and man. I don't get mean spirited with people who resist God's purpose for them in this world.
5. He has given me victory over death (death meaning separation not annihilation), for I know to be absent from my body is to be present with my Lord.
 

Alex, I could testify all day long about what Jehovah/Jesus my LORD has done for me, but now let me ask you (without wt reprints) what the WT organization has done for you?
I had about two years ago two JWs in my living room. I asked them these simple questions to see what the WT had given them. In all of their answers there was only fear and uncertainty.
 

1, I asked them if the have everlasting life now. They said NO!
2. I asked them if the were resurrected at Armageddon would they have everlasting life then, they said NO.
3. I asked them if they knew for sure at the end of Armageddon would they have everlasting life, they said they could not tell me, for they didn't know.
The WT promises all its followers one thing that is sure--they will go to HELL (HADES) when they die.
The WT doctrine gives its followers on assurances based on the goodness and grace of God. It only gives them fear and uncertainty.
You asked me what is God's purpose for the world, my answer is that no one would reach the end of his or her life like a JW, Mormon, SDA or Muslim.
 

These are just the words of a witness of Jehovah/Jesus, for it’s not my place to defend God. He will defend Himself. It’s not my place to prosecute, for God will do that. It is not my place to be the judge and jury, for that is not God's purpose for me and here is God's purpose/will for the world:
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, (God is) not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
 

In Jehovah's love and grace,
Dave
 

P. S. Here are the scriptures that testify to what Jehovah/Jesus has done for me and wants to do for you.
 

1. Zech 12:10 And I (Jehovah) will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me (Jehovah) whom they have pierced. John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
2. Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
3. Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 1Cor 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
4. Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
5. 2Cor 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved (our present body), we have a building (a body) of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
