Jehovah's Witnesses, 1000 yr Reign by Christ.?

Question

How many wish it started now because of past vices that keep tempting you? For me skinny women and firearms. I was in the Army back in 2003 and cheated on my wife with a skinny woman and now my past won't leave me alone. I have to say that field service brings me peace and joy. I wish I can quit my job and become a pioneer.

Answer 1

according to the early fathers of the Church and still by the Holy Orthodox Church, the 1,000 yr reign began the day of pentecost. The Holy church lasted as 1 until 1,000 yrs later when the Roman Catholic Church changed the doctrine handed to us by the Apostles. It says the satan shall be loosed a little while, this is when he was released. This is why you have such chaos in the churches today, why there are 35,000 different denominations calling themselves christian, yet none of them agree on anything. This is not what Christ established on Earth.

We shall be as one mind, one heart, in the name of Christ, not 35,000.

it also states that the gates of shall not prevail against the church Christ Established on earth. The Holy Orthodox church has suffered by the hands of the pagans, the Roman catholics, muslims, and the communists. Whole countries were not allowed to even carry a bible for over 60 yrs. This should have wiped out any traces of Orthodoxy, but as soon as the wall came down, it flourished back as it once was.

We also look at the 1,000 yrs as eternity, a figure of speech. Christ is with us all in our hearts, he has been since his life began basically.

Let us give Glory to God

It will be terrific.  I am mixed in feelings though.  How grateful we are that it is Jehovah deciding the perfect time for this to begin.  Not any human.

Each year, around 200.000- 500,000 come out of the world's false religion and join us in serving Jehovah, the Most High God.  Think what would have happened if men had their way and began sooner?  How many would have paid with their lives?

Look at other answers here.  How many of them will come out of their ignorance at some future date?  None of us know.  Not even themselves.  We hope for their best.

Answer 3

Vot doesn't wish for it to start now coz of a bad past.... Vot wants it to start now coz of a scary future..... I wish I had started pioneering already..... coz if things continue the way they going, Vot might not get the opportunity......

Well, that is a selfish reason, and even bedridden brothers and sisters have managed to have a fair share in the ministry, so I guess Vot will just give Jehovah her 100%, no matter how small that may be...

It's kinda like running to catch a bus. The driver waits for you, and once you jump on, you're willing to get going. But there's others running for the bus also. If the bus goes like you want, they will remain behind. So you have to balance your desire to go, with a loving patience for the others too.

In the meantime, close your eyes when you see them skinny women- they bad for you! lol

Answer 5

If you quit your job and became a pioneer, you would still be tempted by skinny women.  You have to come to grips with your weaknesses.  You need to have a personal relationship with Jehovah and the Lord Jesus, accompanied by sincere prayer for holy spirit.  Yield to the spirit and develop the fruitage of the spirit, including *self-control*.

Becoming a mature Christian is seldom an immediate act, it takes time and application of the Christian principles you are learning.  Even the apostle Paul said that the had to 'pummel his body and lead it as a slave, so that after preaching to others, he himself would not become disapproved.'  We can't just give in to our wrongful fleshly desires, we have to "deaden" them.

It is wonderful that you find peace and joy in the ministry.  Do not neglect your personal Bible reading, your meditation on what you read, earnest prayer, and application of what you learn.

Share your concerns with your elders and other mature Christians.  They may have had experiences that can help you.
