When are you going to realise, that Christianity or the bible is NOT about JW, there are and have been Christian LONG before Russell came along and started teaching doom and gloom..... but there is no telling you is there.

ppm, 2,000 years back Jesus opened the way for some to go with him to heaven. For what reason? Jesus explained:
(Luke 22:28-30) “However, you are the ones who have stuck with me in my trials; 29 and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the 12 tribes of Israel.
These few that Jesus "made a covenant with" were to rule over the rest of mankind that will live here on earth.
Jesus used an illustration to explain how things would develop. - Matt 13:24-30. He said:
(Matthew 13:38) the field is the world. As for the fine seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom, but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one,
Christendom has produced a bumper crop of "sons of the wicked one", all claiming they are going to heaven. How can they be identified?
(1 John 3:10-12) The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Whoever does not practice righteousness does not originate with God, nor does the one who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; 12 not like Cain, who originated with the wicked one and slaughtered his brother. And for what reason did he slaughter him? Because his own works were wicked, but those of his brother were righteous.
WW2 saw Catholic slaughter Catholic and Protestant slaughter Protestant. They commemorate this rather than hang their heads in shame. The genuine seed are drawn from those that "love one another".
