re: reduced to ash by God!?!?
Not so, as God is love and seeks not to destroy us (that's Satan's objective -the evil one/influence) but to save us with the hope of granting us everlasting life here on a paradise earth (truly wonderful, good news!) for those of us trying to do God's will/obey his commandments etc. Repent of your sin's and turn to doing good instead (in accepting Jesus Christ by his ransom sacrifice as our loving saviour (Kingdom redeemer etc.)).
For those who don't measure up and pass the test, the news is far from good (according to Watchtower doctrine). For those who don't measure up the result is the Lake of Fire or eternal destruction:
The above misses an important Watchtower doctrinal requirement (highlight in mine).
Requirement Three: Watchtower Membership
The Society states, "A third requirement is that we be associated with God's channel, his organization" i.e., the Watchtower Society (Watchtower, February 15, 1983, p. 12; emphasis theirs). In fact, it is "essential" that people become Jehovah's Witnesses in order to be saved (Our Kingdom Ministry,November, 1990, p. 1). The Watchtower teaches that people must belong to the Society because, "By means of his organization, including the elders, [God] provides us with direction and protection" (Watchtower, January 15, 1995, p. 28).
The direction provided by the Society is more than simply biblical preaching and teaching; it is for Jehovah's Witnesses the source of all knowledge pertaining to salvation. The Society proclaims, "Unless we are in touch with this channel of communication God is using, we will not progress along the road of life, no matter how much Bible reading we do" (Watchtower, December 1, 1981, p. 27). Membership in the Watchtower Society is so vital for Jehovah's Witnesses that they believe non-members will receive no guidance from God (Watchtower, July 1, 1965, p. 391).

Why do you guys try to sugar-coat your so called "good news".
You can't sugar-coat eternal destruction - well, not easily.
