maybe you could come out with me one time and see what it feels like..its pretty exciting..its like you're saving the world one person at a time..most people arent interested because they have their own religion or they're "busy", which i can respect..but what people mostly fail to realize is that we are not out to convert them (its awsome if they do decide to come to our meetings) but really we want to just encourage them to read their bible. But when you get that one person who is like i have been praying and waiting for someone to come and find me (which we get surprisingly often) you feel so amazing...there are no words

There is no problem with going from door to door to door telling people what they believe in. However, They believe that is what earns their salvation, which is not what the Protestant Bible teaches.

Other prominent characteristics that differ from Chistendom are that they believe that:
-God is a single being, not a Trinity.
-He is not all-knowing or present everywhere.
-They will live forever on Paradise Earth, (which you mentioned) and Heaven is a special place that is reserved for a distinct group of 144,000 Jehovah's Witnesses, who have been deemed "born again" by the WBTS and are allowed to take annual communion.

You should talk with Candis more about this too.

About missions trips... Germany would probably be pretty awesome to go to for the missions trip, but working around here or in Toronto would be pretty amazing too. I was lucky enough to go on a missions trip to Trinidad, and then 2 years later one to Montreal, and while they were really different (especially the sub-zero teperatures of montreal in the winter compared to blistering hotness of trini) Both experiences were spectacular. no matter where you go, whether it's in Canada or Germany or anywhere else, it's not really where you are, but what you're doing that makes it what it is. So if you don't end up going to Germany, don't feel that bummed out. You never know... Toronto might be even more spectacular in some ways. :)
