Almighty God Jehovah DOES have an earthly organisation. The one obeying ALL His commandments. Any religious group whose members become involved in war or politics is NOT IT. And this includes Eastern religions. A religions track record should be checked. Are the Jews STILL god's chosen people? they are involved in war...so No. To have God's backing, you need to do these things. 1. Matthew 28; 19,20 [ What to do] 2. Acts 20;20 [Where] 3. Exodus 6;3 [ What to use] 4. Hebrews 10;25 [ comply with] Without these, you are only doing Satan's work.

You need a message which a lot of people will find appealing, and you need to convince them all that if they follow some rules they will be rewarded. Every major religion has this. For example, Scientologists believe (somehow) that if they donate lots of money, they can get rid of 'thetans' which are the cause of negative emotions. There are rules (money) and a reward (thetan removal). Same with Christianity: Rules (10 commandments etc), Reward (Heaven). Same with Buddhism: Rules (Be good to nature, fellow man, detachment etc), Reward (Nirvana). So you need some good rules which a lot of people will agree with, and a nice reward that makes it all worthwhile. And yes, I'd be very interested in an experiment such as this.
