Gently my brother. But i like to say that there are good people in all religions. And Jesus is the judge not me nor any JW's and i know not you too. So we don't judge anybody neither do we judge any religion. Only Jesus will judge.
Having said that, we try our best to live in accordance with the righteous standards set out in the Bible.
Besides, we also apply what John 13:35 says which is the "identifying mark of true worshippers." And you'll agree with me that TRUE LOVE eludes the world.
So identifying the true religion is not going to be difficult.

If he's not my brother then who is he to me? My enemy? We show brotherly love to everyone but especially to those related to us in the faith as the Bible put it @ Galatians 6:10.
Or why do you think we keep coming to knock on people's doors?

achorladey:


Maximus69 over to you @ the first bolded

Concerning the second bolded how will you define those related to you in the Faith? Keyword here is RELATED. Note it very well.

You can knock on people's door because someone had made you see them as GOATS that need to be converted to SHEEP before Judgement.

Or someone told you to go and look for "HONESTHEARTED" ones amidst the community at large based on the definition of "honesthearted" given to you by those who gave you the commission to knock on people's door.

Finally the image is from your brothers. Do they look like those JUDGING or not JUDGING? By the term "churchgoers" who do you think the poster is referring to? Do you agree with his comment and share same line of thoughts regarding not judging.

Pay heed to the bolded and remember public relations.

Association with Jehovah's Organization*

Association with Jehovah's organization - the Watchtower Society - is presented as essential for salvation.

"If we stop actively supporting Jehovah's work, then we start following Satan. There is no middle ground." Watchtower 2011 Jul 15 p.18

Since there is no middle ground and JWS don't believe other Christians are doing Jehovah's work, What does this tell you about JWs judging others.

"But Jehovah's servants already belong to the only organization that will survive the end of this wicked system of things." Watchtower 2007 Dec 15 p.14

Since the only organization surviving is the JW ORGANIZATION. What does this tell you about the judgement of all other ORGANIZATION?

"But if we were to draw away from Jehovah's organization, there would be no place else to go for salvation and true joy." Watchtower 1993 Sep 15 p.22

Since drawing away from the organization is as good as no room for SALVATION, what is the Judgement then for those who are not members of the organization at all or refused to join?

"Only Christian witnesses of Jehovah who successfully pass this test will survive and come forth like fire-refined gold for God's use in his precious new order." Watchtower 1985 Mar 1 p.14

The key here is the bolded. What is the judgement for those not Christian witnesses of Jehovah

This Christian witnesses of Jehovah is its more like Christ followers witnesses of Jehovah

A Christian Witness is one who observes all the commandments of Jesus Christ after putting faith in Jesus' Ransom sacrifice (John 3:16; John 17:3) One of such commands is found in Romans 10:10 which says:
"For with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness but with the mouth one make public declaration for salvation."

@ the second bolded.
It means Fellow Believer


When we work from house to house, we call repeatedly on people who were not interested when we previously visited them. Why, then, do we keep calling? We realize that people’s circumstances change and that an individual who seemed indifferent or even opposed on a previous visit may be interested the next time we call. With that in mind, we prepare well and pray for Jehovah’s blessing so that something we say this time will strike a responsive chord.

If, in our house-to-house work, we willingly preach to people who previously showed no interest at all, should we not all the more willingly call back on anyone who shows some interest in the Kingdom message?​—Acts 10:34, 35.

Many of us are in the truth today because a publisher patiently made return visits on us. If you are one of these, you may ask yourself: ‘What initial impression did I make on that publisher? Did I immediately embrace the Kingdom message when I first heard it? Could I have seemed indifferent?’ We should be happy that the publisher who called back judged us worthy of a return visit, ‘mustered up boldness by means of God,’ made the call, and proceeded to teach us the truth. What of those individuals who show some interest at first but later seem to be avoiding us? A positive attitude is vital, as the following experience bears out........

Only Jehovah and Jesus judge people as to whether they're goats or sheep. And that judgment is yet future.Jehovah's witnesses don't judge others.

Finally,using the term church goers doesn't mean one is being judgemental. Now haven't you observed that someone may commit a sin in a particular denomination and changes to another denomination?

Are you a churchgoer?

Why do your organization group see all churchgoers as Christendom?

What does your organization teach about CHRISTENDOM? Do your organization judge Christendom now?

Take note of the bolded as it apply scripturally. Are you an unfaithful slave of Christ. Do you slave for Christ?

sonofElElyon:
God bless you brother..

Maximus69:

That's what a so called pastor who happens to be my former neighbour wanted to use to accuse God's organization!
But as a former soldier i know that during war our commanders often change strategies which we must pass on to other members of the army as last order, and failure to comply with the new order is tantamount to sabotage, note that i say failure to comply not even a refusal which could be termed as Intentional! Any soldier found wanting in this regard may be killed if his/her action was intentional.
When i read in the Bible how Jesus give orders to his disciples and tell them to change strategies there is no doubt he's a true army commander and it's clear that there is an ongoing spiritual war!

So seeing Jehovah's Witnesses swiftly making changes globally in the way they do things is clear proof that a mighty spirit being is working with this imperfect humans (who don't even know the rules of the army) definitely JWs are the only soldiers of Christ if there is anything like that!

Maximus69:


Of course Satan knows how to quote the scriptures because he's a spirit being but when standing face to face with a believer Satan will bow before God's children because we have the holy spirit to help us beat Satan in a spiritual warfare! Matthew 4:1-11 compare to Isaiah 54:17

.

Jesus said the FRUIT will serve as EVIDENCE to confirm we are on the right track {Matthew 7:16-20} I've quoted verses showing the fulfilment of Jesus' promises evident in the midst of JWs, so it's you that needs to show the evidence that your church belongs to Christ (Messiah)

Janosky:


Jesus Christ is Jehovah's servant. Acts 3:13. Isaiah 42:10-12.
Matthew 10:22 Jesus said "All men will hate you because of me"

Jehovah's servants simply CONFESSED what Jesus himself CONFESSED :
Revelations 3:5,12. John 20:17 in heaven and earth, Jesus is the son of his Father and God.

This truth still dey give you sifia pains

This global pandemic readily comes to mind. The holy spirit is actually helping God's people today.

potent5:
You mean the building abi?

Maximus69:


My brother i'm really short of words!

Jehovah's Witnesses said Jesus returned in 1914, critics were spewing gibberish up and down but a real intellectual will notice the rapid progress in this group.
They've made changes in virtually all the things they knew before 1914, they've penetrated all the nations even most racist people yet they're unitedly preaching and teaching the same thing!
There is no other group where LOVE, JOY and PEACE reign like amongst Jehovah's Witnesses.
And about the global pandemic, do you notice the name of this disease? Well it's globally known as "Covid19" because it struck in China 2019 exactly 100 years that Jehovah's Witnesses began the global campaign of preaching and teaching immediately after their release in 1919!
Ever since then there has never been anything that made this organization announce globally that their members should stop going from house to house not until 2019!
So this Organization kick off the campaign since 1919, they stopped not by force in 2019 due to Covid19. My brother, this is a sure warning that something is about to happen globally, i'm just glad that all these is happening in my own generation, surely there's much to relate after armageddon to those who will be resurrected!

ospido:


Rightly said brother.
We will keep on the watch until Jesus finally comes to executive judgment against this wicked system of things.
Keep the good work up as we continue to support Christ brothers in this never to be repeated disciple making work.
Am also happy am witnessing all of this too. The Gorverning Body is not relenting too in it's oversight function.
We see this play out during this "Always Rejoice Regional Convention." This weekend is yet another moment to listen to the talks.

Maximus69:


I don't understand what you mean!

potent5:
Because you reason with flesh and blood.

ospido:



Am doing my best to be faithful. None of us can judge. Only God will judge me to be faithful or unfaithful. 1Cor. 10:12 says:

 "So let the one who thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall."
And Zephaniah 2:2,3 says:
"
 2 "Before the decree takes effect, Before the day passes by like chaff, Before the burning anger of Jehovah comes upon you, Before the day of Jehovah’s anger comes upon you,"
 3 "Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, Who observe his righteous decrees. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah’s anger."
So if after seeking Jehovah, righteousness and meekness and yet there's probability in survival,it goes to show that it is not by our power but God's grace.

But in connection with the Faithful Slave (Servant) which i used earlier,it is only Jesus who chooses this group of people to serve in that capacity. See them at Matthew 24:45-47. Their work is to feed Jesus' sheep in this time of the end until he returns.

Sure i am a slave of Jesus Christ.

I challenge you to name one scribe who copied the Bible from its original manuscript to the ones discovered today

Thank you very kindly for all your questions raised so far.

My fellow believer is one who, like me observes the sayings of Jesus Christ as enshrined in the Holy Bible.
There are two types of religion:
1. True Religion
2. False Religion

Jesus taught his followers only one religion, the true religion. It is like a road leading to everlasting life. Jesus said: “Few are finding” that road. (Matthew 7:14) God accepts only worship based on his Word of truth. All true worshippers are united in one faith.​—Read John 4:23, 24; 14:6; Ephesians 4:4, 5.

Jesus warned that false prophets would corrupt Christianity. Outwardly, they seem like true worshippers. Their churches claim to be Christian. But you can recognize such people for what they really are. How? Only true worship produces genuine Christians with recognizable qualities and ways.​—Read Matthew 7:13-23.
Consider these five identifying marks:

1.True worshippers respect the Bible as God’s Word. They strive to live by its principles. So true religion differs from religion that is based on men’s ideas. (Matthew 15:7-9) True worshippers do not preach one thing and practice another.​—Read John 17:17; 1Timothy 3:16,17.
2. Jesus’ true followers honor God’s name, Jehovah. [/b]Jesus honored God’s name by making it known. He helped people to know God and taught them to pray that God’s name be sanctified. (Matthew 6:9) Where you live, which religion makes God’s name known?​—Read John 17:26; Romans 10:13, 14.
[b]3.True Christians preach about God’s Kingdom. God sent Jesus to preach the good news of the Kingdom. God’s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind. Jesus continued speaking about it until his dying day. (Luke 4:43; 8:1; 23:42, 43) He said that his followers would preach about it. If someone approaches you to speak about God’s Kingdom, to which religion does he likely belong?​—Read Matthew 24:14.
4. Jesus’ followers are no part of this wicked world. You can recognize them by the way they take no part in politics or social conflicts. (John 17:16; 18:36) Also, they do not imitate the world’s harmful practices and attitudes.​—Read James 4:4.
5. True Christians have outstanding love for one another. From God’s Word, they learn to respect all ethnic groups. Although false religions have often strongly supported the wars of the nations, true worshippers refuse to do so. (Micah 4:1-3) Rather, true Christians unselfishly use their time and resources to help and encourage others.​—Read John 13:34, 35; 1 John 4:20.

Can you identify the true religion?

Which religion bases all its teachings on God’s Word, honors God’s name, and proclaims God’s Kingdom as mankind’s only hope? Which group practices love and shuns war? What do you think?​—Read 1 John 3:10-12.
Conclusion
The person who belongs to the Christian denomination that practice all 5 points above is my fellow believer.

Whether am a Church goer or not I'll keep it to my chest.

The clergy, their laity, the religious leaders and the Church itself are the ones that usually refer to themselves as CHRISTENDOM. That word does not originate from us. Believe me. And it is not a scriptural terminology.

I told you earlier that Jehovah's Witnesses do not judge. Rather, Jesus is the judge appointed by Jehovah (Acts 17:31). He will judge everyone including you and i.
And judgment will start in the "house of God." (1 Peter 4:17-19).
While false religion will be judged adversely. See also Revelation 17:1-18; 18:4-24. Note that this woman here depict not a literal woman but false religion who commits spiritual immorality with the kings of the earth. Meaning they fuse religion with politics. God frowns at this (James 4:4). Rev.18:4 says we should "get out of her."

And in Rev. 18:22-24 says: (Amplified Bible)

22And the sound of harpists and minstrels and flute players and trumpeters shall never again be heard in you, and no skilled artisan of any craft shall ever again be found in you, and the sound of the millstone shall never again be heard in you.(N)

23And never again shall the light of a lamp shine in you, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall never be heard in you again; for your businessmen were the great and prominent men of the earth, and by your magic spells and poisonous charm all nations were led astray (seduced and deluded).

24And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all those who have been slain (slaughtered) on earth.(O)

Now from my screenshots below where i google the meaning of CHRISTENDOM, who are those that fuse Religion with Politics?
Kindly provide the answer yourself.

So are other denominations practiced all these 5 points or only JWs?

Whether am a Church goer or not I'll keep it to my chest.



Is THEOCRACY a scriptural terminology?



This is pure lies...

Why do they say they're the ONLY TRUE CHRISTIANS doing the will of Jehovah?



So you know this but you join your organization to condemn everyone who doesn't belong to your organization as enemy of Jehovah.



The Phrase "House of God" here does mean House of Jehovah or another God?

because I don't know why judgement will start from House of God (Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's witnesses) when everyone there are already doing His will.

Or should we say, the HOUSE OF GOD means everybody who is named with the name of Christ which Apostle Paul admonishes them to depart from iniquity.



When, where and how will this judgement take place because you people only talk about Armageddon!

Janosky:


The word theocracy (meaning rule by God) is not in the Bible but the practice of theocracy is biblical.
Theocracy was in practice before Adam's rebellion.

Jehovah's servants (not triune deity devotees of Christendom) are the only ones doing Jehovah's will.
Jehovah's servants are the only ones whose faith reflects 1 Corinthians 3:23.
Unlike triune deity devotees who FALSELY claim that Jesus is Jehovah.
1 Corinthians 3:23 says Jehovah is not Jesus.

The destruction of "workers of iniquity" (Matt7:21-23. 2Thess1:7-9. Matt15:13) will commence from Jehovah's Organization to uproot "impostors" our heavenly Father did not plant in 'His Household' of faithful servants. Matt24:13.

. The Bible’s Viewpoint.

What Is Judgment Day?
The Bible says that God “has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth.” (Acts 17:31) For many people the prospect of being subjected to any kind of judgment is unwelcome. Is that how you feel?

IF SO, you can find comfort in the fact that Judgment Day is a loving arrangement that will bring great blessings to the human family​—including those who have died. (Matthew 20:28; John 3:16) Why is Judgment Day necessary? What will actually occur during that “day”?

Judgment Day​—Why Needed?
When God placed humans on the earth, he did not intend it to be merely a proving ground for future life in another realm. He created humans to live forever on the earth. Although physically and mentally perfect, the first human couple rebelled against God. As a result, they lost the prospect of eternal life for themselves and brought sin and death to all of their descendants.​—Genesis 2:15-17; Romans 5:12.

Judgment Day will be a period of a thousand years during which humans will have the opportunity to regain what Adam and Eve lost. * Notice that Acts 17:31, quoted above, says that Judgment Day will affect those living on “the inhabited earth.” Those receiving favorable judgment will live on earth and will enjoy everlasting life in perfect conditions. (Revelation 21:3, 4) Thus, Judgment Day helps to accomplish God’s original purpose for humans and the earth.

God’s appointed Judge is Christ Jesus. The Bible says that Jesus will “judge the living and the dead.” (2 Timothy 4:1) Who are “the living” that will be judged? How will the dead come to life again on “the inhabited earth”?

Jesus Judges “the Living”
We are now nearing the foretold end of the present system of things, when God will destroy all elements of corrupt human society and remove the wicked. Survivors of this system’s end are “the living” who will be judged.​—Revelation 7:9-14; 19:11-16.

During that period of judgment, which will last 1,000 years, Christ Jesus along with 144,000 men and women resurrected to life in heaven will rule over the earth. They will serve as kings and priests, administering the benefits of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice and progressively elevating faithful humans to physical and mental perfection.​—Revelation 5:10; 14:1-4; 20:4-6.

During Judgment Day, Satan and the demons will be restrained from influencing human activity. (Revelation 20:1-3) However, at the end of Judgment Day, Satan will be allowed to test the loyalty of every human living. Those who remain loyal to God will have passed the test that Adam and Eve failed. They will be judged worthy of receiving everlasting life in the restored Paradise earth. Those who choose to rebel against God will be permanently destroyed, as will Satan and the demons.​—Revelation 20:7-9.

Judging “the Dead”
The Bible says that during Judgment Day the dead will “rise up.” (Matthew 12:41) Jesus said that “the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” (John 5:28, 29) This is not referring to disembodied souls of those who have died. The dead are totally unconscious and do not have a soul that survives death. (Ecclesiastes 9:5; John 11:11-14, 23, 24) Jesus will bring those asleep in death back to life again on earth.

Will the judgment of resurrected ones be based on what they did before their death? No. The Bible teaches that “he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7) So, like those who survive the end of this system, those resurrected to life on earth will be judged “according to their deeds” during Judgment Day. (Revelation 20:12, 13) Depending on the final outcome of their actions, this will turn out to be either a resurrection that results in everlasting life or a resurrection that results in destruction. Many of those restored to life will for the first time come to know about Jehovah God and his requirements for life. They will have the opportunity to live in harmony with God’s will and receive everlasting life on earth.

No Reason for Fear
Judgment Day will be not only a time of instruction from God but also a time for those alive to apply what they learn and enjoy the blessings that result. Just imagine your joy at being reunited with resurrected loved ones and growing to human perfection along with them!

Just imagine your joy at being reunited with resurrected loved ones

God will allow Satan to test the loyalty of human creatures at the end of Judgment Day. But there is no need to be anxious or fearful. By the end of Judgment Day, all living will be fully equipped to face this final test. Judgment Day will thus be a part of the accomplishment of God’s purpose to undo all the effects of the original rebellion against God in the garden of Eden.

HAVE YOU WONDERED?
What is Judgment Day?​—Acts 17:31.

Who will be judged?​—2 Timothy 4:1.

How long will Judgment Day last?​—Revelation 20:4-6.
