MaxInDHouse: That's ok. That's how you see it. Another person here can say the same of his own church or religion. Keep up your morality no matter where you are. When the day of reckoning comes, we shall know for sure. I believe God will judge us individually. |

Sand2022: Individual judgment is not now! The first thing is to be obedient to Jesus' born again brothers and readiness to work with them {Matthew 25:34-40} whoever is no one of Jehovah's Witnesses cannot be saved! The only thing that can make you escape the coming destruction is when you are seriously studying with JWs and making progress that's the only way your name can enter God's memory book! Malachi 3:16 Individual judgment will come after Christ's 1,000 years by that time all those living on this planet would have become perfect so it will be what each person turns out to be that will determine their judgment {Revelations 20:13} but for now it's humility and righteousness that God is using {Zephaniah 2:2-3} that humility means to submit to the imperfect Governing Body chosen to gather Jesus' earthly subjects in preparation of his coming kingdom! Matthew 24:45 So whoever feels like picking at their mistakes thinking Jesus will consider his/her self righteousness is deceiving himself! Matthew 25:41-46 2 Likes |

MaxInDHouse: I wonder where you got that from. Perhaps that's your understanding. The witnesses do not teach that if you're not a JW, you won't be saved. As far as I know, they don't know that for sure. They live the judgment for Jesus. I assume that's your own belief. But it's good to be let Jesus make that decision. Seriously, you can't know for sure what he will decide. Remember that criminal at his right hand, who knows that even though he is not baptized, nor follow Jesus, he was saved. That should humble us to let the God appointed judge do his work. The only thing that can make you escape the coming destruction is when you are seriously studying with JWs and making progress that's the only way your name can enter God's memory book! Malachi 3:16 That's not what that scripture says. Any christian can do what that Malachi says, not minding his denomination. Right? Individual judgment will come after Christ's 1,000 years by that time all those living on this planet would have become perfect so it will be what each person turns out to be that will determine their judgment {Revelations 20:13} but for now it's humility and righteousness that God is using {Zephaniah 2:2-3} that humility means to submit to the imperfect Governing Body chosen to gather Jesus' earthly subjects in preparation of his coming kingdom! Matthew 24:45 There lots of wrong statements made here. Would you want to talk about it? |

Sand2022:It's the case of that the thief that supposed to help you. All we needed is to welcome Jesus' arrangement. That guy exercised great faith because himself and the so called Christ are suffering the same fate yet he reasoned that everything written in God's word about the Christ is fulfilling in this man's life including the prophecy that the Christ will be killed alongside criminals {Isaiah 53:12} that's why he obediently, humbly and faithfully acknowledged Jesus as King. Jesus has no option than to welcome him because all what God required from imperfect humans is humility {Zephaniah 2:2-3} and that thief did just so. You too can do the same by considering the prophecy about Jesus' brothers who are spiritual Jews {Zechariah 8:23} but if you're contemplating on the evil that's befalling them due to the handiworks of faithless people then don't compare yourself with that thief. He had every reason to doubt Jesus who can't save himself! Sand2022:It must be done in an ORGANIZED manner not just randomly so only JWs are doing that. Sand2022: Don't hesitate to talk because whatever you're hearing now is your chance of knowing the TRUTH otherwise please ignore me! 2 Likes |

Sand2022: At the bolded, No that's not what JWs teach. From the screenshot below directly from their website, Only Jehovah's witnesses will survive Armaggedon and be saved. You may hear some JWs tell you otherwise but those ones are actually disagreeing with the approved doctrine from Watchtower above which is not allowed in the Cult. You can't disagree with Watchtower. When discussing with JWs, it is either their way or the highway. They are not people you can sit down and discuss Bible with the hope of interchanging opinions. Don't expect a JW to accept your opinion even if you are right and can prove it with the Bible. It never happens. In case you don't know, Watchtower is Supreme to JWs and whatever they are taught stands even if it is obviously wrong and cannot be found in the Bible. The earlier you understand this, the better while you are chatting with this fellow.

MaxInDHouse: Good. Wonderful. So we can now see that someone who was not baptized made it to the kingdom. In other words, someone who is not a JW, if we use the JW understanding, made it to God's kingdom. Isn't that revealing? It must be done in an ORGANIZED manner not just randomly so only JWs are doing that. Alright your concern is organization. I get it. Well, many churches today are organized. Don't hesitate to talk because whatever you're hearing now is your chance of knowing the TRUTH otherwise please ignore me My oga. I am local. Individual judgment will come after Christ's 1,000 years by that time all those living on this planet would have become perfect so it will be what each person turns out to be that will determine their judgment {Revelations 20:13} but for now it's humility and righteousness that God is using {Zephaniah 2:2-3} that humility means to submit to the imperfect Governing Body chosen to gather Jesus' earthly subjects in preparation of his coming kingdom! Matthew 24:45 You said individual judgment will come after Christs thousand year reign. Is that your understanding or the teaching of JWs? I agree with this. That's the meaning of that Rev 20;13 you quoted. Fantastic!. After Christ reign, not during. But that's not what JWs teach. It's good to know that you do your bible study and differ with JW doctrine in some areas. That makes you sincere if you ask me. Although it is on the "would have become perfect" aspect that I don't know how you arrived at that. If the judgment will be after the thousand year reign, how will all be perfect from the grave? 1 Like |

Courz: Thanks for the screenshot. Generally that is what they believe about those that will survive Armageddon, but that article is not technically covering all that will be saved as JW believe. It didn't define who is meant by the word "Jehovah's witnesses". And it also didn't talk about all who die now before the end of the world. It also didn't talk about those who lived before the existence of modern JWs. So it refers to the end of the world destruction specifically. The guy doesn't know all the beliefs of witnesses. He is trying but there is room for progress. 1 Like |

Sand2022:There are lots of JWs out there practicing other religions but deep in their hearts they're with the one and only channel so they will continue to argue here and there until they meet JWs. But even if you're born in the midst of JWs but believe that there are other channels it simply means you're not one of us! So the thief is a Jew who believe in the Christ but after meeting the Christ he never hesitate to grasp the opportunity of confessing himself as one of Christ's subjects despite his past lifestyle. Sand2022: Don't deceive yourself! If they're organized to do God's will there won't be any wars! Sand2022:Whatever you hear from me is JW's teaching (updated) so our light is ever getting brighter!Proverbs 4:18 As for the highlighted resurrection is only for two categories of people: Righteous ~ those who spent all their lives in pure worship so God has declared them RIGHTEOUS. Unrighteous ~ those who only lived by conscience without God's laws {Romans 2:14-15} though they don't know God's laws but they soberly subjected themselves to their God's given conscience so they remain unrighteous from God's standpoint but they will be remembered for their virtues. As for those that choose to be wicked they will never see resurrection {Psalms 9:17} they are gone for good. After the resurrection the Christians will now teach all those that lived by conscience what Christ taught us we will all continue putting on Christ's personality for one thousand years. From God's standpoint all the people living on planet earth whether Christian or none Christian are like dead because some former unbelievers who lived by conscience will insist on living without Christ's teachings and because it's based on Christ's sacrifice that they were released from the grave, God will allow such a person to live for just 100 years so if after living with us for 100 years without growing older he still refuse to believe in Jesus' sacrifice as what caused his release from the grave he will have to die again and now his blood will be upon his own head because he will die as a youth {Isaiah 65:20} then Satan will be released to test all survivors after 1,000 years! Revelations 20:5-6 After the 1,000 years we will all have become perfect like Adam and Eve so Satan will be released to test all survivors. That is the time each person will be judged based on what they choose to be after they've become perfect. Revelations 20:13 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: You don't become a JWs unless you become baptize in the faith. That's not even the point. The point is, the evil man got saved without even being baptized. The basic thing needed is faith in Jesus. With that, Jesus can grant you access to that kingdom without answering any query from anyone. The reason for the point is this; leave the issue if salvation to Jesus, God appointed judge because you may not know for sure whom he will pick as saved. Check the answer to the question about salvation from your website. Don't deceive yourself! If they're organized to do God's will there won't be any wars! What do you understand from the word "organization"? Whatever you hear from me is JW's teaching (updated) so our light is ever getting brighter!Proverbs 4:18 You don't know what JWs teach on this subject. Humbly make research. |

Courz:Matthew 24:37-39, according to Jesus Christ, will Jehovah God save ONLY his servants? Isaiah 43:10,21 (ASV) & Acts 15:14, are you aware the disciples identified themselves as Jehovah's servants? As it was in the days of Noah,so shall it occur again , with Armageddon, only Jehovah's servants survived.. Repeat mode of Noah's day, according to Jesus Christ. Acts 24:15, after Armageddon the resurrection is for the righteous and the unrighteous." For the resurrection,JWs (Jehovah's servants don't determine who will get resurrection. But, Matthew 24:36-39, only Jehovah's servants will be saved. Courz: Courz the atheist otenearron confam doesn't believe in the Bible. What is he proving from the holy Bible he rejects?

Sand2022: John 5:28-29 = Acts 24:15, resurrection of life for faithful obedient Servants of Jehovah throughout the millennium reign of king Jesus Christ after passing the final test from Satan released from the abyss. Resurrection of judgement for wilful disobedient ones falling prey to Satan after his release from the abyss. Sand2022:Acts 2:41-47 & John 20:17,organized for Jehovah's worship. Not Organization of 3 deities worshippers. Sand2022: The resurrection of Revelation 20:13 same as resurrection of John 5:28-29 & Acts 24:15. The millennium reign of Jesus Christ is a period of judgement (to bring mankind to perfection) leading to the final test of Jehovah's servants after Satan's release from abyss. John 5:28- individuals faithful obedience and passing the final test of Satan is a resurrection of life everlasting. John 5:29 this is a resurrection of judgement for disobedient individuals failure to attain perfection and succumb to Satan's for testing. Sand2022:The millennium reign of king Christ would lead mankind to perfection (replace what Adam lost). |
Re: My Experience With The Jehovah's Witnesses Organization by Janosky: 12:09am On Nov 13, 2022 |
Sand2022:Greek lexicon 5590 @ Matthew 10:28 & Mark 3:4 has the same meaning. Man can kill a soul on the Sabbath or save a soul,says Jesus Christ. Soul is life/living person (living soul). The rich fool gained the world & forfeited his soul (loss of life/dead) without prospect of resurrection. Matthew 10:28, God can resurrect a soul killed by his fellow man on Sabbath, but nobody can resurrect any soul (life or living person) destroyed by God's judgement. Who resurrected Adam? Who resurrected the rebellious sons of korah ? Who resurrected the wife of Lot or people of Sodom Gomorrah? God rendered judgement on there case. Their case closed. No resurrection for them. The Bible translators deliberately interchange the use of Soul /life to deceptively stick to the Greek philosophy of immortal soul. Shalom. |

Janosky: lost fraud jw janosky you love to imply that the Christians Father and son and Holy spirit of the Bible is "3 deities" which means 3 gods you also call them: "the 3 dogheads", and you call the Christians Holy Spirit of the Bible: "the ole demon ghost you reward is coming: Mar 3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin 1Jn 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire |

Sand2022:Oga,Why throw tantrums online? You claimed that not only Jehovah's servants will be saved, therefore this question is relevant: @Matthew 24:36-39, did God judge Noah and his Sons individually? According to Jesus Christ, did Jehovah God save ONLY his servants? Matthew 24:37-39, only Noah and his Family (the only servants of Jehovah's witnesses, (at that time of the Great Flood), were saved. Isaiah 43:10 (ASV) Jehovah's witnesses= Jehovah's servants. Can your brain process this truth in your Bible? |

Sand2022: They can choose to deny lie and keep the contradictions. They will use upper lips of their mouth to say they are the only ones to be saved in the next minute they will use the lower lips to say no they are not the only one to be saved. Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Feel That They Are the Only People Who Will Be Saved? See the manipulation in the question first. They use the word FEEL instead of BELIEVE. Then the response below...... No. Many millions who lived in centuries past and who weren’t Jehovah’s Witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation. The Bible explains that in God’s promised new world, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) Additionally, many now living may yet begin to serve God, and they too will gain salvation. In any case, it’s not our job to judge who will or won’t be saved. That assignment rests squarely in Jesus’ hands.—John 5:22, 27. Correlate this with Courz image about the religious organization still saying they are the only religious organization having chance of salvation 3 Likes

I don't understand how you can be teaching something in Kingdom halls but at the same time say something else in your FAQ Section in your website. Why can't they be straightforward and say their beliefs to outsiders with pride? Are they not proud of their beliefs or do they believe they have to lie to deceive people to join the Cult since people read FAQ sections in websites? Perhaps they know inwardly that their beliefs are bullshit that have successfully prevented people from joining the Cult! This Cult is full of lies all through. See another example of their bold faced lie below. FAQ section is saying one thing on the left while they are saying something different to JWs on the right. Why are they lying? 1 Like
