If Noah had built the ark, but hadn't preached, he wouldn't have been saved

  That was just one of the wise comments I heard at today's WT study. I'd like to see the proof.

  Also, "No one was saved by hanging onto the outside of the ark. They had to be deep inside. It's the same today. We have to be deep inside Jehovah's Organization."

  Also, regarding 2 Peter 3:3-7 (para. 15) about ridiculers..."Ridiculers could be anyone who goes against the arrangement of the congregation." "They are not allowed to stay in the congregation." "We must remove those who have devisive influences." There must have been 20 comments on that paragraph.

  But there were absolutely no comments on the one sentence in paragraph 11 about the need to have faith in the ransom sacrifice of God's Son, Jesus Christ. They skipped right over that. Of course, it was only one sentence. The emphasis was on Noah's ark surviving the Flood, the the first born of the Israelites being spared when the angel passed over.

  Love, Bonnie

  These are the usual mind tricks of the WTS trying to pressure the dubs into preaching because they want slaves to sell their publications. There is absolutely no proof about Noah and his preaching being necessary for his salvation.
  
  As for them being ridiculed that is justified given the numerous times they have wrongly predicted the coming of Armageddon.

  The ransom of jesus was commented on quite a few times today at our hall.
