    Bottom of the page asks this question;

    Have you ever wondered . . .
    DO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES BELIEVE THAT THEIR RELIGION IS THE ONLY RIGHT ONE?

    The link takes you to this answer;

    Do the Witnesses believe that their religion is the only right one?

    Anyone who is serious about his religion should think that it is the right one. Otherwise, why would he or she be involved in it? Christians are admonished: "Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine." ( 1 Thessalonians 5:21 ) A person should make sure that his beliefs can be supported by the Scriptures, for there is only one true faith. Ephesians 4:5 confirms this, mentioning "one Lord, one faith, one baptism." Jesus did not agree with the modern, relaxed view that there are many roads, many religions, all leading to salvation. Instead, he said: "Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it." Jehovah's Witnesses believe that they have found it. Otherwise, they would look for another religion.

    Do they believe that they are the only ones who will be saved?

    No. Millions that have lived in centuries past and who were not Jehovah's Witnesses will come back in a resurrection and have an opportunity for life. Many now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before the "great tribulation," and they will gain salvation. Moreover, Jesus said that we should not be judging one another. We look at the outward appearance; God looks at the heart. He sees accurately and judges mercifully. He has committed judgment into Jesus' hands, not ours.

    Too soon after lunch for this - Note that they wait until the final statement or two to commit to an answer. Then the second question is completely misleading. No one would ever ask that question looking to find out what Jw's believe about the dead and salvation. The comment about those now living is misleading also, since it never says one should become a Jw directly. Then a valiant tirade against Judging. Wow. Talk about calling the kettle black.

    When they are not lying directly, they are busy building a straw man or dodging an honest answer. Bastards.

    Man, they're using all 2 brain cells to reason that one. They have absolutely no idea of what spirituality is!

    They ought to practice that, if this were true why do the DF people for not going along with them in their teachings

    Just wait until you hang out with them and then listen and watch their judgmental conduct.

    ^---- They always add that caveat: "however, elders have been given authority from Jesus to rid the congregation of those who would threaten the spiritual health of the body."

    "Of course, if they DO look for another religion, we'll judge their ass and shun them!"

    Yes many will be resurrected for a second chance at life, but unless they take on the 'principals' of the dubs they will die with Satan lol.
