  Do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?
  No. Many millions who 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 God's time of judgment, and they will gain salvation. Moreover, Jesus said that we should not be judging one another. Humans look at the outward appearance; God looks at the heart. He sees accurately and judges mercifully. God has committed judgment into Jesus' hands, not ours.—Matthew 7:1-5; John 5:22, 27.

  LOL! They actually did lie in that one. With no omission.

  In other words, if you didn't get a visit from us, you may still have a chance. And a better one yet:

  now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before God's time of judgment, and they will gain salvation.

  Which means, some will convert to JWism just before the end. The others, well, you know the rest. The rest of the paragraph is just nonsensical nonsense which has nothing to do with the question itself.

  : Do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?
  No.

  As it was phrased, they answered the question honestly, albeit somewhat deviously. The question that SHOULD have been posed was "Do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved at the battle of Armageddon?"

  While it is a fact that dubs are taught that the answered to that question is an unqualified "yes," dubs are carefully taught to avoid being totally honest. Instead, they say something like "we don't judge people's hearts. Only Jehovah can do that." Of course that is a bunch of bullshit, too, since their religious leaders DO judge people by printing time and time again that ONLY dubs will survive Armageddon, and even many of them won't make it unless they do more, MORE,

  MORE,

  MORE,

  MORE!!

  for their religious masters.

  From a fundamentalist point of view the Bible does describe a mass slaughter at Armaggeddon. So the WTS are not alone in preaching damnation to those who don't conform.
