    Yep, it doesn't matter what 'worldly people' say because JW's use different words. They know what they mean when they say "Christian" but the worldly person doesn't know they are excluded.

    A person is described as " spiritual " because they go in field service, raise their hands to comment at meetings, and give talks from the platform. Has nothing to do with being spiritual within

    The Question:

    "do jehovah's Witnesses believe that only Jehovah's Witnesses will survive Armagaeddon?"

    " Jehovah's witnesses do not believe that they are the only ones to be saved. In the resurrection during the 1000 year reign of Christ blah blah blah"

    "The truth" - made up, inconsistent, contradictory and sometimes nonsensical set of teachings that have a shelf life of a decade or so

    "research" - reading publications containing "the truth"

    Modest = Current WT Conscience.

    Doesn't matter what everyone else thinks.

    Or doesn't matter that other churches find this or that offensive. In other words - become MORE modest that JW.

    Modest is what the WT brass thinks is acceptable.

    Anything less is immodest.

    Anthing more? Unreasonable.

    While I'm at it.

    No Titles = Titles.

    Somehow the WT has turned Nouns into Verbs, and yet kept it as a title.

    Elder is a Verb. ie... someone who elders less mature.

    So that's not a title.

    C.O. - that's not a title.

    Hell... it's not even a noun. It's a verb.

    They are a C.O. because it's an "act" of helping congregations.

    But no... it's not a title.
