I'm happy to see that hell fire and eternal torment fits the WTS , it's leaders and followers very well, after all they promote the fact that Satan and his followers will be dispatched to Gehenna and the misery and lies they bring to the world is a suitable punishment to them

Deputy -- I wasn't trying to be intentionally misleading. Your answer was exactly the type of response I was looking for. If I'm understanding you correctly, you've indicated that "membership" in the JW (or any church) is not necessarily a determining factor. Or, another way of putting it would be, "Some JWs are going to Hell and others are not." Is that correct? Or am I assuming to much?

They are concerned/worried about the JWs and others, and they are pro-actively seeking to reach these persons with the message of Jesus.
That pretty much sums it up. I read your disassociation letter and I like where you quoted the Watchtower as follows:
“The Scriptures show that if we are part of any organization that is bloodguilty before God, we must sever our ties with it if we do not want to share in its sins.” (Rev. 18:4, 24; Mic. 4:3) (
United in Worship , 1983, Chap. 20, p. 155, par. 4)
“If, after making an honest investigation, you are less than pleased with what you see, do more than just complain. . . . Church members . . . are responsible for what the church says and does. So ask yourself: Am I willing to share responsibility for everything my church says and does? . . . But your life depends upon being 100 percent sure. . . . Make your choice accordingly.” (
Awake! , Sept. 8, 1987, pp. 19-11)
That's good advice for all of us.

Let's say a JW is a 100% true believer and they think that "only WT is God's organization" and they believe that all other religions are from the Devil.Is there a possibility that this person will go to Heaven when they die? In other words, will they benefit from Grace, in spite of their beliefs?
Devotion to a religious organization does not equal salvation. If that JW puts the WT before Jesus (which they are doing if they believe that theirs is the only true religion) or if they believe that they need both the WT AND Jesus, then according to the bible, they are in danger of not going to heaven. The bible says Jesus is the ONLY way. It doesn't matter how good you are or how sincere you are if you put something else in place of or equal to Jesus.
God showed grace to us by giving us His son so that humans would have the opportunity to chose salvation. He now requires only one thing from us to receive salvation - confess you're a sinner, accept Jesus as your saviour and follow Him. God already did His part, it's now up to us to make the choice.
I'm wondering if you meant to ask, according to our beliefs, would a true Christian even attend a KH?
