If Anyone disagrees with MY choice of religion, they deserve to DIE!"

    When the zealous J W wholeheartedly believes in "The Truth", that he has the only truth and that God favours only his chosen religion...

    He is in effect saying what the title says when he nods approval to these and many similar statements in WT literature:-

    WT Feb 15 1983 p12

    "A third requirement is that we be associated with God’s channel, his organization. God has always used an organization. For example, only those in the ark in Noah’s day survived the Flood, and only those associated with the Christian congregation in the first century had God’s favor. (Acts 4:12) Similarly, Jehovah is using only one organization today to accomplish his will. To receive everlasting life in the earthly Paradise we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it."

    "Yes but that is everlasting life, surviving Armageddon might be different" - is what a J W family member reasoned...Well how about these comments?

    WT 2005 December 1st p 6

    To that end, Jehovah has wisely made sure that the “good news of the kingdom” is proclaimed far and wide, in hundreds of languages. People everywhere are being given the opportunity for survival and salvation. (Matthew 24:14; Psalm 37:34; Philippians 2:12) Those who respond favorably to the good news can survive Armageddon and live forever in perfection on a paradise earth. (Ezekiel 18:23, 32; Zephaniah 2:3; Romans 10:13) Is this not what one would expect from a God who is love?—1 John 4:8.

    Nobody with the first idea of J W's would argue that they mean any other "Good News" than the one that they preach.

    The Book "Reasoning From The Scriptures" p47 Topic Armageddon

    Will there be survivors?

    Zeph. 2:3: “Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger.”

    2 Thess. 1:8, 9: “Those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus . . . will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction.”

    {NB The only 'Good News' that counts, is that preached by J W's}

    Scary stuff! unless we seek Jehovah (who can only be found in the Kingdom Hlls of J W's) we are slaughtered in everlasting destruction.

    The Witness will counter "But that is what The Bible says, we must be on the narrow road leading to salvation"

    O K , but which road is it? It is the one that YOU (the Witness) has chosen . You have decided that this religion ticks all the boxes and is the "right one". If I disagree with you, and say that another one, IMHO is more likely the "right one"...You dismiss me as "wicked"...So a "Wicked man" is anybody that disagrees with YOU!!!!!

    How arrogant is that??

    I picked up a WT mag at the doctor's office, the public version. Oh was it all candy coated and delicious. I could see how tranquil everything seemed, how inviting. June 1, 2011 issue. No pictures of people being slaughtered by Jehovah. Even the back cover gives the reader no clue that the Paradise comes with a huge price: "Will humans ruin the earth?"

    People ask, "Why do adult people with any reasonable amount of intelligence fall for the JW's?" Looking over this WT, it's like the sweet syrup in the center of a flesh eating plant. Sweet, inviting, but deadly dangerous once you step in for a taste of the bait.

    Just thinking, Jesus had pitty... says they tossed and thrown about like sheep with out a shepperd. I have not seen JW's showing pitty for anyone, they are hateful. Also the scriptures say it is God's war not man's war.

    Like going out in FS they always bad mouthing about everyone when they come back to the vehicle. always talking like they are above everyone else. Too many incodents to really mention but I can not stand their attitude always talking to you like you have never heard anything or learned anything in your whole life. I only seen were an elder anounced some one being DFed but it did not the least bit sound like he had any sympothy or pitty for the person or sorry or hope maybe they come back or something, it was down right hateful, and the last time I was at a meeting this elder looking at me as if I was vomit or something... There no way I will go back around that again...
