    1 peter 3:15-17

    15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

    In light if this 2 questions?

    1-- Is the hope you have dependant upon being one of Jehovahs Witnesses?

    If yes yes

    2--why?

    Brainfloss, I saw this thread but was not motivated to answer you until you addressed me personally in the other thread.

    1--yes. Unless Jehovah tells me otherwise (unlikely).

    2--because I truly believe that JW's are the true Christians, warts and all.

    Who else is teaching people about Jehovah?

    Who else evangelizes to the extent that each and every JW does?

    The worldwide preaching work is the touchstone of true Christianity. No one does it better than JW's.

    thank you very much for your response

    Is it your belief that salvation comes exclusively through association with Jehovah's Witnesses

    Those are good jw answers by watcher but unfortunately wrong, because the new testament is all about Christ , teaching about Jehovah is irrelevant except when its to show that he sent the son and so on but what of it. Jesus is proclaimed by most Christian religions way more then JW. And if you read Galations 1:6 even Paul said the good news was about the messiah.

    It now myunderstanding that the jws proclaim what they proclaim just to be different from all the rest.

    Watcher says "unless Jehovah tells me otherwise" .... this is JW speak for "unless the WT organisation tells me otherwise".

    JWs DO believe that salvation comes only through association with the organisation. To them Jesus Chrsit is not enough.

    Poor A Watcher suffers from the same delusion as other dubs. Dubs believe that one of the "proofs" of them having "THE TRUTH" is that they teach about YHWH. They especially like to claim that only they are teaching the poor Worldly amaharets GOD's "name." Sadly, that whole line of non- reasoning falls apart under examination.

    Neither A Watcher, or ANY active JW for that matter, can prove ANY JW belief with the criteria for truth. As of yet, no JW on any forum can prove any unique JW belief by the WTBTS's own criteria for truth. If you don't believe me, just start asking around. They will insult you, ignore you, judge you, but they have ABSOLUTELY ZERO proof of the unique beliefs that make them "true Christians.".

    If A Watcher or any JW reading this can use the GB's criteria of truth as presented at the Gods Word Is Truth DC, to prove just one thing, I will confess to posting on this site. I will turn my self in to the DUKES of Revelation. Seriously, just prove GODS name is JEHOVAH. Just prove that only Jws preach the GOSPEL. COME ON!! Take the challenge! Stand up for the GB!!! Stand up for truth!!!

    ANYONE?!?!?! Hello?!!!!

    Brainfloss, for the most part, yes. I believe that JW's have the best chance of surviving the GT, altho I don't believe they are the only ones who will survive.

    Many have not had the chance to learn about Jehovah, for example, North Korea. I believe Jehovah will read their individual hearts and judge them accordingly.

    I also believe that those who are not capable of serving Jehovah at this time, for example, people with Down's Syndrome, will also have their hearts read and be judged accordingly.

    However, I believe those who had the chance to be JW's and refused probably won't survive.
