Beeledub,
Exactly! In addition to all of the quotes I posted, which are directly from the Organization itself, there are all kinds of examples of things dubs say and do that reflect the doctrine that "only Jehovah’s Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the ‘great crowd,’ as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural home of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil."
I remember the last convention I went to, where the speaker was literally shouting that "ONLY THOSE WHO ARE INSIDE JEHOVAH'S CHOSEN ORGANIZATION WILL SURVIVE ARMAGEDDON!" (He judiciously added that even some of those people would die, their blood joining the river of blood flowing in the streets.)
And I remember the last Watchtower study I went to, where a loyal dub said that being in the organization was like being on Noah's ark -- if you weren't in it, you were going to die with the rest of the world. An appreciative murmer of approval washed over the congregation before the elder conducting the study trudged on to the next paragraph.
Really, people in the Organization say this kind of stuff all the time.
But I digress. Derrick, if you're still reading this, you don't have to settle with anecdotal evidence. I've provided quotes directly from the literature of the organization. I still want to know what you think of it. If I've misunderstood, please explain how.
