Since the Bible says there is the ressurection of the unrighteous and it doesn't say there are exceptions, then one would be running ahead of God's Word by adding or taking away and that's second death stuff....Oooh!.....Also, if they would not agree to use the Bible as their source, I would say, there's no point in questions and answers for "Bible students".
I need three good questions!

I always say "I was reading Duet 18: 20-22--- & I was realizing not one of the prophesy's I believed ( as the WT teaches) came true. I love JWs ,I thank the organization so much for making me quit smoking!!But They also told me the Bible was Gods infallible word. & that scripture tells me NOT to be afraid of False prophets. Also it told me that there is no fear in love -so I started to really investigate all I believed, & then I read where Jehovah said LISTEN to my SON! so I started to read what the SON said.... & boy did I learn I had been teaching hatred..... But only you can examine it ----remembering God gave you that gray stuff between the ears to THINK!!! Then I realized the WT told me I musnt do that..... think independently..So if I were you I would start reading instructions from the Son. LOVE THINE Enemies!!! Come to ME you who are heavily laden I will give you rest. I went to the elders when I was hurting they said go out in service more ...Then I read "What is the work of God????& His answer was The Work of God is to believe in the one God sent.... Not by works by LOVE!!!!!" & I realized they were false prophets & I am not afraid of them anymore.....

How about these
1) The Wt and also the book of Revelation point out that those who are rewarded with heavenly life must have taught the truth even saying no lie should be found on their lips.
How is it possible for all those including CT Russell and J.F Rutherford to have met these requirements when they taught many things which we now consider to be teachings of the Devil?
2) Revelation says to get out of Babylon the Great which is any religion which has false teachings.
The WT openly admits to teaching many things that were false over the years which by definition then includes them with Babylon the Great.
*** jv chap. 28 p. 632 ***
This year also was associated with expectations for resurrection of faithful pre-Christian servants of God with a view to their serving on earth as princely representatives of the heavenly Kingdom. If that really occurred, it would mean that mankind had entered an era in which death would cease to be master, and millions then living could have the hope of never dying off the earth. What a happy prospect! Though mistaken, they eagerly shared it with others.
*** jv chap. 28 pp. 632-633 ***
Later on, during the years from 1935 through 1944, a review of the overall framework of Bible chronology revealed that a poor translation of Acts
Did the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses on these matters prove to be correct? They certainly did not err in believing that God would without fail do what he had promised. But their time calculations and the expectations that they associated with these gave rise to serious disappointments.
Why should you ignore the bibles counsel and stick to a religion which admits to misleading millions and stumbling millions more with false teaching leading to serious disappointments using Jehovahs name as their authority while telling others to leave their religions for similar reasons?

What happens when you run out of NEW LIGHT?

If the light is getting brighter and brighter then why are so many in your Jehovah's Witnesses Organization suffering from depression? They don't seem to be getting brighter spirited? Do you think? Why is it that we keep hearing predictions of ARMAGEDDON coming, quoted dates even. Didn't it say that no one would know the time or the hour? Was I mistaken on the translation of that scripture?

You said 3 good questions. I don't have any, just things that have always irritated me, really. Sorry, I'm venting again!

I'm impressed. Those are good questions!
Redhotchilipepper,
You might be venting, but those are excellent points!

If Jehovah is going to use "reading hearts" as a means to judge, why is it that consistently through the bible he judges people based on their actions?
How is it that Paul tells the Ephesians (2:8) that salvation is a free gift, by faith NOT works?
Also, why is it that Jesus is the judge (and Paul would even include the "anointed" 1Cor.6:2)? Is the power of God, to read hearts, distributed?
