If you had the job to decide who will be saved or not at Armageddon...

I would look at how a person displayed the quality of love to others throughout his life. I would look at how honest a person lived when he could have lied or cheated, taxes ect. ect. If I was God I would also look at the sincerity of there prayers. Laws enforced by the imperfect interpretations of men would have No weight in my decisions. At the same time I would never shotgun a group of people like the JW's as a whole because they have simply been misled and brainwashed into the judgmental group they are. Good question by the way>

JH

Actes 2:21

21 And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”’ *

What is that supposed to mean? That only JW's will be saved?

This doesn't sound like an honest translation of the bible...

I sorta agree with the above post about not lumping every JW together. But, I still do. All the elders that played god, all the "brothers" (abusers and molesters) that hid behind the WBTS, and can't forget the govening body, who most of now probably suffers from some kind of dementia---all of these should die a SLOW painful death. Like being stoned by their victims or maybe thrown into a river, with a stone tied around their neck!

Oh, and anyone still wearing a 1970's UGLY polyester suit!

NIV Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved

NAS Acts 2:21 'AND IT SHALL BE THAT ( A ) EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'

(Amplified Bible) Acts 2:21 'And it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [ [ a ] invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord--Christ] shall be saved.' ( A )

(King James Version) Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Havent found anything saying you have to envoke the name 'jehovah' to be saved

If I believed the JW interpretation:
To make it fair, I'd allow everyone to survive armageddon. Why should people only at that time in history be judged in their imperfect state and under the influence of Satan, when the resurrected ones have not been judged yet and will be judged when perfect and not under the influence of Satan?
I don't see how it's fair that only some people (people living at the time of armageddon) will be judged under their imperfect circumstances and condition, but the rest will be judged when perfect. I'd give everyone the same chance.

I'd save all the people and kill god.

LOL gary, you took the words right out of my mouth.

i would prefer to keep everyone so the world would pretty much remain the same, warts and all.

i would prefer to solve our own problems, answer to ourselves, and leave god to watching reruns of every body loves lucy in whatever other dimension he has been loafing in for thousands of years.

horrible life

Whoever ever screwed me over would be going downnnnnn. My ex-boss would be #1. I can just picture him in the Paradise book, falling into the abyss. Now that is a comforting thought, I bet I sleep good tonight. HL

I would flip a coin and make decisions based on arbitrary opinions.
