  do you believe only the jw's will be saved? from official wtbs website.

  do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?

  many millions who have lived in centuries past and who were not jehovah's witnesses will come back in a resurrection and have an opportunity for life.

  many now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before god's time of judgment, and they will gain salvation.

  what does it matter how we live?

  by candidlynuts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was reading ecclesiastes 1 -3 today(excerpt is from chapter 2)..... and i'm not a bible scholar and dont claim any wisdom... but these scriptures seem to just say you live and you die regardless of who or what you do in life.

  its all vanity...... is this the true wisdom of the bible?

  that we exsist not by or for any reason.. we just exsist then we die..... end of story?

  forbidden reading and the wtbs opinion

  by candidlynuts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i distinctly remember how the wtbs used to bash the catholic church for restricting reading material .

  and to read something forbidden was a very serious sin.

  implied in these comments was that it was wrong of the catholic church.

  do you remember when?

  do you remember when assemblies were more interesting?

  as a kid i remember live music (my dad always played at circuit assemblies) you got to hear them tune up and the musicians enjoyed so much giving their talent for those days.

  speakers were chosen because they could give good talks and were respected brothers even if they had funny voices, not chosen just because they have a loud deep voice and can read from a script.
