It was a fun exercise. Next time we should ask AI who the biblical "other sheep" are to see if we are pointed to followers of a religion with headquarters in New York.

My Son Sean, who is a pastor, decided to ask AI.
"Who does the Bible consider sheep and how does an individual become a sheep?"
Turns out that WT non-leaders should consult AI instead of relying on their writing department.
AI writes:
"In the Bible, sheep are often used as a metaphor for followers of God or believers. The term is used to describe individuals who have placed their faith in God and are willing to follow His commands.
In the New Testament, Jesus frequently referred to himself as the Good Shepherd, and his followers as his sheep. For example, in John 10:27-28, Jesus says, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand." This passage suggests that those who listen to Jesus and follow him are considered his sheep and will receive eternal life.
To become a sheep in the biblical sense, one must first recognize their need for a savior and put their faith in Jesus Christ. This involves acknowledging that Jesus is the Son of God who died for our sins, and committing to follow him as Lord and Savior. Once an individual makes this decision, they become part of the family of God, and are considered one of His sheep. This is a lifelong commitment to follow Christ and obey His commands, which is the mark of a true believer.
Got any other evidence that AI knows better than Watchtower?

The Berean church I am associated with in the US does not believe the Trinity or that the soul is immortal or that the punishment for sin is eternal torment. They believe in one God, Jehovah and that Jesus is His only begotten Son. They are against war and are for holy living.
So on what bases would your organization conclude that they could not know and love God and His Son?

Re: Are there not Christians in the world other than those affiliated with your organization that obey God's commands?
"Not as JW understand the Bible."
Tell me what biblical commands do they not obey?
By the way unlike the Watchtower faith, the one faith delivered to the saints has not changed one iota.

"God is the ultimate judge. WT claims to be God’s agency on earth."
Strange that you cannot judge whether those not affiliated with your organization may know and love Father and Son.
After all God's unique agency on eartn has no qualms about judging millions who were martyred in previous centuries for faith in Christ as non Christians. Similarly they judge that those not affiliated with your organization who name the name of Christ today are not Christians.
What is it about affiliation with your organization that might make JWs uniquely capable of knowing and loving Jehovah and His Son?
Are there not Christians in the world other than those affiliated with your organization that obey God's commands?

Rich Man and Lazarus
by Ding ini have never understood the watchtower's explanation of the rich man and lazarus story jesus told in luke 16. of course, they don't believe jesus is talking about what happens in an "afterlife" after people die.. but from the watchtower's point of view:.
1. who are the five brothers?.
2. why can't lazarus go witness to them?

The Norwegian congregations will be having to make up the shortfall of not only the $1.5m lost, but the legal fees.
To quote the disgraced Tony Morris et alia, “We can certainly see Jehovah’s hand in this.”
