Biblically speaking, there is only one hope for Christians. And that hope is heavenly. There is no distinction among Christians, ancient or modern.

Proof of two destinies for believers in the Bible, heavenly and earthly
by slimboyfat inthe jw idea that believers are destined either for heavenly life or for endless life on earth comes in for significant criticism by critics of various kinds.
even some groups, such as the christadelphians, who share belief in a future paradise earth, don’t share the view that some christians are destined for life in heaven.
yet there is surprisingly quite a lot of evidence in the bible for the existence of two distinct groups of believers.

What makes a cult (in the pejorative sense)?
by Vanderhoven7 inmichael moore writes:.
a cult is an organization that enslaves minds and destroys families using cult mind control.
cult mind control involves orchestrated deception, social pressure, psychological abuse, and repetitive indoctrination (brainwashing) centering around an unchallengeable ideology enforced in a totalitarian way in a closed socially-separatist community setting.

in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?

There is no such animal as a Christian who is not anointed, i.e., not born of and indwelt by the Spirit of God. John 3:3, Romans 8:9

Ten reasons Jehovah’s Witnesses have the true religion (plus a bonus one)
by slimboyfat inthinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.
1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.
not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.

They are guilty of
a. writing themselves into the salvation formula
b. claiming they are Jehovah's unique channel of communication
c. asserting that no one who rejects their authority is a real Christian
d. determining that 99% of those martyred for the name of Christ prior to the 20th century were only professed Christians
e. denying all the benefits of justification to 8 million so called modern other sheep
f. mandating shunning of former Jehovah's Witnesses
Add to that:
They preach a non-salvific gospel and an unrelatable Jesus.

Jws have been indoctrinated to believe that their 9 leaders in Warwick, NY are this alleged “slave”. Who indoctrinated them to believe this? Well, those 9 leaders in Warwick, NY of course. How better to control 8.5 million people and live as parasites off the financial donations of those 8.5 million than for them to appoint themselves into this role.
