Hello Blondie ,
As usual great stuff, great comments and very fitting.
Allow me to add my opinion.
1) Have the over 1 billion each in India and China had such an opportunity? What about the millions in Muslim countries where evangelizing is proscribed with the sentence of death. Have these ones received the Kingdom message? No, then they are doomed. No paradise with everlasting life for them. Only a straight shot to Gehenna at Armageddon.
A real difficult point to debate with anyone!
2)
Total I found over 50 commentaries quoted in the WTS publications. Now if the
"very knowledge of God" is not to be found, why use them as credible resources
to back their statements?
An excellent exemple of turning the table!
3)
We do have an accurate understand of such matters. Why?
Jehovah has blessed us with insight into spiritual truth that escapes
many "wise and intellectual ones."
Considering what they wrote in the past and even todayhow on earth
Can they make such a claim:
Jehovah has blessed us with insight into spiritual truth

Questions from Readers
In his illustration of the sheep and the goats Jesus indicated that a separating work would be done "when the Son
of man arrives in his glory," and that persons would be classed as either "sheep" or "goats." (Matt. 25:31-46) In part, the basis for the separation would be the reaction of people to the preaching of the good news of the established kingdom. That preaching work is now being done by Jehovahs witnesses. Jesus explained that those on earth who favorably responded to that message and treated kindly its bearers would be classed as "sheep" and would enter into "everlasting life."
Well since all this kind of
blessing with insight into spiritual truth coming from
Jehovah (!!!) was nullified/modified/eliminated in 1995, I do believe that also the rest
of the same article ,planned and written the WTBS Inc. is also without value.
