Only baptised JWs will make it?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA ini think it was a john cedars video or someone else’s where the point was brought up that only baptised jws will be saved?
then one talk about kids of baptised jws hope they will make it but even them don’t know.
most jws probably think that some good people who are not baptised may make it through, but this is not official teaching?.

Korah, Dathan, Abiram, Ananias and Sapphira?????
My reply to JW's: They were all dealing with persons who had displayed God-given powers. Setting up a printing business and real estate empire doesn't prove divine selection!

Rainbow 🌈 Law Makers will turn on Religion NOT the UN
by JohnTron7 init should be starting to become more clear to people what i've stated for years on this site.
the threat against religion that becomes pivotal will come from lgbtq politicians forcing through " hate crime" bills aimed at religions.
in the past i have had a " maybe" statement from only one commenter.

@ vidquin - "I do it my way and you do it your way. You can believe what you like and interpret the Scriptures in any way. Let me not stand in your way. As long as you are happy with what you believe."
Best response I've seen in a long time. Totally agree!

(Matthew 4:4) ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the G.B.'s mouth.’”
(Matthew 4:19) And the G.B. said to them: “Come after us, and we will make you recruiters of men.”
(Matthew 6:9) “‘Our G.B. in Warwick, let your name be sanctified. Let your real estate empire come."
(Matthew 6:24) You cannot slave for the G.B. and for Riches.
(Matthew 6:33) “Keep on, then, seeking first the G.B. and their righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you."
(Matthew 7:21) “Not everyone saying to the G.B., ‘Slave, slave,’ will enter into the organization, but only the one doing the will of the G.B. who is in Warwick will. Many will say to them in that day: ‘Slave, slave, did we not prophesy in the G.B.'s name and expel demons in the G.B.'s name, and perform many powerful works in the G.B.'s name?’
(Matthew 10:37) Whoever has greater affection for father or mother than for the G.B. is not worthy of the G.B. and whoever has greater affection for son or daughter than for the G.B.is not worthy of the G.B.
(John 4:22) You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the G.B..
(John 8:31) “If you remain in the G.B.'s word, you are really the G.B.'s disciples,...
(John 12:36) While you have the G.B., exercise faith in the G.B., so that you may become sons of the G.B.”
(John 13:35) By this all will know that you are JW's - if you have love for the G.B.
(John 14:6) “The G.B. is the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through the G.B.

@ Fisherman - "That is why it is taking so long. God is waiting for everybody to repent."
How does that work? The world's population increases yearly, and it appears less people are turning to Christianity?
@ vidquin - You references -
YOU who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones.
Thrones - (Gr. thronos) judges i.e. tribunal or bench. (Jesus said they would judge)
a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
Being priests of the King/High priest would make them a royal priesthood. (not kings themselves)
and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth. (Rev. 5:10)
Rev. 20:6 - "...but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years."
In these last 2 scriptures which you quote, the Greek word βασιλεύς (basileús) does not exclusively mean 'king.' It also describes a leader of the people, prince, commander, lord of the land.
In the original Greek (ignore Bible translations!) Revelation 5:10 says, "and they are to reign upon the earth," not 'over' it, as if they are in some sort of ethereal situation. The meek inherit the earth!
In what capacity? Psalm 45:16 - "...princes in all the earth."
Interestingly, regarding Revelation 20:6, no Bible translation - except the NWT - inserts the word 'king'
All of them - without exception - translate the Greek word βασιλεύς (basileús) as 'reign,' not 'king.'
Bottom line: What justification would any Christian have to claim a share of Christ's kingship & glory?

aqwsed12345 - "Satan lost his power with Jesus' redemption, and through grace Christians truly became "kings and priests."
Where did you get the phrase "kings and priests" from? There's only one king.
Certainly not from a Greek concordance. How many kings are needed at any one time?
The NWT plagiarised the false term, because it suited their dogma.

JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inmy grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.
he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.
he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.

(Proverbs 13:12) Expectation postponed makes the heart sick...
Who was it exactly who drilled the expectation of "the end" into our lives & minds?
Oh right - it was Jesus!
(Matthew 24:36) “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.
(Acts 1:7) “It does not belong to you (the "anointed") to know the times or seasons that the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction.

@ Vienne & Slim - I know the cult doesn't teach that the 1000 year reign began in 1914 - my point.
They can't have it it both ways: "Christ began ruling in 1914, but he didn't start reigning then." 😂😂😂
The org always wants to speak out of both sides of its mouth.
Spoiler alert for JW's: Christ's reign began in 33 C.E. when he became priest/king at his ascension. (Hebrews 6:20 - "Jesus, who has become a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.")
The "1000 years" referred to at Revelation 20:4,6 are the final years of Christ's reign when believers/Christians will eventually "reign" - upon the earth, - βασιλεύω - to reign, of the governor of a province, of the reign of Christians in the millennium. (see Psalm 45:16 & Rev. 5:10 K.I.T.)
After the 1000 years unbelievers will be resurrected - as stated at Revelation 20:5 - and not as the org perversely claims, during the 1,000-year reign.
These are the ones who will be tested, not the believers who "reigned" for 1000 years in peace.

Therefore, we are now 109 years into the millennium, with only another 891 years left to go.
Why didn't anyone tell me that I'd missed these two major events? -
(Revelation 20:2) He seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000 years.
(Revelation 20:4) And they came to life (resurrected) and ruled as kings with the Christ for 1,000 years.Spoiler: w82 4/1 p. 24 par. 14 - "Since all “the rest of the dead” that are resurrected during* Christ’s 1,000-year reign...."
* Revelation 20:5 - "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were ended."
