"Those who were" baptised??? should it be those who ARE baptised ??? Amazing how one lose their"baptise-ness" when they get disfellowshipped or become inactive! Try finding that scriptural backup!

JWism and their curious doctrine of salvation
by Laika inin christian theology there is often a lot of talk about whether we are saved by faith or works, and what exactly those things mean.
this thread is not exactly about that, instead it's about how jws, in their inimitable style, somehow managed to create a doctrine that mixes the worst of both and caused me no end of internal conflict as a jw.. in jw doctrine, life is about an argument between jehovah and satan.
satan said that nobody follows jehovah out of love, but only for what they can personally get out of it.

Laika
I understand where you are coming from. My understanding after doing "my own private research" is that once you have faith - its that faith that makes works happen. can't put the cart before the horse in this case- works is that "public declaration" that you have faith. Now with that being said- in JW thinking going to "the hall", "goin out in service" shows your "spirituality" and you earning your way to get "into the new system" as you are aware of.
We can't break new ground and tell the GB that gee- "the bible teach" that we CANNOT earn salvation (no matter how much "service" no matter how many "meetings"- that's why everlasting life its a GIFT !!

2014 DC: Fewer, but larger venues in the U.S.
by doinmypart inin the u.s. there are fewer venues this year, but they will be held in larger facilities.
as long as i can remember my family travelled no more than 2 hours to attend and in the last few years the dc was local (within a few minutes travel).
this year my family is driving 6 hours to a major u.s. city.
