lately i have spent some time responding to various subjects on this forum.
at this time it seems a bit necessary that i address something about myself in the hopes that it will clear up some misunderstandings.
first of all, i am not a defender of the watch tower bible & tract society.
Thank you for your response Friend. I see that you believe there are (others) besides JWs spreading the good news of the Kingdom. I will assume that because you believe this, it is not necessary to be of the Jehovah's Witness faith to be approved by God or to be teaching what Jehovah accepts as truth.
I wonder if the (others) that are spreading this good news of the Kingdom believe the Jehovah's Witnesses good news is the same good news of the Kingdom as theirs?
the views expressed here are my own and i state them as such.
perhaps some will agree with me, for a certainty others will not.
i invite comment and discussion regardless of your viewpoint.
If anyone can read between the lines of Friends reply to Frenchy, Friend did it again.
Reword and and change a few words that Frenchy originally posted so as to make the meaning of what Frenchy said, mean something different.
I am at the conclusion that Friend is either pathologically sick, or paid by the WTBTS to confuse the issues at hand so as to continue with the fleecing of the ignorant.

waiting,
God is not going to kill you for not being a Jehovah's Witness. This is a teaching pushed by the WT as well as other religions that do not want you to leave their fold. The main thing is your personal relationship with God, not the WT.

Good post Frenchy. You are truly a thinking man that says things in a way as to not confuse the issue at hand with rhetoric.

Friend,
Thank you for your response, but you have failed once again to answer the questions posed.
I will once again ask just one question so as to make it easy for you.
When you spoke of (others) encouraging the spreading of the good news of the Kingdom, what (others) where you refering to besides Jehovah's Witnesses?
When you answer this question, I will pose the others asked. Please answer in a paragraph or less so your answer will not be confused with something off the topic of the question asked.
Thank You

7of9,
I meant that Friend has a way with words when I said Friend has a way with words.
OH NO, I am starting to sound like him.
Roamingfeline,
You passed the test for sincerity and accuracy. You may now go to the head of the class. I am not sure how to act with your response. There were no double meanings and hypothetical answers given.
I think I can go to bed now.
Roamingfeline,
Thank you for understanding what I am saying. I am not trying to disrupt ones faith, I am only trying to think beyond what I have been taught to believe in the last few years. I believe Jehovah gave us a brain to use, not for someone else to abuse.
Friend,
The question I posed was: Do we as individuals have to belong to the Jehovah's Witness faith to gain salvation?
You re-worded my question to say something different. You said: Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe that they are the only ones who will be saved?
You also qouted JWs in the 20th century again. This is the only qoute in WT literature that says no. What about all of the qoutes presented at the begenning of this topic that specifically say that there is nowhere else to go other than the WT organization for true joy and salvation.
Please just answer the question I posed yes or no
In answer to your questions.
1. Please reword the question. To me it has two meanings.
2. Jehovah has provided his word for us to examine and upon examination of his word and prayer Jehovah reveals to his followers the truth. As far as judgement being revealed to us as individuals, that is something we will have to wait and see. Unless of course you are a prophet.
