road to nowhere, in 1John 3:17 we are told
" if anyone has material possessions and seed a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them , how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children let us not love with words or speech but with actions and with truth "
In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus makes it clear that our neighbour is not just someone who goes to our church or believes the same as us but anyone in need. That is why churches do charitable work , not because salvation depends on it . I have posted this on another thread to make this point but l think that it bears posting again .

Thomas are you going to finish the conversations that you've already started.? Or are you just a troll ?
Let's turn that round - why not ?

i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.
that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!
maybe some of you will come to their senses!.
I always thought that an atheist was someone who says God doesn't exist and an agnostic is some who is not sure.

In Corinth the problem seems to be with the congregation members and a few trying to spread false teaching and hijack the congregation. They had been and were getting good teaching from Paul and the others who were basically running the whole show.
In the case of the WT the false teaching and prophesies ( 1975 for one ) are coming from the top . IMHO .

a balanced view of jesus’ role.
like those in christendom, the early bible students mistakenly allowed their love for jesus to overshadow their relationship with jehovah.
beginning in 1919, however, they came to see that jehovah and their relationship with him should be the focus of their worship.
So back to Doubting Thomas's salvation by works then . This is a theme in the WT- having to prove yourself worthy . Of course it serves to make JWs fully compliant with everything that they are told.
