  hi simon,.

  firstly, thankyou for this great site and the community it supports.. i know it must be a huge job to keep the site active!.

  i noticed something today when i pasted a link to a past thread into a current topic.. it was one i started 8 months back called "eagerly awaiting the death of billions" (or something like that!).

  Do JWs believe they will be the only people saved at the "end"?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the answer posted on jw.org: "no.

  many millions who lived in centuries past and who weren’t jehovah’s witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation.

  additionally, many now living may yet begin to serve god, and they too will gain salvation.

  Jamex Mixon, let's start with the fact that a normal God would destroy Satan right after Adam and Eve's sin (not that they actually lived anyway...) Like... are we actually supposed to believe that God didn't destroy Satan because He was afraid (er... God is afraid...?) that His other subjects would rebel as well...?

  Right... Satan is destroyed because God is stronger. Adam and Eve die because Satan is wrong and God is right. Therefore, God's angels knowingly rebel because they know that God is right and is stronger and thus can destroy them within seconds.

  

  For now, I will leave the analogy of the rebellious student in a class alone... (You know which one... the student rebels against the teacher and stuff...)

  Is some Spanish organisation like the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse that is in Australia going to be investigating the Watchtower policies in Spain? (Note that I am not asking whether the ARC will be investigating the Spanish branch. I am asking whether some Spanish organisation that takes care of such policies in Spain will be investigating Watchtower. I hope I was understood...)

  Thanks in advance for any response.

  Watchtower publications, broadcasting, and letters sent to congregations are the media of communicating the new light. And the announcements on assemblies.

  I think?

  Just realized they changed maybe the most important scripture in the bible.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just read the scripture then went and checked in thier older bible and it read the same so i check the greek interlinear and yes they changed john 3:16 .

  the verse reads "all who believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life" the cult version says "exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".. so not only do they say one must exercise faith meaning having to work for it but also they changed should not perish but having everlasting life to might not be destroyed again making a caveat where one does not exist.

  just to add to the point verse 18 in both bibles says the one having faith is not judged, totally blowing up thier version of 16 but of course they change 18 to say exercising faith too but it makes little difference, since it says not judged.

  steve2 - It would be revealing to see what, if anything, the organization has specifically said about the rationale for its unique rendering.

  I assume they would just cite Paul's words—something to the effect of, "Faith without works is dead." They'd say that since Paul believed it, Jesus evidently must have believed that as well. It's not like they were evidently two separate persons, right?

  Right...

  Finkelstein - The leaders of this organization have always said they were the " only " true and correct preachers of the Gospel, faithfully loyal to God and guided by his holy spirit.

  Er... no...? Where did you get that from? Everyone knows that the organisation have always said they were evidently the only true and correct preachers of the "gospel," that they were evidently faithfully loyal to God, and also that they were evidently guided by his holy spirit.

  Sorry... I evidently couldn't resist.

  When did the governing body go from 12 to 7 members?

  i have been out and away from that cult since 2001. back then there were 12 members of the governing body, and now i'm learning that number has come down to 7. when did this change take place, and what was their reason for dropping the number?.

  The 7 killed the other 5 thinking that if the rank and file members saw a decrease in the number of the Governing Body members, they'd be convinced that...
