Phizzy, JW's are God fearing, law abiding, peaceable people and we, like Paul, encourage others to become as we are. (Gal 4:12)

For those who take their dedication and baptism as one of JW's seriously, there's a lot of good in this religion. It becomes a way of life, in more ways than one.

Captain, some quick answers:
charity=rice Christians
Baptists=unscriptural doctrines: trinity, burning hell, immortality of the soul. Can't be God's org.
I agree with most of your second paragraph.
...barely any recruitment: not unprecedented, Noah.
...children don't get baptized, 100,000 people leave: Satan is sifting the JW's like wheat as he did the apostles. He sifted Judas out. He will sift some JW's out too.

Just Kidding, you may be right. I don't know exactly when the 'door of the ark' will close. I only know that Jehovah will close it at just the right time.

Brainfloss, the Bible is absolutely the only inspired word of God.

Brainfloss, for the most part, yes. I believe that JW's have the best chance of surviving the GT, altho I don't believe they are the only ones who will survive.
Many have not had the chance to learn about Jehovah, for example, North Korea. I believe Jehovah will read their individual hearts and judge them accordingly.
I also believe that those who are not capable of serving Jehovah at this time, for example, people with Down's Syndrome, will also have their hearts read and be judged accordingly.
However, I believe those who had the chance to be JW's and refused probably won't survive.

Brainfloss, I saw this thread but was not motivated to answer you until you addressed me personally in the other thread.
1--yes. Unless Jehovah tells me otherwise (unlikely).
2--because I truly believe that JW's are the true Christians, warts and all.
Who else is teaching people about Jehovah?
Who else evangelizes to the extent that each and every JW does?
The worldwide preaching work is the touchstone of true Christianity. No one does it better than JW's.

PEER PRESSURE!!! I gave in to Pioneering during August...I feel dirty...
by stuckinarut2 inok, i'll admit it...i am weak.... as everyone knows, the pressure to "pioneer" during "the most momentous, awesome, amazing, centenary anniversay of jesus invisble kigdom rule, & distribute tracts about a dodgy website" campaign is very strong at the moment.... also, many will have read my threads about the extreme views and expectations in our cong for "all appointed men to pioneer" etc..... every elder and ms and their families have been announced as pioneering....i mean everyone's name was read out except mine..... i was not going to do it, as i do not believe anyone should be forced...(and of course its the last thing on earth i would rather do anyway since learning ttatt).
but i am not quite ready to make the break yet, so i realised that i would stand out more if i didnt put in a form to pioneer.
yes it would make me more conspicious, and make fading harder to do...it would bring more heat on me if i didnt pioneer.. so i gave in and submitted a form.... now, of course, i'm only going to make sure i'm seen at the key field service groups etc...but then go and do something more interesting...like count blades of grass..... ahh....i feel hypocritical to myself now......

Brainfloss, I believe that the Bible as understood by JW's is the Truth. I do believe that the GB are the group of men that Jehovah is using to gather His people.
