  How Do JWs Understand Salvation & What Is Needed to Obtain It?

  by LauraLynn in

  from my experience within the jw organization, i understood that salvation meant a person accepted the teachings of the wbts without question as the "faithful and discrete slave," thereby placing their trust in them, not jesus christ.

  salvation consisted of being found "righteous" by jehovah and resurrected to everlasting life in an earthly paradise.

  to obtain this salvation, one needed to obey the organization's teachings, remain a faithful jw, and lead a moral life.

  Just Curious: Do JWs Count Their Time Spent in Chat Forums "Witnessing?"

  hi, all--i was just wondering, since there is emphasis on counting your witnessing hours in the jws, if they indeed count their time here and in other chat forums?

  i happened to check the jws own chat forum, and it is closed to non-members.

  i thought that it was interesting that they are free to come here, but we are not free to go there to discuss the bible.

  How the JWs Handle a Member Visiting Another Church: What Is Your Experience?

  i grew up a jw but my parents were not regularly attending services at a kh.

  they used to, and were thoroughly indoctrinated though.

  as is the jws habit of visiting non-attenders, 2 sisters came to my mom and dad's door one day to inquire of our well-being.
