I heard this recentley on Radio KTAR's "God Show" talking with J.R. Brown; Director of
Public Relations with the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society listened to at www.dirtclod.com .
(Interviewer) Pat McMan: Is yours the only path to salvation?
J.R. Brown: “Well, when you put it that way, you’re trying to say well, ‘are you
saying that unless someone does exactly as you do and as you say as Jehovah’s
Witnesses they won’t get life’, and our answer to that is no because God is the
judge as to who gets life.
Some persons live and die without an opportunity to hear what we are talking about.
There are places we cannot even go and do evangelising work now. We feel we
have a message of truth, if people listen to it, respond, that can put them on the way
to life, if God judges them as such, but we are not the judges of others.
When you look at Mathew chapter 25 Jesus made it very clear that he is the one
who would divide the sheep from the goats. He said he is the one that would put
the sheep on his favourable side, the right, the goats on his left. He makes the
decision if anyone is worthy of destruction, not us. It’s not our responsibility
to pass judgement.”
Pat McMan: Can a woman be a faithful member of the Jehovah's
Witnesses religion and choose not to be married, not to have a
f amily but to be an attorney or a poet or a surgeon?
J.R. Brown: “Yes, (yes) we have many in that category. Many of the women in our
organisation are professionals in everyday life. We don’t prodabate those decisions
for people. They can decide it. Where we come into the picture is what the bible says
should exist in the congregational setting. That we have many women who have pursued
careers, professions, ???????. There they may be the supervisor or whoever owns the
company or the bosses, someone might say, but that’s not in the Congregational setting.”
Straight from the horses mouth. It doesn’t make any sense to say if they taught what they
taught. I think most JW's are just confused and that's why they feel the need to follow
the organisations every word because of the consequences they believe in if they don't.
What a millstone! Pitty they feel they have to justify the out right lies much like I did when I
was 'in it'.
