-Removed-All that I can say because of time restrictions during the day is if given the chance the next time a Witness stops by your house they would be very happy to spend the time needed to show you from your bible what God ask from us which really isn't much. But again only God reads hearts and decides who is practicing true worship to him. I believe in my heart the Witnesses are the ones that are following the Bible and what god wants from us.
I'll give you a link here to check out more on this if you'd like and I can send you more on this later by message.....

OK no. No religion can guaranty you one or the other ...As I answered it is God and him alone that decides on our future according to our heart.
Therefore nobody but JWs according to the article you quoted can get into the earthly paradise mentioned. Here is the final link http://www.watchtower.org/e/200803/article_03.htm
If you believe in something have the guts to say it instead of jerking everybody around.

The question is not whether membership with the Jehovah's Witnesses guarantees salvation; the question is whether membership is at least a minimal requirement. Do you acknowledge the possibility that a Catholic, Orthodox or other non-JW can be saved?

Originally posted by Rajk999I see. Well, then, how about 'reception into the earthly paradise"? Nonetheless, it is quite clear that he is being evasive here and has not answered either of your questions directly.

-Removed-Well yes and no. It depends on where one is in life and their what their circumstances are. But first it is true that God has dealt with only certain groups or certain nations of people in the past. It's not that he doesn't love mankind as a whole and knows the heart condition of us all. But because of certain things he wanted accomplished or had promised to ones, he dealt and protected them and let his spirit direct them, like the Isrealites for example.
So lets say that god has a special people or group or nation that he might be working thru now but there are many others in the world that are not part of that group because of where their at in the world, health reasons or whatever. The point is God sees them, loves them and will no doubt remember them when a time comes for judgement or resurrection. etc.
But the disadvantage of being alone is that the Bible also says he would have a "People for His Name". So this would indicate that he would still be dealing with a group that first recognizes his name and uses it, and that he would have a people or group or something of an organization. Acts 15:14
Also the Bible says at Prov 3:5 to "not lean upon your own understanding" which is refering to spiritual matters. So again if he is working with a group or religion, that is where you get instruction and knowledge from God himself.
