Lack of accurate knowledge....

@divegeester said
If asked them:

“Is it possible for someone who doesn’t want to join the Jehovah’s Witnesses but follows Jesus Christ to have access to what you term “Accurate Truth”?

Would they dodge the question like you, or would they be unequivocal?

You're pretty slow there old friend. You don't seem to catch on that I have no desire to discuss anything with you. And that is your own fault....

It’s no problem I enjoy asking the question because I know it goes right to the heart of your cultish belief structure.

It’s the same principle in play when I ask you:

“Is is possible for a person to enter the next life with Jehovah if they are not a member of the Jehovah’s Witness religious organisation? “

You won’t answer that one either, and for the same reason.
If you say no it reveals your cultish mindset and if you say yes then it begs the question, why join then!

Every time you come back to the forum...you are always happy to discuss anything with me UNTIL I start asking these questions; then I get posts from you like this one I’m replying to.
Funny that...

Putting ones hopes or concerns or anything of any sort into the hands of a piece of stone or wood or even gold for any reason is a slap on Jehovah's face.

I don't think I have ever met anyone who worships "a piece of stone or wood or even gold". Have you?

@galveston75 said
Those so called wise ones are not who he deals with because of their mighty attitudes that most have. Jehovah cares nothing for that.

This is the reason your organization gave you for them not using experts in Biblical languages to translate the Bible?

Because of the "mighty attitudes" of linguists?

That's what the JW organization told you about why they picked non-experts for the translation of the cusromized JW version of the Bible?

I've answered that pretty clearly I thought. If you don't understand that then read your bible more starting with the 10 commandments will get you going on that search.

Sorry buddy. You bring up this same issue and I've answered it long before you are repeating it here again.
The clear and juvenile point with you is I know you've seen my answers. But you can't act like anyone with any biblical insight or just plan common sense of how to act on this forum.

Sorry you don't get it.....You didn't learn much about the bible while you did your time with the Catholics did you?

I’ve seen and read carefully every reply you have made Galveston75 and you have NEVER, not even once, been unequivocal and given a straight answer.

The answer to my question above is either - “yes it is possible”, or “no it isn’t possible”. You may give whatever explanation you like. But you will not, you cannot give a straight answer and you know it.

If you can then give one now...

Galveston75... “Is it possible for a person to enter the next life with Jehovah if they are not a member of the Jehovah’s Witness religious organisation?”

It is neither and you don't get that now as you never have in the past.
If you have an article from the Watchtower Society that says yes or no, that is Jehovah's decision, not mine. If it says no, then it's no. If it's yes then it's yes.
I wish all humans would learn about Jehovah and adjust their beliefs that he approves. I hope you do too. But this is completely up to him and his son. Not me.
So try to use your brain and think about this for awhile because I will not speak to you again like I have many times in the past on this....................

If you know anyone who worships "a piece of stone or wood or even gold", ask them to join this forum. It would be interesting to hear them talk about it.

So, according to you, followers of Jesus should not seek higher education or become experts or specialists or anything like that? The JWs were right to commission non-experts in Biblical languages to come up with a doctored version of the Bible [e.g. it's ideologically driven insertion of the word "Jehovah", as we have discussed before] because suitably qualified linguists would have had "mighty attitudes", is that what your organization has told you to say?

So the answer to this critical question

Is it possible for a person to enter the next life with Jehovah if they are not a member of the Jehovah’s Witness religious organisation?

...is neither “yes” nor “no”?

But it’s not a dodge either?
Wonderful stuff Galveston75!

I did, as a matter of fact. I also learned much from people who were ~ within the Catholic tradition and as followers of Jesus ~ living Christian lives and walking the walk that their faith demanded of them.

When you turn up here for one of your sporadic huffy visits to promote what you see as some of the unique selling points [doctrinally speaking] of your non-profit corporate organization and to say mean-spirited things about Christians who are not JWs, do you give any glimpse of you living a Christian life and walking the walk that your faith demands of you?

My faith in Jesus caused me to feel I had a relationship with God. It's surely pretty much the same for you, right?

No.

"Faith" in what God has said is what causes one to experience spiritual regeneration, which is essential for a relationship with God to exist.

How one "feels" about that relationship is secondary, and another matter altogether.

Religious experience is the adding to or subtracting from the object of faith, which is, in Christianity, Christ crucified and His subsequent resurrection from the dead.

For the legalistic Christian it's Jesus plus the observance of the law in the form of ritual and tradition. For the deceived it's Jesus minus obedience to the Spirit of truth.

Everybody's perspectives and arguments here are based on human reasoning.

That's your opinion because you disbelieve the authenticity and authority of God's Word.
