Do I have to be a member of the Jehovah Witness organisation in order escape the great tribulation and have any chance of an afterlife?

yes, you are doomed otherwise. Next question.
to the reader, please note, his interpretation of what the afterlife means is ambiguous, we believe that people will survive the great tribulation and continue living through it, not that they will die. The term after life is therefore misleading and inappropriate.

you don't need to sign anywhere, you need to bring your life into harmony with Biblical standards. The Bible states at Joel chapter 2:32, those that are evangelising are the ones that will be saved.

its not a back peddle, your use of the term afterlife betrays that you have no idea what we believe with regard to those who will survive the great tribulation, in order to have an afterlife, you need to die, that's what the term means. we do not believe that we shall die but continue living through the great tribulation. The question is therefore somewhat clumsy in its conception.

According to the Bible those that are evangelising are the ones that will be saved, that is evidently Jehovahs witnesses, so based upon the evidence, yes.

You quoted the term saved from Joel in your post above!
I'm asking you a straight question which you have committed to answer in your post further above.
Do I have to be a member of the JW organisation in order to be saved or not? As you don't know what it refers to let's assume it mean gaining life after death.

Originally posted by divegeester Where is the "hatred" here, which you always claim is prevalent when your beliefs are challenged?
And once again to slip into the vanity, pride and self delusion of translating the "hate" (which is not there), into your internalised self affirmation that you (JWs) are the chosen ones.
