Do I HAVE to be a member of the Jehovah's organisation in order to obtain eternal life?

I've been asking you this question for 4 years and not got a straight answer yet, but I live in hope.

lets look at how you have changed the questions,

here is your first question,

Do I have to be a member of the Jehovah Witness organisation in order escape the great tribulation (your words)

your second question, different from the first, note the different words,

Do I HAVE to be a member of the Jehovah's organisation in order to obtain eternal life? (your words)

please note that surviving the great tribulation and gaining eternal life are not one and the same thing, so i will ask you once again, which question is it you are asking. You don't seem to know.

Four years what a waste of time.

He said those that go out and preach so even if you're a member but don't go out and evangelize you won't be saved

that is why we believe that you will probably be saved, no one can say for certain who will and who will not.

I'm not interested in the preaching. I'm interested in what membership gets me, or more to the point, what non-membership prevents me from obtaining.

I know he could have paid a pastor and spared me the trouble.

sigh, go and ask your pastor what the term, calling upon the name of God literally means, if he is educated, he will tell you that it literally means, those who are evangelising.

Calling on the name of the Lord has nothing to do with Evangelizing. And it's calling on Jesus not Jehovah.

I see, you don't seem to understand the term evangelising, Paul states that those who engage in it, are saving both themselves and those who listen to them. Coming with the idea of simply taking, in it for what you can get out of it, i don't think it looks very good for you. why not try to join the girl guides instead, you can make badges and cakes.

Jesus stated that you receive freely therefore you should give freely, why do you hate Jesus to ignore this command? You have made the house of God a cave of robbers.
