I have seen none of your God figure's [i.e your organization's] representatives in my neighbourhood in the last 12 years. How will the "children of God" who live around me be "saved" according to your ideology?
Nobody says you have to believe the bible. God gave us free will to chose what we want to believe but we will answer for our choice.

Also, we don't know but that many will be saved through a resurrection after this system is ended.
We can be assured that any honest hearted person will have a chance for salvation.
(1 Timothy 2:3, 4) This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, 4 whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

Whatever doctrine makes you happy .. I say go for it.
Christ will judge us all.
(Matthew 7:21) “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.
All of this is clearly laid out for us in the Bible so we can gain (not earn) as a gift everlasting life.
Originally posted by roigamLet me ask you, then, how does your organization deal with the following verse, Isaiah 43:11? What do you think it is saying?
Since Jesus was a Jew, and the Apostles were Jews, according to Isaiah 43:10, they were all Jehovah's Witnesses.
"I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." -- Isaiah 43:11, KJV

Originally posted by roigamRoigam, that's just not true. The Catholic Church is not only all over the world, but has been in existence for over two thousand years. The Watchtower dates back only to the end of the nineteenth century.
So the point was made.
No one else is known to preach the Good News of God's Kigdom as extensively as JW s.
