ok, seeing that you people could not, would not, cannot and will not produce a
Biblical text, ill do it for you,
(Acts 24:15) . . .and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves
also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the
unrighteous. . .
Who, though, are “the unrighteous” mention ...[text shortened]... no opportunity to learn about Jehovah will be
resurrected and given the opportunity to do so.

Is it that you don't personally agree with the statement from the Jehovah's Witness organisation but don't want to say so in public?

this is not a Biblical reference, its a quotation from a watchtower article, if you have a
Biblical reference, produce it, otherwise visit www,watchtower.org and have a pleasant
day, the watchtower is not considered to be inspired, the Bible is, which is a pity for
your arguments based on watchtower articles, neeeext!
I'm having a pleasant day thanks.

for him, but from a watchtower article is a reference to those who may or may not
survive Armageddon which is an entirely different perspective altogether, but neither
you nor he knew that despite the fact that its in the text. You noobs are best sticking to
scriptural references it will save you all kinds of embarrassing mistakes, misapplication
of articles, presumptions, straw men and lots of other horrible things waiting to come
up from the bottom of the sea and wreck your arguments. I say this for your own
good.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, etablished 1884, is not mentioned in the Bible. Was the organization wrong to assert that only members of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania would receive the "blessing of everlasting life" and that people who were not members would not? If this is so, why isn't the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania mentioned in the Bible? Has the organization overstated its specific corporate status in terms of the possibility of receiving the "blessing of everlasting life"?
