Lol. Is he really that slow? He can't see the answer even though you've answered at least twice here and he is still not able to understand it. Wow!!!!!
there are of course certain Biblical precedents,
Noah and the eight who were saved from the global flood,
the Isrealities who were in Egypt, only those who had the mark of blood upon their door posts, a prophetic drama concerning the lamb of God, Christ, evaded the angel of death,
and of course the angel who passes through figurative Jerusalem, marking on the forehead those for salvation,
(Ezekiel 9:3-7) And as regards the glory of the God of Israel, it was taken up from over the cherubs over which it happened to be to the threshold of the house, and he began calling out to the man that was clothed with the linen, at whose hips there was the secretary’s inkhorn. And Jehovah went on to say to him: “Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and you must put a mark on the foreheads of the men that are sighing and groaning over all the detestable things that are being done in the midst of it.” And to these [others] he said in my ears: “Pass through the city after him and strike. Let not your eye feel sorry, and do not feel any compassion. Old man, young man and virgin and little child and women YOU should kill off—to a ruination. But to any man upon whom there is the mark do not go near, and from my sanctuary YOU should start.” So they started with the old men that were before the house. And he said further to them: “Defile the house and fill the courtyards with the slain ones. Go forth!” And they went forth and struck in the city.

-Removed-Lol. Long before you ever did as I'm very aware of many things and with explinations that you don't.
So what is this obsession you have with our view of who might and might not see life in the future?
If I say yes with no chance of explaning what will that change in your mind? If I say no will that make you happy or something?
What exactly are you looking for?
Honestly they are not always aware of the statements and literature of their own organization and become very angry when you show them the truth from their own organization. I'm like I did not write that or make it up your organization did. I don't care though I don't want any part of their Paradise earth as it is just a lie anyway.....In the early days they rolled around in cars with loud speakers and yelled at Catholics (I'm not Catholic and that's a whole different issue) that is the way to be Christian right? Yes I read that JW's were attacked also and treated as subversives to the US Government but it shows the JW's were a militant group does not sound very Christian. In the early 40's it was ok for JW's to give blood and then because of a new doctrine they decided to change that of course it's not biblical and a misunderstanding of scripture. You ever eaten meat? If so you've eaten blood oh but it's cooked right? Food is not what defiles a man it is what is already in his heart that defiles.

-Removed-First of all the watchtower magazine is not considered inspired and it can change its perspective, secondly Galveston nor I are walking watchtower magazine encyclopaedias, thirdly you were given a plethora of scriptural references for you to consider and evaluate, all of which you dismissed, fourthly i stated that i thought it was the case, answering your question. Fifthly if you knew the answer anyway one wonders why you were making such an issue about it, noticed not only by us, but by others also, whom you treated with contempt and disdain, Grandpa Bobby, just by way of example.
It strikes me as completely hypocritical therefore for you to attempt to moralise over anyone, you have been caught in the past, citing articles from hate sites that you have not even read in an attempt to discredit Jehovahs witnesses before, i think that this latest attempt is another extension of that. As beetle pointed out, the answer was not a yes or no, but your insistence that it was demonstrates that you are uninterested in reason, an unreasonable man all you are interested in is vilifying Jehovahs Witnesses probably because your own faith is so empty and devoid, how else are to to explain it, for as far as i can discern, you contribute nothing good, or positive about anything, you seem simply content to infuse others with your own negativity.
