Do you say; "for instance, I can see where many Baptists will survive armageddon while many Witnesses die?
No, I keep my comments in that regard neutral to the idea of religions, all of which have varying degrees of human influence.
My point is, as you keep sidestepping it, is that you are teaching CONTRARY TO THE WTS and would be slapped down hard if you did this in private or from the platform.
Regarding salvation at Armageddon, your comment above is just dead bang wrong. Recently in speaking to an audience of elders I asked the question, "Do we believe that Jehovah’s Witnesses are the only ones that will gain salvation through Armageddon?" I asked for a one word answer, yes or no. The first to comment answered, "Yes." Afterward a quite lively discussion ensued where practically every other elder in attendance was correcting the one who initially answered. I stood back an just enjoyed the event. In the end it was agreed by all that heart condition is the thing judged not religious affiliation. It was also agreed that we do feel that as Jehovah’s Witnesses we are right about what is necessary to gain God’s approval with subsequent salvation but in reality God will look at the individual’s heart. So, in your contentions you are just plain ole dead bang wrong. You are also wrong about pretending to know what I teach publicly and what I don’t teach publicly.
Since you have used this thread only for purposes of hurling insulting accusations at me I will not do you the favor of continuing this discussion. Realizing that it makes you feel good, please feel free to continue your silly and derogatory accusations against me. Realize also that continuing to do so all by your lonesome will amount to little more than masturbation on your part.
