A belief of the Jehovah Witnesses?

Post #1

Post by polonius »

Garbe, Detlef (2008). Between Resistance and Martyrdom: Jehovah's Witnesses in the Third Reich. University of Wisconsin Press. pp. 37, 38. ISBN 0-299-20794-3.

" In their opinion, only people who have accepted Jehovah and subsequently submit to his requirements will survive Armageddon and enter into the New World ... Jehovah's Witnesses also believe that a person confessing to worship God has to be associated with the true Christian denomination. Since they claim to be the only true religious denomination, they also claim to have the only means for salvation."

Is this a belief that all Jehovah Witnesses hold?

If you direct your post to Jehovah's Witnesses, I or one of my JWs brothers or sisters will try and respond.

While I appreciate what you have said, this doesn’t address the heart of the question. This only addresses those living in the past.

For those living today, do most Jehovah’s Witnesses hold that only Jehovah’s Witnesses are saved?

(Feel free to give the official position of Jehovah’s Witnesses or, if there is none, your own view. I don’t expect you to respond for every Jehovah’s Witness in the world.)
My understanding is that, since many people will not have been approached with the good news of God's Kingdom when the end comes, there will be a considerable amount of people who will be allowed into the new system of things who are not Jehovah's Witnesses. Included in these would, of course, be mentally challenged people who can't make up their minds one way or the other. People who have not been given considerable time to make up their minds about the Kingdom will surely be given instruction and time within the time frame of the Millennial Reign. There will be a very great teaching work during the Thousand-Year Reign of Christ. Many of these will be people who are still alive when the Great Tribulation starts, who will join those who will be resurrected from the past.
