  wannabefree Of course, there is nothing that is "acceptable to God" save those who have been redeemed by the blood of His Son.

  Isaiah 64:6 (New International Version)

  6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,
  and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
  we all shrivel up like a leaf,
  and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

  The whole phrase "acceptable to God" is WT speak. Their false gospel is salvation through works, making oneself acceptable, cleaning up one's act. A leopard can't change its spots and neither can pigs keep themselves clean.

  Galatians 6:15 (New International Version)

  15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.

  John 3:6 (New International Version)

  6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

  Romans 8:9 (English Standard Version)

  9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

  So ask the Spirit what to do. Live according to Him and His desires. He will show you the way forward :)

  Blessings,

  Stephen

  Quoted from: Do All Good People Go to Heaven? JW teachings

  However, Jesus will not rule alone. Hence, he promised his apostles a place in heaven. They were the first ones chosen to “rule as kings over the earth.”—Revelation 5:10. End quote.

  Revelation 5:10 (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

  and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”

  None of Jehovah's Witness is priesthood holder even from C.T. Russell up to this moment.

  Now how they could claim that the 144,000 chosen ones some of them were from JWs?

  Heb. 3:1 (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

  Consequently, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest whom we confess—Jesus.

  Revelation 1:6 (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

  and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.

  Acts 6:7 (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

  Consequently the word of God went on growing, and the number of the disciples kept multiplying in Jerusalem very much; and a great crowd of priests began to be obedient to the faith.

  Exodus 19:6-7 (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

  6 And YOU yourselves will become to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to say to the sons of Israel.”

  7 So Moses came and called the older men of the people and set before them all these words that Jehovah had commanded him.

  1 Peter 2:9 (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

  But YOU are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that YOU should declare abroad the excellencies” of the one that called YOU out of darkness into his wonderful light.

  So Jehovah's Witnesses organized by C.T. Russell doesn't have priesthood how do they claim now as TRUE Jehovah's Witnesses?
