You may SURVIVE ARMAGEDDON into God’s New World
Does luck count because first you got to make it to the other sheep and then you got to make it to the great crowd that survives the great tribulation. If you die before the gt, you are not gc and you won’t make it alive to the new world ( This is where luck comes in ) Unfortunately we @ JW don’t believe in luck so you better follow closely to the slave and pray your flight doesn’t come on the Sabbath or winter. “ Perhaps you nay be concealed in the day of God’s fury” No guarantees though. Like you said, maybe.

Hi Smiddy!!
Doesn`t the Roman Catholic religion apply this to themselves ?
Anybody can make that claim but it actually applies to somebody, maybe JW and that is the is the point.
And at least they have been here for the past 2000 years .
That’s a good point smid. It stands to reason that since Jesus founded the Christian congregation back in the first century, where is the true church and the anointed throughout the centuries? The crusades, the inquisition, idolatrous christendom? As SBF explains JW interpretation of things: The parable of wheat and the weeds. Jesus foresaw the destiny of Christianity, oppressive wolves, apostasy would grow side by side with real christians until the harvest aka when Pastor Russel founded the JW movement. That’s the way things worked out with Christianity. Why? That’s the way it is. I suppose Satan had the power until 1914.

I saw that somebody compared the fact that some non-jews left with the jews during the Red Sea salvation. But The WTS compares this to an executional judgment, like the flood. Noah and his family did not receive this judgment, everyone who died IN the flood did according to the WTS. Those people were considered being executed by God during a "judgment period." The WTS has said many times in the past that only baptized jws will survive Armageddon (including their minor children who are not old enough to be accountable for their actions). The WTS is very crafty separating these statements and seeding them through many articles over the years. Check statements made by the WTS about what the mark is at Ezekiel 9:4-6 and who have it.

According to their literature, ONLY Jehovah's Witnesses and those associated with the Watchtower Organization can expect to survive the big A.
Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil." Watchtower 1989 Sep 1 p.19
"During the final period of the ancient world that perished in the Flood, Noah was a faithful preacher of righteousness. (2 Peter 2:5) In these last days of the present system of things, Jehovah's people are making known God's righteous standards and are declaring good news about the possibility of surviving into the new world. (2 Peter 3:9-13) Just as Noah and his God-fearing family were preserved in the ark, survival of individuals today depends on their faith and their loyal association with the earthly part of Jehovah's universal organization." Watchtower 2006 May 15 p.22 "Are You Prepared for Survival?"
"Similarly, Jehovah is using only one organization today to accomplish his will. To receive everlasting life in the earthly Paradise we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it." Watchtower 1983 Feb 15 p.12
"... to leave Jehovah's organization ... we would lose not only the privilege of doing God's will but also the hope of life in God's new world." Watchtower 2016 Jun study ed p.26
"But if we were to draw away from Jehovah's organization, there would be no place else to go for salvation and true joy." Watchtower 1993 Sep 15 p.22
"They must appreciate that identifying themselves with Jehovah's organization is essential to their salvation." Kingdom Ministry 1990 Nov p.1"At this stage of the affairs of man, it is absolutely impossible for anyone, professed Christian or otherwise, to stand independently of the one organisation that is bearing witness worldwide to Jehovah, his goodness and supremacy in accord with the 145th Psalm and, in fact, in accord with all the Scriptures." Yearbook 1982 p.259
