  HEREIAM60:

  I remember being out in service years ago and hearing more than once from some Witness I was with that some ‘worldly’ person’s nice house could be theirs after Armageddon.

  This never sat well with me even though I said nothing.. As for that phrase “they are having their Paradise now” or “having their reward in full”, I felt Witnesses were simply envious miserable idiots over anybody who looked like they had a little something.

  To my mind, many Witnesses were having their own reward in full now with their superiority complex and cliques.

  LHG, I agree with all those points. "some ‘worldly’ person’s nice house could be theirs after Armageddon." I would speak up respectfully. Of course, they avoided me and I was glad, I did not want to be in a "car group" with them. I would mention that none of us are guaranteed a place in "paradise," that we have to be faithful to the end, and our faithfulness is not determined by saying we are one of Jehovah's witnesses, spend time in preaching, and then do things in secret, thinking we are safe because the elders don't know what we are doing. Supposedly, we have learned that god sees all things and knows what we think, our heart condition" I was not part of the in group for sure.

  Very interesting. This 'new' understanding essentially nullifies the claim that you can only be saved if you are a JW.

  They use the account of the 10 plagues in Egypt to demonstrate how a pagan Egyptian (with no knowledge of even God's name) was saved by deciding to follow the Israelites at the exodus by virtue of the plagues alone.

  JW has apparently realized what all other Christian religions understood a very long time ago. "one faith" is not one religion.
