Do you believe everyone should become Jehovah's Witnesses if they want to be true followers of God? Or do you believe that other religions might lead to the same God?

Yes, and Jehovah may destroy you if you do not convert.
Or, you may die, and he may resurrect you for a 1000 years, and if you then don't convert, you die.
or, you could ponder this your whole life, and just wish you were dead after you have judged everyone else out of existence.

Before you answer that question, you would have to wonder why they are the only religion that uses God's name. I did see that God's name was Jehovah in the King James Bible twenty years ago. Now they have removed it from there too. How can a religion claim to belong to God if they won't even use his name? The lord's prayer says hallowed by your name so it's very clear there that God has a name but the other religions won't use it. So according to the other religions everyone in the Bible has a name but God. Makes a lot of sense. Now, I can tell you that the Jehovah's Witnesses are wrong about a couple of minor things but the other religions are wrong about the most important things like the trinity, hellfire.

Jesus said there was a way, not ways, so as far as organized I would say yes. Although there are sincere people I'm sure in other religions, they need to get out of Babylon the Great if they don't want to share in her plagues. They have removed the name of God from most bibles, so how can they lead to the same God? Some time in the future, everyone will be JWs.

Some persons object to the purity of law and the manner in which the Bible upholds righteous principles, while they desire to gratify their lusts of the flesh and greed for money, power, pleasures and immorality. Instead of doing what is right, they set the Bible aside and follow their own ideas and philosophy of life. Others find that the Bible points out too vividly that the requirement to do God’s will includes associating with ministers who are energetically engaged in the preaching of the Gospel. This is too much of an imposition on their time, and so they prefer to take the course of least resistance and the one of conformity with social practices of “this world.” Faith is not a quality that is. the possession of all people, nor is it the desire of many.—2 Thess. 3:2.
It should be understood that not a majority will accept the Bible and follow in the footsteps of Christ Jesus the Son of God, doing so faithfully and out of the love in their heart and rendering sacred service to Almighty God, manifesting love for their neighbors. It is true that only a minority will accept the righteous decrees as set forth in God’s Word the Bible and follow them. This is shown in Jesus’ own words when he said: “Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.” It does not mean that the road is unavailable, but that most people are not looking for it. In making a contrast to this pattern, Jesus also said: “Broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it.” This constitutes following the road of least resistance, following in conformity with nationalism and filling one’s time and life with other things, wasting one’s time and effort.—Matt. 7:14, 13.

Do the Witnesses believe that their religion is the only right one?
Anyone who is serious about his religion should think that it is the right one. Otherwise, why would he or she be involved in it? Christians are admonished: "Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine." (1 Thessalonians 5:21) A person should make sure that his beliefs can be supported by the Scriptures, for there is only one true faith. Ephesians 4:5 confirms this, mentioning "one Lord, one faith, one baptism." Jesus did not agree with the modern, relaxed view that there are many roads, many religions, all leading to salvation. Instead, he said: "Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it." Jehovah's Witnesses believe that they have found it. Otherwise, they would look for another religion.—Matthew 7:14.
Do they believe that they are the only ones who will be saved?
No. Millions that have lived in centuries past and who were not Jehovah's Witnesses will come back in a resurrection and have an opportunity for life. Many now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before the "great tribulation," and they will gain salvation. Moreover, Jesus said that we should not be judging one another. We look at the outward appearance; God looks at the heart. He sees accurately and judges mercifully. He has committed judgment into Jesus' hands, not ours.—Matthew 7:1-5; 24:21; 25:31.

a million) Trinitarians believe you're able to worship the trinity guy-god with the intention to be saved subsequently they're the actual church of God. all of us else would be tortured in hell perpetually. 2) Jesus is our king and intense priest. in accordance to Russell, he believed he might rule in heaven with Jesus. 3) we don't reject the divinity of Jesus. We reject the fake coaching that Jesus is Jehovah interior the flesh. Jesus mentioned that the father develop into his very own God. Jesus is the comparable substance of Jehovah, meaning that he's a spirit guy or woman.

Yes, I sincerely believe that I have found the truth. I left false religion behind and hope that others will do the same.
We desire all people to come to an accurate knowledge of God's Word and dedicate themselves to do his will.
