ppp-p: I have never been a JW
I am saved, and that is a great feeling. I wish everyone had this assurance. Jesus' word is the same for everyone.

JW's will confess the Jesus Chist is "Lord" all day long. You don't have to wait for that day. What you will have to wait for is the shock those poor souls will receive when they come to realize what the Bible really means when it says that Jesus is "Lord".
It's interesting to note that in the Septuagint, (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible done by Hebrew scholars around 200bc), that wherever the tetragrammaton YHVH is found they have translated it as "κύριος" which is the Greek word for Lord.
KJV Exodus 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Septuagint Exo 6:3 καὶ ὤφθην πρὸς Αβρααμ καὶ Ισαακ καὶ Ιακωβ, θεὸς ὢν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου ***κύριος*** οὐκ ἐδήλωσα αὐτοῖς·
Philippians 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (κύριος), to the glory of God the Father.

Yes, they will.
However, for them, and for all other cultic and/or apostate Arians, as well, along with those who outrightly believed Him to be a "liar" or a "lunatic", or saw Him as "irrelevant", they will necessarily confess Him on both of their knees and bow before Him, just as Thomas did, saying "My Lord and my God." (John 20:28), and will regret and mourn over the fact that they didn't do so in this life time, rather than the extremely dishonorable posturing concerning Him that they do now, calling Him "a god" and/or the archangel Michael. Their judgement may be even greater than the others, since they said they actualy represented Who He was and is, and really didn't, just as the pharisees, causing many to be misled down along the wide road to eternal destruction.

"...one day..."?
For a century now, it would seem that Jehovah's Witnesses have actually proven quite unique in their public declaration of Christ's Kingdom.
Really, everyone who respects and obeys Jesus Christ already goes from door to door to teach his neighbors about the Bible's good news. It is interesting that only Jehovah's Witnesses are so clearly identified with the preaching work; globally more than 6 million preach publicly each month.
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.
(Acts 5:42) Every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.
(Acts 20:20) I did not hold back ...from teaching you publicly and from house to house
It's sad when someone who claims to respect the bible actually insults or even advocates attacking a peaceful preacher. Sad but completely expected.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
Really, if someone goes out of their way to disregard Christian preachers and preaching, what is he saying about himself?
(Luke 10:1-17) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos... “He that listens to you listens to me too. And he that disregards you disregards me too. Moreover, he that disregards me disregards also him that sent me forth.”

If you are so saved then why are you not telling us about your faith and letting us in on your salvation instead of spending every day just knocking down Jehovah's Witnesses?
So is targetting and knocking down another faith the key to salvation? So what makes you so saved in doing this?
Yeah, I know we will get your rhetorical answer of, I believe in Jesus Christ but are you just a sayer of the word but evidently not a doer?
(James 1:22) . . .However, become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning.
If you are such a Watchtower expert than you should of obviously read by now what every Watchtower magazine on page 2 states:
**** highlights the point
"THE PURPOSE OF THIS MAGAZINE, The Watchtower, is
**** to honor Jehovah God, The Supreme Ruler of the universe.****
Just as watchtowers of ancient times enabled a person to observe developements from afar, so this magazine shows us the significance of the world's events in the light of Bible prophecies. It comforts people with the news of God's Kingdom, which is a real government in heaven, will soon bring an end to all wickedness and transform the earth to a paradise.
**** It promotes faith in Jesus Christ, who died so we might gain everlasting life and who is now ruling as King of God's Kingdom. ****
This magazine has been published by Jehovah's Witnesses since 1879 and is nonpolitical. It adheres to the Bible as it's authority."
So it shows they have been confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father since day one.
I hope one day you will cease from your soul destroying ways and be peaceable to all. If you really are saved then lets hear what it is? Anyone can say, "I believe in Jesus Christ so I am saved" but...
(Matthew 7:21) . . .“Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. . .
Are you really doing the will of our Father? I can honestly say that no, your postings here are spiritually dead and no sugar coating of what you do will change that.

Jehovah's Witnesses do earnestly believe Jesus is Lord. And to the glory of God the Father, which is Jehovah.
They recognize well that it is Jesus, that has been placed on Jehovah's throne until all of Jehovah's enemies are under foot.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Jesus maybe a lord but he is no God .
Jesus prayed to God not spoke to himself.
Trinity is so dumb .
God resurrected Jesus , Jesus was dead .
I am not a JW but how can anybody with a brain believe that trinity garbage , Satan truly has blinded eyes , it makes no logical sense.

It means all tongues, the bible has never gave up a religion by name and pointed to that religion as his religion. Religion is man made but the bible teaches the truth. We have over 3,000 different religions all teaching a different doctrine, man made doctrines and Jesus is not confusing, he is very simple but man has made him out of a mixed up Deity that changes from religion to religion.

It's silly to say.
As time goes on, it is evident that less and less people are worshipping Jesus. Jesus, if he existed, is just another dead guy. People wrote a lot of made up stuff about him after he supposedly died that became popular. However, like all religions, Jesus will eventually be put in the history museums along with Zeus, Apollo, Baal, and the rest.

The JW's use different meanings for the Christian names and words we use. They are twisted... and they are a cult.
Stay with the source... read the Bible and use those beatiful brain cells God gave you. =)
