You are a body of The Christ, its very simple, black and white! You are the body of Christ. I guess that Jesus said you all are brothers so we can say were not?

The actual "Body of Christ" are those who do go to heaven for the purpose of being kings and priests with Jesus in ruling his Kingdom.
I don't particularly want to rule anyone. I happen to like earth especially when it is clean. I can trust these rulers as they all have experience on earth, know what we go through, and have the smarts to do what is beneficial for all.
I will be happy to finally let my curiosity have free reign. I had to clamp it down far to long. With time and perfect health, I could satisfy my tremendous curiosity about everything!
"Little flock" or "other sheep" we are still sheep under the one master shepherd, Jesus. Still is the best neighborhood to be in.
Since Jehovah and Jesus would be in agreement on choosing who is a part of that "body", if I were chosen, I would obey, but I am not looking for it.

No.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not tell anyone that he cannot be a member of "the body of Christ". In fact, thousands among Jehovah's Witnesses openly demonstrate that hope each year.

Don't Know Much about the JW's.
But, Once you Accept Jesus as Your Saviour and your Spirit is Recreated---you ARE a Child of GOD and become Part of The "Body of Chirst" on the Earth--and Jesus IS The Head of That Body.

Paul is speaking to the annointed Christian congregation in that verse. Those who are the body of Christ make up the 144,000 spiritual "Jews" (Revelation 14:1-3). Christ has "other sheep" who will not serve as kings in heaven. (John 10:16) What would be the point of ruling as a king over the earth if there were no righteous people living on it? -Revelation 5:9, 10; Psalm 37:9-11, 29
Perhaps you didn't notice that the book of Corinthians was primarily written to those "called to be holy ones". (1 Corinthians 1:2) The "holy ones" are described in the book of Daniel as being given ruling positions in the Kingdom of heaven. (Daniel 7:27) Obviously, then, not every person believing in Christ will rule as a king in heaven. Jesus said that "the meek will inherit the earth". (Matthew 5:5)

why do you have a grudge against the JW's almost all of your questions are against them i looked and you are out to spread lies about them just because you left that faith.and that makes you a not so good so called good born again.lay off of them it's childish,you can hate them for your own reasons but turning others,or trying to turn others against him is sooo wrong and you will become accountable.

Christians will never accept Jehovah's witnesses cus they believe that Jesus Christ was a man & not more . they will be good believers if they believe that no body can raise the sin of this world , the god only who able to forgive the sin
[ King James ]-[ Chr2:7:14 ]-[ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ]
[ King James ]-[ Mt:9:13 ]-[ But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. ]

One more foolish ramification of believing in a two tiered kingdom, when the Bible clearly says otherwise. Look at all the interpretation jockeying the Rusellites have to do in order to explain their beliefs? Doesn't that tell you that the auithor of confusion is quite busy and effective?
