*** Watchtower 2001 February 15 p.14 Jehovah's Day of Judgment Is Near! ***
In fact, with God's day of judgment so near today, all the world should 'keep silent before the
Sovereign Lord Jehovah' and hear what he says through the "little flock" of Jesus' anointed
followers and their companions, his "other sheep." (Luke 12:32; John 10:16) Annihilation
awaits all who will not listen and who thereby set themselves against rule by God's
Kingdom.--Psalm 2:1, 2.

Do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?
No. Many millions who 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 God's time of judgment, and they
will gain salvation. Moreover, Jesus said that we
should not be judging one another. Humans look at the outward appearance;
God looks at the heart. He sees accurately and judges mercifully. God has
committed judgment into Jesus' hands, not ours. —Matthew 7:1-5;
John 5:22, 27.

*** You Can live Forever (1982, 1990) p.255 ***
Do not conclude that there are different roads,
or ways, that you can follow to gain life in God's new system. There is
only one. There was just one ark that survived the Flood, not a
number of boats. And there will be only one
organization — God's visible organization — that will survive the
fast-approaching "great tribulation." It is simply not true
that all religions lead to the same goal…
You must be part of Jehovah's organization, doing God's will,
in order to receive his blessing of everlasting life…

*** Watchtower 1981 December 1 p.27 The Path of the Righteous Does Keep Getting Brighter ***
Jehovah God has also provided his visible organization, his "faithful and discreet
slave," made up of spirit-anointed ones … Unless we are in touch with this
channel of communication that God is using, we will not progress
along the road to life, no matter how much Bible reading we do.
