We have some regular JW visitors. They are obviously commited to their faith. They are always very polite and sincere (and we agree on many things, such as pro-life issues). Perhaps they have been “brainwashed” but does that mean God will damn them to hell because they believe some wrong doctrine?
 
It depends why they believe it. Someone of good will who loves God above all things and seeks to humble himself and abandon his will to God’s way, truth, and life–but is innocently mistaken about these things–maybe saved. Only God can search hearts and decide who has faith in Him and who is choosing a different way (either by obstinance, pride, malice, negligence, conveneince, to be favored by men, etc., etc.)

We’re not Gnostics. Remember, when Christ was born the angels brought glad tidings to men of good will, not men of perfect knowledge. Good will seeks to unite itself with God’s will. That will is manifested in Christ, the Scriptures, and the faith and sacramental life of the Catholic Church and knowledge of it helps us to more faithfully seek it and be strengthened in grace.

It’s our job to exhort all men to place their faith in God rather than themselves, to repent and adhere with faith and love to Christ, the way, the truth, and the life as a member of His Body, the Catholic Church. The Church has had great missionaries to pagans , heretics and schismatics, and also to Catholics (Sts. Francis of Assisi and Anthony Mary Claret come to mind). We are always in need of constant conversion and greater and greater faithfulness to God’s will. But, we leave the judgment to the Just Judge.
 
I’ll never tell anyone that they are damned to hell. To be sure, any one person’s salvation is between God and themselves. We do not know their heart.

We need to share the Truth we hold with anyone we can find, it is not our responsibility to force them to believe it.

Hi

I agree with you. GodAllahParmesherYHWH is the Master of the Day of Judgement; and we should not judge them on His behalf. He will decide and judge; its solely his discretion. Nobody else can intervene.

JWs, Catholics, Protestants etc; all would be judged by Him.

Sincere, peaceful and truthful persons who have strived and searched for Truth would be rewarded suitably.

One thing is however very clear. Sins have no natural direct relationship with Jesus dieing or not dieing on Cross. Jesus did not die on Cross, in my opinion.JWs, Catholics, Protestants etc should therefore rectify their concept of sins and salvation; if they please.

Salvation is independent of that; I understand it from Christ/Krishna Second Coming 1835-1908 from Fountain of Christianity, a small book written by him:

I love Jesus and Mary as I love Buddha and Krishna

Thanks
