To Whom It May Concern:
In the Revelation of John 7:9-16 we read
After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.” And all the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength [be] to our God forever and ever. Amen.” And in response one of the elders said to me: “These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from?” So right away I said to him: “My lord, you are the one that knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are before the throne of God; and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple (NWT).

Here we see a numberless multitude (not 144,000) in heaven serving God. Obviously this multitude has received salvation. But how did they receive salvation? By washing their robes in the blood of the Lamb.
It is interesting to note that John received this revelation on the Lord’s day and on the Lord’s day early Christians met to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus in what is commonly called communion. It is through eating the Body and Blood of Jesus, truly not symbolically, that our robes are washed and we are made clean.

I all ways thought this was about the Martyrs.

All this gleeful chuckling and high-fiving shows you’ve completely missed the point.

Rather than trying to drive them away from Christ’s church with your “neener neener neerer” attitude (which is pretty puerile, by the way) your object should be to draw them into the Church of salvation.

Aren’t you glad Jesus didn’t give up on you so easily?

I’m curious how you would go about doing that?
 
double thumbs up on the letter 👍 👍

I didn’t find it uncharitable in the least, quite the opposite. Most charitable, most accurate. Just the most-est. Good job.

The OP did do that!
In light of these truths, I would like to encourage you to consider that the only Church, throughout 2,000 years of history, that has kept the words of Jesus faithfully and practiced all that He taught is the Roman Catholic Church. I know that many people have a preconceived notion of what the Catholic Church is, but much of what people believe about the Catholic Church isn’t Catholic at all.

It would be an awesome letter if your recipient doesn’t see it as evil literature and trashes it before it actually provokes an origional thought.

Try calling your local KH and ask for some address of JWs so you can visit them when you have time.

The website I quote has a message board that has an very Anti-Catholic website link in its advertsing space at the top. It is a site that talks about revelation 17. You sould remove it from your message boards.

The message board system that I use is a free one and the reason why it is free is because Google uses it to show off its advertisements. This means that I have absolutely no control over what advertisements show up on that board. (I wish I did.) Therefore, I put a disclaimer on the site so people know that our group does not endorse the views of any of those advertisers that show up on our discussion board. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

There are some very interesting replies here.

I once described to a JW what I was told the difference between heaven and hell. In heaven there is a great table with food of every kind on it and every one were very fat with eating.,

In hell there was a great table with food of every kind on it and every one was starving to death.

In BOTH heaven and hell, neither creature could bend their arms.

In hell no one could bend their arms to eat. In Heaven, the person at table fed the person sitting opposite.

Of course heaven and hell are not really like that but there is a moral in the story. I thought that was a rather pertinant illustration. It was lost on my visitors :confused:
