I must admit, as a JW for 6 years, I find it quite humorous how EVERY faith (including JW) are brainwashed into believing that their faith is the only correct one. There is little doubt your followers are as brainwashed as the rest! Isn't it amazing how there are literally hundreds of "the ONLY true religion" out there?

Some people use the fact that the word 'naos' is used to denote 'inner temple' in verse 15 to rule out any application to an unanointed, earthly group because 'naos' means the inner courtyard of the temple, where those with no priestly calling have no right to enter. The 'great crowd' offer their worship from the outer courtyard. There is a lot of information on the Internet from both sides of the argument. Hi,

But your argument seems nothing more than a play on words to make the reader think that somehow your language is evidence that you absolutely know what you are talking about. Please show us the Biblical explanation to what you just said. I’m sorry but it’s the normal double talk shell game. Explain…. Hi Frank, It’s great that you have studied “many” religions in depth.

However your facts are diluted by the personal interpretations of all of the actual facts. You misapply the scriptures you use as basis for your argument, but your premise is correct. The "faithful and discreet class" of 144,000 are seen by JW's as all people before 1942, including all religions which qualify under the rules of acceptance. The essence is that anyone born on or before 1942 can qualify for this class of people and report to heaven. To this day every year on nissan 14th of the jewish calendar a special right is reserved for anyone to stand and claim this right by taking of the sacraments that are provided. Nobody else may take of these sacraments. If an individual claims this right they are then pulled aside after the ceremonies and questioned thouroughly by the presiding elder(s) to establish qualifications. To date approx. 40% of this 144,000 are JW's and it would seem they recognize the other percentage as "other faiths" from times before. In a way this is some sort of the JW's version of sainthood, but including all religions and not actually limited to JW's.
