This leads me to the conclusion that if I love God by loving my neighbor then I am doing all that is humanly possible and am pleasing to the Lord
Bravo Solace!!!

this is exactly why I always hated the JW's dissing good people simply because they weren't JW's!!

I can remember saying to my co one day out in service - that a lady we had met was so lovely...........she had fostered about 30 kids, did loads of charity work and good in the community and practically helped others, rather than preaching to them............

his reply was - that was all very well, but if she did not accept JW's as Gods true religion, she would perish along with all the other worldly people at Armageddon..........to 'be good' was not enough image

That always failed to ring true to me..........
