Salvation from/by your god can be had being a 'doer of the law" (Romans 2:6,13), by following the commandments (Matthew 19:17-19, and Revelation 22:14), Loving the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10), not judging others (Matthew 7:1, Luke 6:37), having lots of kids (1 Timothy 2:14-15), or to become an Isreali (Romans 11:26). Try reading your bible, James. I know that JW's would rather not, but if you are going to profess a cult you ough to a leats know what the cult says.
