The Watchtower, “Remaining Organized for Survival Into the Millennium”

1 September 1989 · pp.18-22 · par. 7 (p. 19) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the “great crowd,” as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil.”

Survival tied to being organised with the remnant as 'one flock'.
