Nope, sorry sweetie, but we ALL go to hell when we die, because... simply put? Hell is the common grave of all mankind. Whether we are buried in a lovely mahogany box, creamated and scattered over the ocean waves or die in a horrible avalanche and our bodies are never found, we all go to 'hell' when we die.
The Bible is often accused of teaching people that they are going to either go to Heaven and strum golden harps while bouncing on clouds in diaphanous clothing and sparkly sandals.... or they will suffer the consequences of the damned and go to a dark, cavernous hell where they will be roasted alive while Satan and his demon hordes poke them with pitchforks for all of eternity to atone for sin they committed while on the earth.
Ha! The Bible does not promote either of these ridiculous theories.
Very few will go to Heaven, few went in Bible times -- Elijah and Jesus Christ, the Apostles-- and only a specific number have been chosen to go since then.( Rev. 14:3 Go ahead and look, it is in your Bibles as well. )
Now, for those who do NOT go to "Heaven" there is another promise. That of a new earth. That doesn't mean a new planet will be made for them, but rather that this one will be cleansed and made ' anew'. It will become the paradise earth that originally was intended to be when God made Adam and Eve. One thing God cannot do is tell a lie, and so when he promised that the Earth would become a paradise, his promise WILL come true. It has just been delayed a bit. For those who don't have the joy of going to heaven and serving with Jesus there, we have the earthly hope of remaining here and helping to restore the earth and of living forever upon it. Our joy is increased when we also know that Satan and his horrible influence will no longer be felt here on earth and so we will be able to live in a world without crime, violence, pain, sickness, death, hatred or any of the other hateful things that Satan has brought to mankind!
So, refraining from deliberate sin won't save you from 'hell' but it will help keep you in better standing spiritually. There are other things that you can do to gain further favor with Jehovah God. If you 'd like to know more about this, please feel free to email me or to contact any of the Jehovah's Witnesses in your area and ask them about it.

As mankind is already born into sin, you don't have to do anything to go to Hell, we are all bound for there. It is only if you want to go to Heaven that you must repent of your sins and give your life to Jesus.
Most people don't like admitting that they are sinners so just like to live in denial. But it is definitely worth taking the time out to seek for the Lord whilst He may be found.

Obviously, those who flippantly say such things don’t believe in the biblical concept of hell. Their understanding of the nature of God is erroneous. The slow-witted criminal thinks that the electric chair is a place to put up his feet for a while and relax. It may be wise therefore to speak with him for a few moments about the reasonableness of a place called hell.
Reason with him by saying, "If a judge in Florida turns a blind eye to the un-lawful dealings of the Mafia, if he sees their murderous acts and deliberately turns the other way, is he a good or bad judge? He’s obviously corrupt, and should be brought to justice him-self. If he is a good judge, he will do everything within his power to bring those murderers to justice. He should make sure that they are justly punished.
"If Almighty God sees a man rape and strangle to death your sister or mother, do you think He should look the other way, or bring that murderer to justice? If He looks the other way, He’s corrupt and should be brought to justice Himself. It makes sense then, that if God is good, He will do everything in His power to ensure justice is done. The Bible tells us that He will punish murderers, and the place of punishment—the prison God will send them to—is a place called hell.
"God should punish murderers and rapists. However, God is so good, he will also punish thieves, liars, adulterers, fornicators, and blasphemers. He will even punish those who desired to murder and rape but never took the opportunity. He warns that if we hate someone, we commit murder in our hearts. If we lust, we commit adultery in the heart, etc."
Then take the time to tell him of the reality of hell. Sinners like to picture hell as a fun, hedonistic, pleasure-filled place where they can engage in all the sensual sins that are forbidden here. But Jesus said that it is a place of torment, where the worm never dies and the fire is never quenched (Matthew 9:45-47). We tend to forget what pain is like when we don’t have it. Can you begin to imagine how terrible it would be to be in agony, with no hope of relief? Many human beings go insane if they are merely isolated for a long time from other people. Imagine how terrible it would be if God merely withdrew all the things we hold so dear—friendship, love, color, light, peace, joy, laughter, and security. Hell isn’t just a place with an absence of God’s blessings, it is punishment for sin. It is literal torment, forever. That’s why the Bible warns that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
God has given His Law to convince men of their sins, and unless a sinner is convinced that he has sinned against God, he won’t see that hell is his eternal destiny. He may consider it a fit place for others, but not for himself. That’s why we mustn’t hesitate to open up the Law and show that each individual is personally responsible for sin, and that God’s wrath abides on him because of it. Ask him to consider why you would say such things to him if it wasn’t true. Tell him to examine your motives. You are so concerned for his eternal welfare that you are prepared to risk offending him.
Then ask him if he would sell an eye for a million dollars. Would he sell both for ten million? No one in his right mind would. Our eyes are precious to us. How much more then is our eternal soul worth?

I would imagine selling your soul is a good way to do it. Especially since doing this raises the possibility (granted from zero to only infinitesimal) that there is a Satan around to pay you the price you ask for it.
So, for one wishing to go to hell, this seems a win-win proposition to me.

It is simple to avoid Hell. Simply and honestly put your faith in Jesus Christ to be your only means of salvation. Nothing you do or dont do adds anything to it. It is simply asking Jesus to be your only savior, and admit that you cannot save yourself(the scripture Isaiah 64:6 proves this. And to prove that Jesus is the only method by which you are saved, please read Romans 6:23

The Jehovah's witness people that visit me every week told me that I can't be saved, but the next time they come by I'll ask and get back with you.

Yes, commit 'blasphemy of the holy spirit'.
Maybe I should just save this answer off instead of retyping it every few minutes.
