You ask a ??? pertaining to Jehovah's Witnesses, unless a Witness answers your ???, all you receive is a bunch of utter nonsense, lies, they know very little about JW's, they just like to toot their horn.
Who are most of these people? Some just hate the teaching of JW's, but many are disfellowshipped, apostates, a disloyal person who betrays or deserts his cause or religion. Why did they leave or were disfellowshipped, here are some reasons:
Some of the offenses that could merit disfellowshipping from the Christian congregation are fornication, adultery, homosexuality, greed, extortion, thievery, lying, drunkenness, reviling, spiritism, murder, idolatry, apostasy, and the causing of divisions in the congregation.
Why don't you people wise up and start acting like a
Christian, isn't that what most of you claim to be?

The correct spelling of their God's name is Jehovah Ps.83:18 and They only believe only a certain amount will go too heaven 144,000, Is because this is stated in the bible and they do not try to get people to join their religion, They Go FROM DOOR TO DOOR Trying to SAVE LIVES by Preaching about God's Kingdom John 17:3, because this is what Jesus did centuries ago, Baptizing people in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, It is a life saving work that they were commanded to do, Because just as in Noah's day all bad people then did not believe it would rain they made Fun of Noah only because it had never rain in such a long time so God bought about a deluged of rain 40 day 40 nights, Those who where not on the inside of that Ark Died, Same as today soon Armageddon the day(WAR) God will rid this earth of ALL wickedness and Evil the GREAT DAY he will bring about a Kingdom that will set in place his Purpose of what he had set in motion in the beginning, A Paradise with ALL GOOD People who will be Perfect and they would live forever with not ever having to worry abou dieing, getting sick growing old,crime ect.Revelations 21:3,4;Ps.37;11;Mic.4:3,4;Rev.14:1-3;Heb.12:22-24;Rev.21:1-5;22:1,2

They believe that only 144,000 will go to the highest realm of heaven, but that others can still be saved and go to the lower levels. They also believe that Jesus will return and restore the Earth to her pre-Fall existence, so all those who don't get to a level of heaven will enjoy eternal bliss in a perfect world.
Beware of any cult that takes a few Bible verses and twists them out of context! Jesus said that if anyone does not believe that He is one with the Father in essence, they will be eternally damned. JW's are like many other cults -- they deny that Jesus is who He claims to be in scripture.

Two parts to this: First, you can't be sure that every single one of the 144,000 people has heard the 'Good News' unless you tell every single person in the world.
Second, religion is all about marketing. They are selling God to those who haven't 'bought' Him yet. By building a following, supposedly, people will learn the 'best' way to live under God, in peace, forever.

Jehovah's Witnesses
One thing they want you to learn about God
But I feel if you alway know about God from other
they shouldn't push it
Just tell me I am a believer of Jehovah God just like you
Thank You but no thank I am going to church already

No JW will get to Heaven... to get to heaven you have to come to God in The Way He proscribes... if you do not acnowledge the diety of Jesus The Christ... you are not going to get to God at all... so no Heaven
JWs deny the diety of Jesus

they have to witness (tell others about) their religion in order to go to heaven.
