What if Jehovah's Witnesses are correct?

Question

I disagree with some of Jehovh's Witnesses belief (e.g medical use of blood). But, I keep thinking on these: (a) most of them live according to Biblical laws, (b) they fully understand what the kingdom of God is--that it is a real government, and (c) that their preaching work just like what the apostles did is really God's way of warning us that he will soon cleanse the earth.

What if they are correct? Suppose they are correct. An angel tells you--at the end of this world--bow down your head please so I can chop it off. I have to chop off some 184,999 heads more. My friend here has to chop off 200K more.

What if JW's are correct? What should we do? Should we not act now, that there is time?

Answer 1

If Jehovah's Witnesses are correct, then I wish one of them would knock on my door.

Answer 2

The JWs, like most cults, take just enough of the truth of others to make themselves look ligitimet. But They DO NOT teach The Good News as God intends. They do not even know God for who He is. They deny the diety of Jesus The Christ. That alone proves they are not of The Christian Faith. They do not teach how true Salvation is achieved. Without knowing and accepting the diety of Jesus and with out coming to God in The Way He proscribes... There is no Salvation.

The JWs are just another man invented "religion"cult. All who follow that teaching will end up just the same as all who reject God.

Answer 3

I refuse to believe in God as a magical governor-in-the-sky who employs angelic death squads to behead anybody who doesn't follow his rules. It's a barbaric idea and, frankly, beneath the concept of God.

To answer your question, though, IF the JW's are correct, then there really is nothing anyone *can* do. I mean, it's not like I'm going to punch God in the nose or raise a militia to defeat him. One would assume that an anthropomorphized version of "God" and a bunch of angels could pretty much have their way with us...

Or am I missing the point of your question? Are you instead suggesting that we should start living like the JW's in order to assure our place in heaven (I don't know very much about the JW beliefs)? If that's your question then my answer is "Go with your gut."

There's no way to know which (if any) of all the world's religions and philosophies is right. They all claim to be truth, and there's just no way to know for sure (thus the need for faith). So, be true to yourself, go with your gut, and hope that -- if there is a god -- he'll appreciate your honest attempt to pick the right path...

And, really, how could any God worth his salt not appreciate that?

Answer 4

If they are correct - good for them. But why do we take any chances?

If I get sick, I will not hesitate to go to the Hospital and meet a Doctor than do anything else. Recently a Church pastor and parents of a young girl were sent to Prison over here, because the girl died of illness and they did not take her to hospital. Instead the Church pastor tried to heal her and failed.

And we can never say that it's the JW's who understand the bible better than others. No body will know who's interpretation is right.

Well I am glad that I am not a christian and don;t have to worry about those facts.

Answer 5

If they are correct,we would all have been dead in 1985.
So,I guess they're not.
It's hard for me as an atheist to take this seriously but I'll give you an answer that serves you probably more.
God is love and forgiving.JW's live in constant fear and believe they are the only ones saved
so they're quiet selfish too.They believe and practice their religion because they are afraid of their God.
It's one of the most reject able forms of Christianity.
From what I read in the bible Jesus was not mean and very tolerant and I don't understand how Jehovah's make this into something!ng so horrific.
Talk to members who left the church,you'll find a lot of grieve and misery caused by this cult

Answer 6

Isaiah 8: 19&20 If the speak contrary to the Bible it is because there is NO light in them. Jesus IS the son of God, not just a good man or a prophet. If He is not then He was the worst kind of man. The Jews rejected Jesus as Messiah and thats the same as JW do now. Do not be decieved. And Yes we should be going two by two in our own wittness of Jesus!!!!!

Answer 7

Practising what the Bible indicated are true believers - cos they believe in their hearts. Not practising it are not true believers but paying only lips service. Watch out for many false teachers - for they paddle God's Word for profit. As the Bible instructed - look for the fruits - Good tree bears good fruits and not bad ones. Those who love God first would want to obey. 2nd commandment - love others as you love yourself. Do not take advantage of others - that's not love but selfishness - that's what the world taught us - self. The JW is against war - what it bring is suffering for both although the victor can boost about it later - why then remember their dead ones every year. In history, the catholics and protestants had gone to wars - both side pray to God for victory - will He answer to both who disobey ? As a protestant myself I observed many hyprocisy - and excuses not to follow what's in the Bible - for selfish interests and excuses. They taught those who accepted Christ will be in heaven when they died - imagine the unfits were to end up there. Heaven would be like here on earth - selfishness, greed, fighting, - is that Heaven???? So can those misguided Mullahs who promise those who bomb to kill the infidels would end up in Heaven. If both these preachers are correct - then Heaven is no different. Some preaches riches from blessing but only the truthful find riches in spirits for their hearts look towards God to overcome the temptations of this world. Everyday living on earth seeing all these falsehoods and deceptions invoke much sufferrings to their souls. Their cries to God is let these people see the truth. That those who seek Him may not be deceived.

Answer 8

If JW were right the world would have ended about 10 times already over the last 50 years...

Answer 9

If you were to be given a valuable piece of property to watch and told it would be yours in time if you do a good job. What course would you take.

This is why they are fighting in the middle east right now.

Two distinctive religious sects both claim the same piece of ground.

Which one is correct, if either is?

No one has the original written text of the scriptures.

Who knows who has modified them to suit their tastes over the years.

If it wasn't for the dogmatic fundamentalists who seen to feel that what they have written is the only truth, we all could live in peace.

Answer 10

If JWs are correct . Faith is of no good. My Heavenly Father sent his Son , to seal those that are his. they will have the faith to endure & over come. JWs in their Kingdom Hall do not go to Heaven or hell they do not believe. they are True Earthlings of Flesh. with no Hope of a new Spiritual Body in heaven so I guess if this is where they want to stay its up to them. I promise it will not be a Paradice on Earth.

Answer 11

I'd say we don't need to worry about action. Jehovah's Witnesses have been proven on countless occasions to be completely inaccurate in their beliefs. Next time a JW comes to your door distributing religious literature, simply take one of their brochures, read the prophecies publicized by the Church, and see if they actually come true. I'll save you time: NOT ONE PROPHECY MADE by the Jehovah's Witnesses has EVER proven itself true.
