Christians, Who are Jehovah's Witness? Do they really believe in the End of the World?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom will soon replace all earthly governments.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite

That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire

While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]

Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

Answer 2

The Jehovah's Witness is a kind of cult organization, although they don't lock anybody up. They started around 1870 around the belief of a second coming of Jesus Christ. They set several dates and when none of them happened they stuck their necks out and decided that the end of world (the tribulation) would start in 1914.... didn't happen. Later they changed that to the "1914 generation". Last I heard they were still waiting for the 1914 generation to die, and they keep saying the end of the world is imminent.

While the Jehovah's Witnesses have some good people and I would even call them Christian, I would still consider them a fringe group with a weird history, and weird founders.

Answer 3

It's not just the Jehovah's Witnesses. For instance, The United Church of God, An International Association, at http://www.ucg.org/ , believes we're fast approaching the end of this "evil age" when Christ will return in the nick of time to prevent mankind from annihilating himself and set up the Kingdom of God on earth. See, for example, "Are We Living In The Time Of The End?", at http://www.gnmagazine.org/booklets/ET/

Answer 4

The Jehovah's Witness religion is a false religion in that they get their beliefs about what the Bible says from the Watchtower organization in Brooklyn, NY., which they believe to be God's only true voice. The Witnesses who are faithful to the Watchtower spend hours a week studying Watchtowers publications to find out what to believe, because they aren't allowed to have an understanding of the bible that is different than the Watchtowers bias guided tour through the Scripture.

Answer 5

Honestly, the only thing I know about Jehovah's Witness' is that they don't celebrate any holidays.

Answer 6

Christians, like Jehovah Witlesses will believe whatever they are TOLD to believe by the PR guy who wrote their book. Both are a bunch or crazed, bigoted,'can't make up their minds who to fight next' morons who like nothing more than to express their own stupid opinions as if it were some kind of truth. Oh yes while on the subject, I hear that the Witlesses have now decided that blood transfusions are ok, apparently they misread a typo. F....idiots.and the expect me to believe what they say? Lmao!
Hopefully they will all sail to the edge of the world and fall off...Crackheads
