Jehovah's Witnesses are you going to heaven?

Question

if you say there are only 144,000 people going to heaven and there are currently over 3 million jw then how likley is it that YOU will go to heaven? are you willing to stay with your faith when you have such a slim chance?

Answer 1

Anyone who does not believe in the divinity of Christ will not go to heaven. Jehovah's Witnesses deny the diety of Christ, so according to the Bible none of them will be going to heaven...much less 144,000!

Answer 2

It is amazing how much misinformation is out there and people make al sorts of claims as to what some one else believes without knowing what theyy are talking about it is my understanding that Jehovahs Witnesses are many times confused with the mormons for some strange reason ! Jehovahs Witnesses are people who live and teach what the Bible says not what some preacher or other person has to say and the Bible does say 144,000 people out of all tribes and toungues and nations will go to Heaven in any Bible I have seen or read the Bible also speaks of a great crowd of people who will live on a cleansed paradise earth as this was Gods original poupose for mankind thats why he Put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in no Bible of any religion on earth did I find one that said to them if you are good in a specified time i will take you into Heaven they had the prospect of living forever in paradise and taking that Garden them and their children and grandchildren ect and expanding it to cover the whole earth and no one prior to Jesus day ever thought of going to Heaven Matt 11 :11 Jesus own cousin John the baptist wasnt going to Heaven and Ps 37 :9,11,29 speaks of a paradise Earth Rev 21:1-4 also does also in Luke 23;43 where did jesus tell the man impaled next to him he would go not to Heaven also Isa 65:17-25 speaks of a paradise on earth so it would seem that they are basing their hopes on Jesus plain and clear teachings not on wishfull thinking Gorbalizer

Answer 3

In learning the Bible, you will note that there is difference in what happens to people, after they are resurrected. There are those who will have immortal life, and those who will have eternal or everlasting life. If you have immortal life, only God can cease your existence. With eternal or everlasting life, you live without aging or illness, but you can still die of significant injury, just as Jesus did, while on Earth. He was the best example of the differences in the two possible futures for humans. Going to Heave, you have immortal life, but on Earth, you have everlasting life.

JWs believe that there will be a multitude who will receive everlasting life. This is something to seriously consider. Would you want to have life easy and without challenge, in Heaven, or be on Earth, helping to tear down this old system, and rebuilding the earth back into a Paradise. Once that is done, there are all those planets out there just waiting to be visited and possibly terraformed.

Man was created to live on earth, not in Heaven. Adam took away our right to everlasting life, the full use of our mental capabilities, and the happiness it would bring.

Answer 4

Why do you limit God?

There are 6.5 million Christian Witnesses of Jehovah in the world today.

Psalms Says that Jehovah is satisfying the desires of every living thing.

Proverbs chapter 2 says that the righteous will remain on the earth, and wicked will be removed
Psalms 37, say the meek will inherit the earth, and the wicked will be torn away.
In Matthew chapter 5 Jesus quoted this promise.

If Jehovah has promised that the earth will be restored to paradise, that we will find happiness and joy, that he will remove death, sickness, crime, war, and old age. Why do you want to throw that promise back in his face?

Answer 5

I've studied several different religions & this was one of them. They believe they will have a heaven on earth where everyone gets along & loves one another. Only a special few (144,000) will go to heaven.

Answer 6

Friend, you seem to not know that all JWs believe they will receive eternal life in perfect physical bodies on a Paradise earth, so that does not leave much to be desired in the way of "pie in the sky when they die". Since they believe they will never die, after the resurrection at least. Perfect health in a perfect world would sure be nothing to sneeze at!

Answer 8

The vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses hope to enjoy life ON EARTH forever, rather than in heaven. Literally more than 99.9% of them publicly demostrate their earthly hope every year at the commemoration of the Last Supper. The preaching work is performed because Jesus commanded it, not because it benefits Jehovah's Witnesses personally or as a religion.

Jehovah's Witnesses understand heaven to refer to the dwelling place of spirit creatures such as Jesus and the angels. They understand the Scriptures to teach that exactly 144,000 humans will join Christ Jesus as kings and priests to administer God's Kingdom (which 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
(Revelation 14:1) Lamb [Jesus] standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand
(Revelation 20:6) they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him

Over whom will they 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.”

Hell is NOT someplace/something mankind needs to fear; there is no suffering in 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


Almighty Jehovah God selects those few who have the heavenly calling. Each person "feels" his own hope and each person's hope remains unquestioned by his fellow Christians. Still 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]

Answer 9

Exactly ZERO people will go to Heaven. The place doesn't exist.

Answer 10

NO, they claim to be false prophets... They officially claimed that the organization itself is a prophet. They claimed that Jesus DID RETURN in the 19th century. Scripture teaches us to consider any "prophet" that teaches falsely in God's name is to be considered FALSE.
