Where can I find a list of the Jehovah's Witlesses 144,000 annointed?

Question

Am I in that list?

Why does the JW's God make any distinctions?

Are they God's VIP's? What a snobbish jerk God is if that is true!

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: So, finally when will the world end? It's supposed to have ended like three times before but no way José.

Answer 1

LOL---To date the JW's have given at least 6 different dates for the "end times"-which of course have come & gone uneventfully- --I think they have now reverted to the same word St. Paul used--"soon"--
To prop up their inane dogma they have written their own Bible and blatantly altered key words to reflect a completely different meaning--eg--in Luke Ch 17v21 Christ said "the Kingdom of God will never come with signs-for the Kingdom of God is WITHIN you. JW's changed the word "within" to "among"--placing the Kingdom of God outside you..
However, to be fair to the JW's--they certainly aren't the only Christian tribe to adhere to this "end times" nonsense--despite the fact that Christ labeled religious "sign-seekers" as hypocrites & vipers--& warned his true followers to avoid them like the plague.

Answer 2

There isn't a list of the 144,000 JW's. Suffice to say if you were a JW in 1935, you would likely be on that list. If you became one after that, you wouldn't be there and non-members like me won't be there either.
This of course is simply not true. The offer of God in the Bible is to WHOEVER WILL COME. That gets rid of the nonsense that God is a jerk and the other stuff.
The world ending 3 times? It is a few more than that! 1914,1915,1918,1922,1925,1942,1974,1984,1989,1994 and "soon" are the dates predicted so far.

Answer 3

Google the watchtower (.org) website for facts on the 144,000. It wont' list them by name or anything.

If you were on the list you would know it. Jehovah God's holy spirit would be with you, and there would be no doubt about it in your mind that you are one of the annointed.

No, they are not.
And actually, I'm not one to want to go to heaven. I think that's a bit selfish to think that you did everything according to God's will, when you didn't. I look forward to the earthly hope. Living on a paradise earth (total 360 from the way it is now) would be almost too good to be true!

Only God knows the exact date and time in which the world will end. But when Jesus gave his surmon on the mount of olives, his disciples asked him how they would know when the conclusion of this system of things (end) would be, and he gave them signs in Matthew chapter 14. Read it. It speaks of wars (going on now), famine (all over), earthquakes, etc. And at 2 Timothy 1:3-5 it speaks of the last days. And compared to today, you know we are in the last days, and the conclusion of this system of things in very near! (Zephaniah 1:14).

Answer 4

Even if you went to a congregation, you wouldn't be able to tell who were annointed. You wouldn't know until you attended the memorial on Niacin 14, and then only if you watch each and every individual very closely.

The are no put on a pedestal, but are servants for others. They gain nothing on Earth. They do not say, "Look at me, I'm Born Again!" like they do in other religions.

Answer 5

The full membership of the 144,000 has not yet been finally "sealed"; it would seem that a full list of those names may be available sometime after Armageddon. A person who is fundamentally ignorant of what the bible teaches in this regard seems unlikely to be chosen by God as one of the kings and priests over mankind, alongside Christ; yet God chooses who he will without regard for human ideas:

(1 Samuel 16:7) For not the way man sees is the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is


Interestingly, Jehovah's Witnesses expect that many thousands of the 144,000 have never set foot in a Kingdom Hall or read 'The Watchtower'.

The fact is that the vast majority of Witnesses hope to enjoy life ON EARTH forever, rather than in heaven. 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

The men and women who make up the 144,000 are selected by God from among two thousand years of Christians. 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]
