Answer 1

Every Christian must be firstly subject to God and Christ, according to the bible. No Christian would intentionally disobey the bible's plain instruction regarding an individual's relative subjection to secular governments, to parents, to husbands, and to "those taking the lead" in the congregation. Of course, each Christian must work to balance the specifics of his human subjections in a manner which honors and obeys Christ and God.

(Romans 13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities [that is, the secular governments], for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God.

(Hebrews 13:17) Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive

(Ephesians 5:21) Be in subjection to one another in fear of Christ.


A Jehovah's Witness husband who abused his wife would likely find himself publicly reproved or even disfellowshipped from the congregation as an unrepentant sinner.

(1 Timothy 5:20;6:5) Reprove before all onlookers persons who practice sin... From these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions, violent disputes about trifles on the part of men corrupted in mind and despoiled of the truth


Within their congregations, Jehovah's Witnesses do not tolerate the practice of violence, and they do not tolerate the 'loose conduct' exhibited by those who flagrantly disobey secular laws.

(Ephesians 4:19) Having come to be past all moral sense, they gave themselves over to loose conduct

(2 Peter 2:2) Furthermore, many will follow their acts of loose conduct, and on account of these the way of the truth will be spoken of abusively.

Answer 2

I will try to answer as best I can.

We are slaves to no one. The Bible teaches the Husband is the Head of the household, however, the Wife is a partner. The Bible gives MANY examples of wives who have been strong proponents and at times opponents of Jehovah. Jehovah gives us ALL free will, not just men.

I do not know what exactly you mean by How muslim men treat their wives, so I will let the part of my answer suffice for that.

If you mean Hell in the sense of a place of eternal torment, then No we do not believe in it, as the idea of hellfire etc. is not Biblical.

No, we do not believe the drinking of Alcohol is a sin. Even Christ drank wine. It is sinful to abuse the use of Alcohol. Among those who would not inherit the Kingdom, Drunkards are mentioned. This of course does not mean one mistake ruins one's chances but rather shows us what to avoid.

Yes, we do believe that 144,000 will/have been/are being resurected to heaven. Remember, Jehovah's original plan was for Humans too be fruiful and become many, on the Earth. Just because Adam and Eve pushed things off course a ways does not mean Jehovah would change his plans.

Answer 3

Philosopher summed it up very nicely... To give another example tho, It's as simple as an arrangement established in heaven by God himself. Was Jesus a mistreated slave of Jehovah when he was asked to die on our behalf to make up for what Adam and Eve lost? You can't have 2 Gods, ask Satan he still mad about that. The same goes for any family. Do some men abuse their authority, oh yes... Do many women display extraordinary ability to use leadership well.. Yes they do: Yet, in the end; in a perfect world where all is in harmony and death is no more.... Husbands are to take the lead with both kindness and respect to their wives and children. Just as Jehovah himself shows this same respect towards Jesus, The Angels and the Entire Human Family..

Answer 4

Jehovah's Witness men (as a whole) respect their women and treat them as very valuable. They are, however, given headship by God and will exercise it when necessary but only after considering the wife's viewpoint and always in a respectful manner. The Bible says that God does not approve of burning children alive in fire (Jeremiah 7:31), Jesus turned the water into wine and the 144,000 are the only ones who are bought from the earth to rule as kings and priests with Christ (BTW--some of them are women). The meek will inherit the earth (Psalm 37).

Answer 5

my mother is a jehovah's witness.

no, they do not treat their wives like muslim men. they treat their wives normal but according to what the bible says and the bible says that the man is the head of the house. if you don't like that, then you don't like the bible.

also, they don't believe in hell, because the bible doesn't actually teach that there is a hell. the reference in it to a place called gehenna is misinterpreted by mainstream christianity to mean that there is a hell, when in fact gehenna was nothing more than a garbage dump outside of jerusalem and it was only used as a metaphor to describe eternal destruction.

yes, jehovah's witnesses do not think drinking alcohol is a sin, because jesus himself drank wine. it's ok to drink alcohol, but not ok to get drunk.

lastly, yes, they believe only a small flock of 144000 will go to heaven and everyone else will live on earth forever in a paradise, just like adam and eve were supposed to before they sinned.

Answer 6

No, and stop talking to whoever told you these things. The best way to find out what a religion believes is to ask someone who's IN that religion. Would you want someone to ask all about you from someone who only has 2nd or 3rd hand information and who may or may not have an unbiased opinion of you or would you want them to ask you?

Answer 7

Muslims do not abuse women. But I have seen christians put their women before dogs and horses in some movies. I have been in america and noticed that christians women are public property, these are cheaper than water. You can use christian woman like a tissue paper.

Come towards Islam

It is for the mutual good of both marriage partners to stick to the roles assigned them by Jehovah God. The wise family head earns wifely respect, and the submissive wife increases the husband’s love. God’s Word counsels: “Let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the Lord, because a husband is head of his wife as the Christ also is head of the congregation, he being a savior of this body. In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, so let wives also be to their husbands in everything. Husbands, continue loving your wives, just as the Christ also loved the congregation and delivered up himself for it. In this way husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself, for no man ever hated his own flesh, but he feeds and cherishes it, as the Christ also does the congregation, because we are members of his body. ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh.’ Nevertheless, also, let each one of you individually so love his wife as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.”—Eph. 5:22-25, 28-31, 33, NW.

All religions except us, the JW believe in life after death (the Christian and non-christian). The so called Christians took many false doctrines from the pagans like immortality, trinity and also holidays (like Christmas etc).
"All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the place to which you are going." - Ecclesiastes 9:10
After we die we cease existing. So, we don't go to heaven or hell. We just decompose.

Drinking alcohol it is a sin. "What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor DRUNKARDS, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit GOD"S KINGDOM. " - 1Corinthians 6:9,10

GOD'S KINGDOM is a government established by Jehovah God with a King chosen by God. Who is the King of God’s Kingdom? Jesus Christ. Jesus as King is greater than all human rulers and is called “the King of those who rule as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords.” (1 Timothy 6:15) He has the power to do far more good than any human ruler, even the best among them.
MILLIONS of people worldwide are familiar with the prayer that many call the Our Father, or the Lord’s Prayer. Both expressions refer to a famous prayer given as a model by Jesus Christ himself. At the beginning of this model prayer, Jesus instructed his hearers: “You must pray, then, this way: ‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.’” (Matthew 6:9-13)

The apostle John was given a vision in which he saw “the Lamb [Jesus Christ] standing upon the Mount Zion [his royal position in heaven], and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.” Who are those 144,000? John himself tells us: “These are the ones that keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes. These were bought from among mankind as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.” (Revelation 14:1, 4) Yes, they are faithful followers of Jesus Christ specially chosen to rule in heaven with him. After being raised out of death to heavenly life, “they are to rule as kings over the earth” along with Jesus. (Revelation 5:10) Since the days of the apostles, God has been selecting faithful Christians in order to complete the number 144,000.
"And I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel". - Revelation 7:4
