Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible to teach that HUMANS will live on earth forever. The bible does not comment upon what may or may not happen to one or more individuals at some infinitely future time. Jehovah's Witnesses are content to teach what the bible actually says and to leave the speculation and self-absorbed musings to others.
(Matthew 6:25,27) On this account I [Jesus] say to you: Stop being anxious about yours souls... 27 Who of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span?
(2 Corinthians 12:9) [The Lord] really said to me: "My undeserved kindness is sufficient for you
(Luke 12:25-26) Who of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his life span? 26 If, therefore, you cannot do the least thing, why be anxious about the remaining things?
It is perhaps relevant that Jesus had a disciple who complained of wanting to see the Father, and Jesus told him that it was enough that he could learn about Jesus and Jesus' teachings and be associated with God and Christ.
(John 14:8-11) Philip said to him: "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." 9 Jesus said to him: "...He that has seen me has seen the Father also. How is it you say, 'Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me? The things I say to YOU men I do not speak of my own originality; but the Father who remains in union with me is doing his works. 11 Believe me that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me
(John 17:21-26) [Jesus said] you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they [Jesus' disciples] also may be in union with us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me forth. 22 Also, I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. 23 I in union with them and you in union with me, in order that they may be perfected into one, that the world may have the knowledge that you sent me forth and that you loved them just as you loved me. 24 Father, as to what you have given me, I wish that, where I am, they also may be with me, in order to behold my glory that you have given me, because you loved me before the founding of the world. 25 Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you; but I have come to know you, and these have come to know that you sent me forth. 26 And I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”
The bible does use some interesting language to describe the interaction between Jehovah God and humankind.
(Revelation 21:3-4) The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
(Leviticus 26:11,12) And I shall certainly put my tabernacle in the midst of you... 12 And I shall indeed walk in the midst of you and prove myself your God
(Exodus 25:8) And [the sons of Israel] must make a sanctuary for me [Jehovah], as I must tabernacle in the midst of them.
(1 Kings 6:13) I [Jehovah] shall indeed reside in the middle of the sons of Israel, and I shall not leave my people Israel.
(Psalm 132:13-14) He [Jehovah] has longed for it as a dwelling for himself: 14 "This is my resting-place forever; Here I shall dwell, for I have longed for it.
(Psalm 46:5) God is in the midst of the city; it will not be made to totter.
(Psalm 68:16) The mountain that God has desired for himself to dwell in? Even Jehovah himself will reside there forever.
(Deuteronomy 23:14) For Jehovah your God is walking about within your camp to deliver you
(Hosea 11:9) I am God and not man, the Holy One in the midst of you
(Ezekiel 43:7) I [Jehovah] shall reside in the midst of the sons of Israel to time indefinite
(2 Corinthians 6:16) God said: "I shall reside among them and walk among them, and I shall be their God, and they will be my people

*** the bible says - 144000 will go to heaven to rule along with god. Different religions believe different things - breathens belive that they all are the 144000, cathlocs also believe this. Jehovahs witnesses believe that the 144000 will rule with god in the heavens and will be present on gods judgement day, the rest of us will live on the earth - and no - jehovahs wittnesses do not believe that they will be the only ones there!! Jehovahs witness obey the bible and it is the bible that the whole religion is based on - they do no pick and choose the things they like they do what the bible and god wanted.

No one knows the state of grace another person is in, so we cannot judge them on that. Just because they may not be on the right path, doesn't mean they, as individuals may not be in a state of grace.

Only God has the right to judge that and I don't think he'll answer you on the net.
Let's just wait and see who goes and who doesn't.
God bless!

Why is this in the dogs section?
I can't say it doesn't make me laugh, though.
Jehovas Witnesses as dogs.
Hehehehe. Trying to insinuate something?
