Question for Jehovah Witnesses...?

Question

i need some clarification on this:
end times: Jesus will rule with co-rulers - the apostles of his time. Paradise will be on earth. 144000 will live in it. Man will be immortal.
So where do the other souls go? or family members of same faith who have died recently, where are their souls, since they arent in heaven.
Please answer according to my questions.
And for those wanting to bash: i know about Charles Taze Russell, and the illuminati, this question is for enlightenment, not criticim.

but what about JW's who have died now? Since souls don't go to heaven.

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible to teach that "the soul" is not immortal. A soul who dies ceases to exist, except as a memory (including in the perfect memory of Almighty God, who 'yearns' to resurrect).

(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning - it itself will die.

(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]

(Job 14:14-15) If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait [in the grave], Until my relief comes. You [God] will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the [resurrection] work of your hands you will have a yearning.


The vast majority of Jehovah's 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]

Answer 2

Jesus rules with the 144,000.

See

Rev 5:9 And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”

Rev 14:3 And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth.

Those bought from the earth (144,000) are kings and priest with Christ and these are the ones who inherit immortality.

They are spiritual Jews Rom. 2:28 For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and [his] circumcision is that of the heart by spirit, and not by a written code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from God.

The remaining live in Paradise on Earth.

(Prov 2:21 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. 22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.

Since death is the end of life, All who die, (not just J.W.'s)
are in God's memory awaiting a resurrection.

John 3: 13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

For enlightenment:

Jesus will rule alone. The apostles will serve as judges over the tribes of Isreal, but ruling authority will belong to Jesus alone. The millenial kingdom described in the Bible will be manifested on the current Earth. At the end of the 1k years, though, a new Heaven and New Earth will replace it and Paradise will be located there.

As for where the JW's believe those not counted in the 144k will go, I'm not certain. However, there is nothing in the Bible that leads me to that conclusion. John 3:16 - "that whosoever believes in Him will have eternal life." Whosoever means anyone, not just 144,000.

Answer 4

Well the identical means that we've got a individual title and might love to be referred to as through our title alternatively of Man, Woman, Boy & so forth is the identical means that God feels. Psalms eighty three:18 says "May folks realize that you simply, whose title is Jehovah,You by myself are the Most High over the entire earth." The indisputable fact that his title is stated within the Bible suggests God wishes his title to be recognized & in view that we're his witnesses or fans, we're referred to as Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 5

Jehovahs witness are a cult, stay away from them
