Question

What is the philosophy of the Jehovah Witness religion?

Answer 1

What will Jesus do during his 1000 year kingdom? Jehovah ´s witness preach that Jesus after Armageddon and destruction of evildoers, Satan and his demons will be "Jailed" for 1000 years in the mean time Jesus will rule the earth with a group redeemed from earth (Revelation 5:10, 14:1-5) will resurrect people (Acts 24:15 and John 5:28-29) will provide food and eliminate famines (Psalm 72:16) will restore the health of humans (Isaiah 35:5-6, 33:24) will eliminate the death and the cause of the death and suffering (Revelation 21:4) in resumen will transform the earth in a great place to live a "new earth" the original purpose of God with Adam and Eve before they sinned (Genesis 1:28) .
After 1000 years , Satan will be release and mankind will have a second test and after that Satan will be cast into the lake of fire (destroyed) and Jesus give the kingdom to his father (Jehovah) (1 Corithians 15:28).

By the way I still haven´t found any other of religious organization that can prove this is false.

Answer 2

It's pretty simple, really- We follow the bible as closely as possible. Since everything in the bible is not laid out for us as a set of rules, we follow the principles in examples that are in the bible. Instead of being of the attitude that "if it ain't in the bible, then that means I can get away with it", we try to err on the side of caution, recognizing that throughout the bible God wants things a certain way and He does NOT have an "anything goes" attitude like many people claim. In fact, many of the teachings and doctrines of most "Christian" denominations are man- made or borrowed from pagan religions to make it more appealing. We stick to the bible no matter who likes it or not, because God made it clear in the bible not to mix false religion and false beliefs with true worship!
On a more personal note, I did not grow up as a JW, and was strongly opposed to them at one time because of ignorance. I have spoken to many members of many churches (including ministers, deacons, pastors, etc...), and none of them seem to want to discuss their beliefs using the bible. Every time they get stuck they almost always fall back on "Well, God's ways are higher than man's ways- we can't understand that yet". I always think to myself, "If you can't understand it then that defeats the purpose of God's own word! He gave us the bible in order to understand, not to confuse us!" Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones I've ever seen who can back up everything they believe with the bible AND do so happily! Also, many who say that we're "false prophets" are grasping at straws because they can't stand the fact that they know we're right and don't want to admit it! To them I say, "Taste and see that Jehovah is good, O YOU people;
Happy is the able-bodied man that takes refuge in him" -Psalm 34:8

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses use the bible as the authority for all their beliefs and teachings.
That is why they preach and teach people wherever they can be found about the good news of God's Kingdom.Because this is what Jesus commanded his followers to do prior to his ascension into heaven.(Mat.28:19,20)

Answer 4

moises spoke the truth!

God's kingdom through Jesus will bring happiness to all of mankind! just think about it: gone is depression, gone is fear, hunger, death, sickness, and other things that bring about the downfall of mankind.
psalms 37:9-11
revelation 21:4
11peter3:13

p.s. we don't "sell watchtowers"-
" the purpose of the 'watchtower' is to exalt Jehovah God as Sovereign Lord over all the universe.IT keeps watch on world events as these fullfill bible prophecy. It comforts all peoples with the good news that God's kingdom will destroy those who oppress thier fellowman and that it will turn the earth into a paradise. It encourages faith in god's now-reigning King, Jesus Christ, whose shed blood opens the way for mankind to gain eternal life. the 'Watchtower', published by Jehovah's Witnesses continually since1879, is non-political. It adheres to the bible as it's authority."
this purpose is printed on the pre-face of each and every 'Watchtower' printed all over the earth. the study lesson printed herein are the same lessons used on the same sunday ALL OVER THE EARTH--what other religion can make that claim?


we are united WORLDWIDE in our beliefs and way of worship

Answer 5

To do as Jesus Christ commanded us to do, preach in all the inhabited earth the good news of God's Kingdom so everyone has the opportunity to live forever in Paradise and live by Jehovah God's standards, Praise Jah you people.

Answer 6

As the theme of our District Assemblies is:

FOLLOW THE CHRIST
in all we do, we follow his example and his orders to his followers.

We know most "claiming" to be Christ's followers do not do this. This is why we are different.

Answer 7

Jehovah's Witnesses—Who Are They? What Do They Believe?


What Do They Believe?

EARTH . . . created by Jehovah . . . cared for by man . . . inhabited forever
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES believe in Almighty God, Jehovah, Creator of the heavens and the earth. The very existence of the intricately designed wonders in the universe surrounding us reasonably argues that a supremely intelligent and powerful Creator produced it all. Just as the works of men and women reflect their qualities, so do those of Jehovah God. The Bible tells us that "his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made." Also, without voice or words, "the heavens are declaring the glory of God."—Romans 1:20; Psalm 19:1-4.

People do not mold clay pots or make television sets and computers without a purpose. The earth and its creations of plant and animal life are far more marvelous. The structure of the human body with its trillions of cells is beyond our understanding—even the brain with which we think is incomprehensibly wonderful! If men have a purpose in bringing forth their comparatively insignificant inventions, surely Jehovah God had a purpose in his awesome creations! Proverbs 16:4 says that he does: "Everything Jehovah has made for his purpose."




Jehovah made the earth for a purpose, as he stated to the first human pair: "Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth . . . , have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth." (Genesis 1:28) Because they became disobedient, this couple failed to fill the earth with righteous families who would lovingly care for the earth and its plants and animals. But their failure does not make Jehovah's purpose fail. Thousands of years later, it was written: "God, the Former of the earth . . . , did not create it simply for nothing." He "formed it even to be inhabited." It is not to be destroyed, but "the earth endures for ever." (Isaiah 45:18; Ecclesiastes 1:4, The New English Bible) Jehovah's purpose for the earth will be realized: "My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do."—Isaiah 46:10.


Hence, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the earth will remain forever and that all people, living and dead, who will fit in with Jehovah's purpose for a beautified, inhabited earth may live on it forever. All mankind inherited imperfection from Adam and Eve and, hence, are sinners. (Romans 5:12) The Bible tells us: "The wages sin pays is death." "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." "The soul that is sinning—it itself will die." (Romans 6:23; Ecclesiastes 9:5; Ezekiel 18:4, 20) Then how can they live again to share in the earthly blessings? Only through the ransom sacrifice of Christ Jesus, for he said: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." "All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."—John 5:28, 29; 11:25; Matthew 20:28.

How will this come about? It is explained in "the good news of the kingdom," which Jesus started to proclaim while on earth. (Matthew 4:17-23) But today Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching the good news in a very special way.
