Am I missing something here? Clarify to me what Christian's consider judging? For me judging is when you say something wrong about a person when you have no clue or evidence that person is what you are saying. If you have experienced a cruel and bad thing from a person and you come out and say so to warn other's to be careful when being around that person, I don't consider that judging. If I quote this scripture to another on a answer , Matthew 23:28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to be people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
Am I guilty of judging? NO. I am just stating what Jesus said. That scripture is the word's that came from Jesus, and not from me. If someone say something about you that you don't like to hear knowing it's the truth, of course you will say that person is judging you. One excuse is better than none, as other's say. I am not perfect and neither is any of us.
Like I said it all falls under on what that person did to you will make it to be a fact that you are unjustly judging or telling the truth. Discern for yourself.

So you are telling you the story of a christan (whatever that is) is more acceptable then the story of a jehovah witness?

When was the last time you see a christan (whatever that is) not judging others? When was the last time you see a christan (whatever that is) say hi to you from pradise (wherever that is)

The Bible clearly states that the righteous will remain on the Earth the wicked will be cut off. It doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that the Earth will be destroyed.

Theres two Great Crowds talked about in the Book of Revelation - one being the one that goes to Heaven, the second being those who remain on the Earth.

Revelation 7:9
After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

The first Crowd of people are numbered as the 144,000 - yet this second Crowd is not numbered, which shows they are completely different.

It says that they will be standing before the throne of the Lamb, so does that mean they are in Heaven? No, because the word translated for before (enopion) can be translated sight also. There were many accounts in the Bible that talks about people standing before God while here on Earth.
(2 Timothy 2:14, 1 Timothy 5:21, Galatians 1:20)

Also, the Bible says that when Jesus arrives in his Glory, all the Nations will be gathered BEFORE him.

31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Note that he is going to separate the sheep from the goats (wicked from the non-wicked).

Proverbs 2:21
21 For the upright will live in the land,
and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

Again, it says the wicked will be cutoff but the blameless will remain in it.

Many people refer to 2 Peter 3:7 as proof of the earth being destroyed, but it too obviously states that the ungodly men will be the ones destroyed and removed from the Earth.

Scriptures are clear as day - you just have to accept what it says.

Bible study has persuaded Jehovah's Witnesses that Christendom largely misses the bible's explanation of God's purposes.

Jehovah's Witnesses are relatively unique among self-described Christians in that they understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom by Christ Jesus is a real government 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

That Kingdom will 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.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or 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

While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, 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]

Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

'DIFFERENT religions are simply different roads leading to the same goal. After all, there is only one God, is there not?' That sentiment is shared by many who feel that although religious affiliation is important, it does not really matter which religion one chooses to follow.

At first glance, this argument may seem plausible, since it is true that there is only one God, the Almighty. (Isaiah 44:6; John 17:3; 1 Corinthians 8:5, 6) However, we cannot overlook the obvious differences—even contradictions—among the many religious groups who claim to serve the true God. They differ greatly in their practices, their beliefs, their teachings, and their requirements. The differences are so great that those belonging to one religion or group find it difficult to understand or accept what the others teach or believe.

On the other hand, Jesus said: "God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth." (John 4:24) Does worshiping God with truth allow for a range of contradictory ideas about who God is, what his purposes are, and how he wants to be worshiped? Is it logical to believe that it is immaterial to Almighty God how we worship him?

True Christians Then and Now
Christians of the first century at times had different opinions about things. For example, speaking of those in Corinth, the apostle Paul said: "Disclosure was made to me about you, my brothers, by those of the house of Chloe, that dissensions exist among you. What I mean is this, that each one of you says: 'I belong to Paul,' 'But I to Apollos,' 'But I to Cephas,' 'But I to Christ.'"—1 Corinthians 1:11, 12.

Did Paul view these differences as of little significance? Was each individual simply following his own path to salvation? Far from it! Paul admonished: "I exhort you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you should all speak in agreement, and that there should not be divisions among you, but that you may be fitly united in the same mind and in the same line of thought."—1 Corinthians 1:10.

Of course, unity of belief cannot be achieved by coercion. It is achieved only when individuals carefully investigate matters and arrive at and accept the same conclusions. Thus, a personal study of God's Word and an honest desire to apply what is learned are essential steps to enjoy the kind of unity that Paul spoke of. Can such unity be found? As we have seen, God has long dealt with his people as a group. Is it possible to identify that group today?

Most christians think that they're the only ones getting in, they've just agreed not to argue about it in public anymore, what with the beard pulling and the holy wars and such.

Jehovah's Witnesses, strictly speaking, are not Christians. Even they and their Watchtower Society will tell you that.

For a true statement of Christian belief, refer to the Nicean Creed, a common ecumenical statement of faith agreed to by most bishops of the Church long long ago, and still recited today in many Christian Churches every Sunday, including mine........... IMO, you cannot legitimately call yourself a Christian unless you believe these basic articles of faith. You might believe in a higher power of some sort, but you aren't really Christian.......

They are not Christian. They carry a Bible but they read another book they go by.
They are taught that they have to work to get into heaven. They are literally brain washed to guard against the evil of the world, which includes Christianity.
