yes to all

Answer 2

Juggernaut answered perfectly well. Scott J's comment needs a reply.

If you join a company, any company, do you just find a hole to crawl in so as to do nothing but come out for a paycheck? If you do, well you aren't to good of an employee are you? How long do you figure after the boss notices, will you last?

On the other hand, if you are doing what the job requires and more to make things better for the company, how will the boss react to this?

In every company, people have jobs to be accomplished. God's organization is no different. Sitting on your butt is not enough. God's people move, have work to be done. As it was in the first century, so it is now.

Only Satan's organization has little work involved in it. the main job there is to get as many people as possible to not become a part of God's organization. That involves encouraging the lazy.

Answer 3

As you can see from the JW answers provided, Jehovah's Witnesses believe in heaven (but only for a select 144,000), hell is the common grave (hell fire is symbolic), God is called Jehovah whom they worship and Jesus was a perfect man who was previously Michael the archangel.

A more telling question would be How do JW beliefs in heaven, hell, God and Jesus DIFFER from orthodox Christian beliefs? Here are some key differences:

They do not accept the divinity of Christ Jesus and will not worship him.

The Holy Spirit is a mere 'it', a force of energy, like electricity.

They teach soul annihilation - you will know nothing after you die (unless you are resurrected) and will simply be in Jehovah's memory.

Jesus was resurrected as a spirit creature (his body conveniently disappeared).

They claim Jesus second coming happened invisibly in 1914.

There is much more, but that is not what you really asked. From the JW point of view the answer is yes, they believe in heaven (but only for 144,000), hell (but only as the common grave), Jehovah and Jesus (but not as The Word, as I AM, as Lord and Saviour).

P.S. There is nothing false in Scott J's statement.

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in the immortality of the soul. After a person dies he ceases to exist. He is not going in a fiery hell to be tormented forever or in heaven, but in the common grave of the humankind (Sheol, Hades).

"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


Heaven is the dwelling place of Jehovah God and of faithful spirit creatures.

"... You are from the realms below; I am from the realms above. You are from this world; I am not from this world." -- John 8:23 (Jesus' words)


Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only 144,000 people will go to heaven to rule as kings and priests with Jesus over the mankind. Most people have an earthly hope. The righteous will reside forever on an earthly paradise in perfetct conditions.

"And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. " -- Revelation 14:11

"The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it." -- Psalm 37:29


Jehovah's Witnesses believe in God Jehovah, the Sovereign of the Universe. They also believe that Jesus is God's son, not a part of a trinity, the one who sacrificed himself so that our sins could be forgiven.

"That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah,
You alone are the Most High over all the earth." -- Psalm 83:18

"This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." -- John 17:3

Ecclesiastes 9:4 - "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten."

Ecclesiastes 9:10 - "All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She′ol, the place to which you are going."

Ezekiel 18:4 - "Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.

Jehovah God - Yes...

Deuteronomy 6:4 - "Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah."

Mark 12:29 - "Jesus answered: “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah,"

Jesus Christ - Yes...

Yes

Answer 10

Now because we have the same spirit of faith as that of which it is written: “I exercised faith, therefore I spoke,” we too exercise faith and therefore we speak,

WALKING BEFORE JEHOVAH IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING

Being preserved from such a fearful situation, the survivors can then say, as did the psalmist:

“Return to your resting-place, O my soul, for Jehovah himself has acted appropriately toward you. For you have rescued my soul from death, my eye from tears, my foot from stumbling. I will walk before Jehovah in the lands of those living. I had faith, for I proceeded to speak. I myself was very much afflicted. I, for my part, said, when I became panicky: ‘Every man is a liar.’”—Ps. 116:7-11.

After deliverance from the enemy attack, which certainly will bring tenseness to the endangered ones, the survivors of Har–Magedon can let their souls, their own selves, relax. They may get temporarily panicky when under attack, knowing that no human could help them even if he promised or tried to do so. Faith in God is what will bring their deliverance. Then, having been preserved from stumbling in a death-dealing fall, they will be determined to continue to “walk before Jehovah in the lands of those living.”

Today all who have faith in God can get strength from the words of the psalmist in conjunction with the apostle Paul’s comforting counsel at 2 Corinthians 4:8, 9: “We are pressed in every way, but not cramped beyond movement; we are perplexed, but not absolutely with no way out; we are persecuted, but not left in the lurch; we are thrown down, but not destroyed.”

The apostle went on to say, with Psalm 116 in mind: “I exercised faith, therefore I spoke.” (2 Cor. 4:13) Likewise God’s people can speak with full, unquestioning faith in God’s protection. Why? Because God will ‘act appropriately toward them.’ (Ps. 116:7) His action is altogether appropriate and in harmony with the promises recorded in his Word. He “becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.” (Heb. 11:6) This is also in harmony with his loving-kindness and his purpose to vindicate his name in the foiling of his enemies and their vicious purpose.

Having survived the enemy attack and entered into a cleansed earth, the survivors will witness another deliverance performed before their eyes. That is the deliverance of billions of persons from the grave by a resurrection. With the help of the survivors these will learn of the God of salvation and deliverance. Uncounted numbers of these will express faith and will be able also to “walk before Jehovah in the lands of those living,” attaining finally to everlasting life in perfection on earth as “children of God.” (Rom. 8:21; Rev. 20:11-15) Faith in God is rewarded by preservation, and such preservation leads to everlasting life.

You Must Exersise Faith Not Just Claim You Have It.

Answer 11

I'm not sure. If you say that you believe in God, then you should believe in the Bible. The Bible says that we are not saved by anything that we can do (be nice, go to church, help people) we are saved by grace, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins. His work. That way no one can boast except Him. JW's seem to think that you can work your way there.

Different beliefs, different religion.
