  asking jehovah’s witnesses to interpret specific passages is a great way to demonstrate their interpretive abuse.

  got any clear examples?.

  JWs: 144,000 in Revelation is not ALWAYS a literal number

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recently realized something interesting about jw theology and thought i'd share it with the rest of the class: as most of us know, a distictive facet of watchtower/jw theology is the concept that the 144,000 in revelation chapters 7 and 14 is a literal number.

  thus, the witnesses believe that exactly 144,000 humans will be resurrected to heaven to rule with jesus christ, while the rest of the witnesses will populate a restored paradise earth.. they also teach that the 24 elders in revelation represent the 144,000 kings and priests in heaven.

  so, when rev.

  What are some of the more exceptional self-authenticating claims made by Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let's start the ball rolling with two connected claims.. the religion of jehovah’s witnesses is the one true religion.

  all other religions are satanic, including all the churches of christendom..

  (apologies for the typo in the title.

  "JEHOVAH'S" witnesses: How could WE get the name so wrong????

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the "slave's" understanding of the scriptures must be correct, so here's a clarification: ©.

  (matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for jehovah's sake, for a witness..... (mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for jehovah's sake, for a witness to them.

  (luke 24:47, 48) .

  The focus of the whole bible is Jesus.....thats why we are supposed to be christians. The mideaval name of Jehovah was created by some lonely monk.

  https://youtu.be/7xumqjq3zfc?si=ivcg96t4dtgze4ft.

  so this is from the brand new watchtower study edition of june 2025 which has just been posted on jw.org .under the title: modestly accept what you do not know, a let’s read paragraphs in question 4 &5: “read matthew 24:36. we do not know when the end of this system of things will come.

  even jesus, while on earth, did not know the ‘day and hour.’ he later told the apostles that jehovah, who is the great timekeeper, keeps the timing of certain events ‘in his own jurisdiction,’ or authority.

  Is WT Teachig on Hell Biblical?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i guess you could say jesus was the first christian, since he was the christ.

  and as the first christian, jesus spoke more about hell that any other biblical figure.

  but, he is also the figure that said that he didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

  Its very easy to disregard the reality of hell this side of the grave....dont ignore all the scriptures that say how awful hell is. Once you die, you will not be able to come back and warn your loved ones.

  JW Writing Committee has a dilemma with Stephen's prayer

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  (acts 7:59, 60) "and they went on casting stones at stephen as he made appeal* and said: “lord jesus, receive my spirit.” then, bending his knees, he cried out with a strong voice: “jehovah, do not charge this sin against them.” and after saying this he fell asleep [in death].

  " *or, “invocation; prayer.” nwt reference bible).

  w59 2/1 p. 96 - jesus had taught his followers that the father authorized him to raise others to life.
