Would you join a religion which says everyone who is not a member will be killed by God?

Would you join a religion which you know that statistically if you stay in it long enough, there is a high chance that it will split your family apart?

Would you join a religion which demands that you preach to your neighbours that they are soon going to die if they don’t believe your message?

Would you join a religion which actively discourages education and thinking analytically? Or one which promotes faith and obedience to a group of cult leaders who have no credentials in anything, only a very long track record in failed promises?

Does the prospect of living in a utopia controlled by these seven governors of the religion appeal to you? Men who assert that their religion is the only one chosen by God in 1919, a subject with no basis in any fact. Also with the beliefs held back then, if you believed them now, would bizarrely disqualify you from membership today!

How would you view a religion which prohibits examining scholarly information and only permit research from its own hopelessly biased publications?


That's what you get in Jehovah's Witness land.

A religion that believe 144000 people are going to heaven and there is no payment for wrong deeds on earth. I think atheist would love their religion.

A religion who claim they are more spiritual but they can't be compared to the apostles of Acts. I really would love seeing a clip where they did miracle.


A religion that does not believe or guarantee members of heaven. ooooooh, how, 144000/years on earth. #Trashreligion

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Feel That They Are the Only People Who Will Be Saved?
1.
No. Many millions who lived in centuries past and who weren’t Jehovah’s Witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation. The Bible explains that in God’s promised new world, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” ( Acts 24:15 ) Additionally, many now living may yet begin to serve God, and they too will gain salvation. In any case, it’s not our job to judge who will or won’t be saved. That assignment rests squarely in Jesus’ hands.— John 5:22, 27.
2.Why Have Jehovah’s Witnesses Changed Some of Their Beliefs?
We have always used the Bible as the sole authority for our beliefs, so we have adjusted our beliefs as our understanding of the Scriptures has been clarified.
Such changes are in harmony with the Bible principle stated at Proverbs 4:18 : “The path of the righteous is like the bright morning light that grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.” Just as the rising sun reveals details of a landscape gradually, God grants an understanding of divine truth progressively, in his due time. (1 Peter 1:10-12 ) As the Bible foretold, he has accelerated this process during “the time of the end.”— Daniel 12:4 .
These adjustments in our understanding should neither surprise nor disturb us. Ancient worshippers of God also had mistaken ideas and expectations and needed to adjust their viewpoint.
Moses offered himself as a deliverer for the nation of Israel 40 years ahead of God’s timetable.— Acts 7:23-25, 30, 35.
The apostles failed to understand the prophecy that foretold the Messiah’s death and resurrection.— Isaiah 53:8-12; Matthew 16:21-
23.
Some early Christians had wrong ideas about the timing of “the day of Jehovah.”— 2 Thessalonians 2:1, 2 .
God later corrected their misunderstandings, and we pray that he will continue doing the same for us.— James 1:5 .

So only those non jw who'd lived in the past can have salvation?. The 7billion+ now living who are non Jehovah's witnesses will die?
And only people who are jw are" serve[ing] God"?

This is preposterous.

Have you ever seen the governing body (GB) quote Det 18: 22?
You read what it says and ask yourself why the watchtower don't use that scripture

Det 18:22 When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.’

Watchtower June 2017 pp 15 states

" Even if we do not fully understand or agree with a decision, we will still want to support theocratic order. That is quite different from the way of the world, but it is the way of life under Jehovah’s rulership"

How can one in good conscience agree with the above quote when the writers change their mind sometimes on matters of life and death importance.
An example that comes to mind is this quote from a Jehovah's Witness publication, "...vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood" (The Golden Age, Feb. 4, 1931:293).
Question is, will a Jehovah's Witness follow this no vaccination directive from the watchtower, despite his knowledge that vaccination helps to cure diseases?

It is important to mention that the watchtower has changed its mind on the issue of vaccination, but the point is, will one because of theocratic order obey such a directive that put ones life and family in danger?
