144,000 going to heaven

You may wonder about other questions, such as:‘If God cares about us, why has he allowed so much evil and suffering throughout history? How can I improve the quality of my family life?’ The Bible gives full and satisfying answers to these and many more questions.

However, many today hesitate to look into the Bible. They see it as a lengthy book that is sometimes hard to understand. Would you like help to find the answers in the Bible? Jehovah’s Witnesses offer two tools that can assist you.
First, the book What Does the Bible Really Teach? is designed to help busy people to examine the Bible’s clear answers to vital questions. The second tool is a free program of home Bible study. Without charge, a friendly neighbor qualified to teach the Bible can come to your home or another convenient location and spend a little time each week discussing the Bible with you. Millions of people the world over have benefited from this program. Many of them have come to this thrilling conclusion:“I have found the truth!”

There is no greater treasure to be found. Bible truth liberates us from superstition, confusion, and morbid fear. It gives us hope, purpose, and joy. Jesus said:”You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”—John 8:32.

Many dismiss Jesus as unworthy of attention because of what professed followers of his have done.‘They dropped an atom bomb on Nagasaki,’ some in Japan would say,‘a city with more Christians than most cities in Japan.’
Yet, would you blame a physician for a patient’s illness if the patient failed to stick to the doctor’s prescription? Obviously not. People of Christendom have long ignored Jesus’ prescription for overcoming their day-to-day problems. So rather than reject Jesus because of so-called Christians, who do not follow his instructions, why not learn something about him for yourself? Look into the Bible, and see who Jesus really is and how he can even change your life.

Is There Any Hope for the Dead?
WHY THE QUESTION ARISES: We want to live, and we want to enjoy life with those we love. It is only natural that we yearn to see our dead loved ones again.
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES: Most people who have died will be resurrected. Jesus promised that “those in the memorial tombs will ... come out.”(John 5:28, 29) In harmony with God’s original purpose, those resurrected as humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth.(Luke 23:43) This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans. The Bible says:“The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”—Psalm 37:29.
See also Job 14:14, 15; Luke 7:11-17; and Acts 24:15.

What is amazing is,that people will read these scriptures and still believe the earth is gonna be destroyed,and you are either gonna be in heaven or hell.The bible clearly states we will reside upon the earth forever.The chosen ones will be ruling with Christ in heaven over the earth.That would be found in Revalations.

I don't know you but by your response I know you either a brother or a sister. Anywhere in the world we are we can know each other, just because we all share the same bible knowledge. What a difference?

You sure do have that right! Do you want to know why they cannot see the truth? 2 Corinthians 4:4...among whom the god of this system of things (KJV of this world)has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.

But to get tne vail removed see 2 Corinthians 3:16  But when there is a turning to Jehovah, the veil is taken away.

Dear "city boy",
That is good to know. Keep up the good work. To be sure Satan will try to discourage you in every way he can. Continue to study the Bible no matter what. From your brief comments you seem to be knowledgable already. If you'd like to contact me my email address is:
poppiejdw@cfl.rr.com

I put my email address out there so anyone who would like to can contact me with any questions about the Bible.

Please note that I changed my Post name from "Truth" to "The truth sets you free" because someone was already using the Post name "Truth".
Have a goodnight.

Truth sets you free wrote:

What has happened to "be careful" aka many names?Have you finally learned some truth that many of the Catholic teachings are rooted in Paganism and are NOT SUPPORTED BY THE BIBLE!
1. Teaching that humans have an immortal soul
2. Teaching the trinity that God Jesus ans the holy spirit are all the same person!
3. That Jesus was born on December 25.
4. That God torments the wicked in a hellfire for eternity.
And the list goes on and on and on and on and on----------

Can you not understand that no one cares to argue with you JW's any more ,you are all idiots when it cames to the Bible, argueing does not profit any one.why don't you just go back to bed!!!

JW teach witness about religion,,,they teach others about what they think is wrong with others believe and say that theirs it the right one...when in fact they never tell people about taking out verses and leaving out words...they say the Catholics changed the word Jehovah to God,,,but at least 20x or more they themselves do not use the word Jehovah because it shows that the trinity is a true word even though it is not used in the bible....and the word say to witness for Me)Me would be Jesus)and they dont witness for Jesus,,,they witness for religion

I've never known of them predicting anything.All I did was post scriptures,did you read them?That was KJ's bible.That wasn't NWT.P.S.,I am not a JW.

Then if i were you and honest about learning the truth ,then i would be doing some research on the JW's orginization before i quoted everything they teach as being from the word of God,and most of all, how they have written thier own bible that no other religon in the world accepts as being the word of God with the exception of theJW's,something to study about ,don't you think?

Then you must really be lost not to know your own organaization did those predictions in the 1940-1950 but didnt get a one right...they probably still do just not as loud and proud....why do they take out those words in 1John when it says the 3 are 1 in heaven...you never have answered that one...and do you tell the people you meet things like that...let me answer for you....no

They answered you,you are just too proud to accept it.Did you read the scriptures I posted?I know the JW's are right whether you do or not.That's your right.But the way most people act toward them,just reenforces the fact I believe they are right.I don't think satan would be working so hard against them if they weren't right.The best thing for anyone to do is study the bible for yourself.

Seriously think about it.....there was a man or a group of people that started this organization, what in the 1850's....so the JW are saying that from all the time up to the 1850's that the word was wrong...now how can that be....so you say that God just let people believe in what was being taught and now has sent us the truth through the JW....why not send it earlier then the 1850's....it just dont make sense...why cant you see that point and then you can figure the rest of the lie out through simple reasoning....but the devil has you blinded bad....you dont have to believe in the trinity or speak in tongues...but you do need to witness for the right person and that would be Jesus....you know the word and it says, noone comes to the Father except through Me....but your mind is so twisted you cant see the truth....so what happened to all those people who blieved the bible and they didnt have a JW bible and the verse in 1John was there and they read it....so God let them beleive a lie....i dont think so.....so use what the JW try to play back on people, use your common sense
