Will Only a Little Flock of 144,000 Go to Heaven?

October 13, 2026 / / 0 Comments

In order to show you that there are two classes of Christians, Jehovah’s Witnesses will have you read Luke 12:32, where Jesus says, “Have no fear, little flock, for your Father has approved of giving you the Kingdom.”

Then they go immediately to Revelation 7:4, which says, “And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:”

They will then take you to Revelation 14:1, which states: “Then I saw, and look! the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.”

They will say that the 144,000 refers to “spiritual Israel,” the “anointed class” of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

One way to challenge this dogma is to ask the Witnesses about scripture passages which show that Jesus’ invitation and promises are for everyone who will receive him, not just a select group of 144,000. Continue reading

Challenging Watchtower Assumptions

March 9, 2021 / / 4 Comments

27 Challenge WT AssumptionsJehovah’s Witnesses aren’t allowed to question the Watchtower’s doctrines and assumptions.

Because of this, we have to do it for them.

As we do so, we have to walk a fine line so as not to come across as antagonistic. The best way to do this is as students who are seeking to understand the details of Watchtower teachings.

Here are two examples of how to do this. Continue reading
