Who Will Be Resurrected and Who Won’t?

October 27, 2026 / / 0 Comments

Who does the Watchtower believe will be resurrected?

In Chapter 7 of its study book, What Does the Bible Really Teach? , the Watchtower states (paragraph 17): “Who will be resurrected? Jesus said that “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.”

But just three paragraphs later, it says some won’t be resurrected after all: “Does this mean that every human who ever lived will be resurrected? No… Jehovah…will never resurrect those whom he judges to be wicked and unwilling to change.”

This gives us an opportunity to show the Witnesses the unreliability of the Watchtower. Continue reading

Answering Watchtower Questions About Heaven

October 20, 2026 / / 0 Comments

Because the Watchtower teaches that the great crowd will live on a paradise earth and that only 144,000 anointed ones will go to heaven, Jehovah’s Witnesses like to stump Christians with questions we haven’t thought of regarding our final destination.

Their purpose is to get us to doubt what we believe and make the Watchtower teachings more credible.

We need to anticipate these questions and be prepared to respond. Continue reading

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.

Notice that they have hopscotched you from one part of the Bible to another, asserting without proof that all of these verses are referring to the same group. Continue reading

Who Didn’t Go to Heaven?

October 6, 2026 / / 2 Comments

When I studied with Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1972, they shocked me by telling me that neither King David nor John the Baptist went to heaven when they died.

That was their way of silencing me and turning me into a passive student of the Watchtower’s two class salvation teaching that only Jesus and 144,000 Christians will ever go to heaven. Continue reading

The Resurrection: Where?

September 29, 2026 / / 0 Comments

The Watchtower teaches that the resurrection of the dead will be to two separate and distinct locations:

  1. Jesus and an “anointed” group of 144,000 Christian witnesses of Jehovah will be resurrected in spirit form and live in heaven. They will rule as kings and priests over the earth but will never come there physically. Most of them have died and are in heaven now in spirit form.
  1. Everyone else who is raised from the dead will be resurrected in bodily form and will live on the earth, which will then be a paradise. This group will never go to heaven.

But let’s look at what the Bible says about this. Continue reading
