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 / / 0 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

Who Will Be Resurrected When?

September 22, 2026 / / 0 Comments

Although Christians believe that people have souls that survive physical death, this is not the resurrection.

The resurrection will be a reuniting of soul and body that will take place in the end times.

So far as we know, no one other than Jesus Christ has been resurrected yet.

But the Watchtower disagrees. Continue reading

Dealing with the “Invisible Jesus” Argument

September 15, 2026 / / 0 Comments

In an effort to prove that Jesus was resurrected as a spirit creature, the Watchtower notes that Acts 10:41 says, “He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.”

Based on this, it asks, “Why did not others see him too? Because he was a spirit creature and when, as angels had done in the past, he materialized fleshly bodies to make himself visible, he did so only in the presence of his disciples.”[1] Continue reading
