How Good is Good Enough?

When I first studied with Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1972, I was shocked when they told me that only a small percentage of Christians will ever go to heaven and that all others will live on a paradise earth.

Specifically, the Watchtower teaches that the battle of Armageddon is just around the corner, and only those whom Jehovah deems worthy will survive that battle. Those worthy survivors will join those deemed worthy of resurrection in living in a near-paradise conditions during Christ’s millennial kingdom on earth.

This provides you with an opportunity to discuss with the Witnesses their feelings about their status during Armageddon and the coming millennial kingdom. Continue reading

God Has Only One Flock, Not Two

The Watchtower teaches a two-class salvation system.

It says there’s a “little flock” (Luke 12:32) of 144,000 anointed Christians who will be resurrected in spirit form and rule with Jesus from heaven.

Series Summary

When I began this “Watchtower Misconceptions About Jesus” series, I said:

“We’ll look at what the Watchtower teaches about Jesus, in what ways they are in error, and how we can get through to Jehovah’s Witnesses regarding what the Bible actually says about him.”

I hope I have successfully achieved that goal.

This has been my longest blog series to date.

It’s certainly possible that you weren’t able to get to all the posts, and you might have lost track of some that were especially meaningful to you.

For those reasons, I have decided to conclude the series by giving you an outline which includes the titles to each of the posts along with links so you can access them easily.

I hope you will find it helpful. Continue reading
