Jehovah witness beliefs about heaven11/4/2023 They teach that hell is something that Satan made up. They believe that the “wicked” will be consumed in judgment and annihilated. Therefore, there cannot be a conscious eternal punishment for the “unbelievers”. There is no consciousness at all after death. JW’s believe that when a person dies they completely cease to exist. “The vast international company of ‘other sheep’ who do not partake, will enjoy everlasting life on the Paradise earth.” ( Watchtower, March 15, 1983, p.9) Non-existence “The rest of faithful humankind will live on earth as the subjects of these rulers.” ( Watchtower, February 15, 1984, p. “These dedicated, baptized ‘other sheep’ of the ‘great crowd’ have not been begotten to be God’s spiritual sons, with a heavenly inheritance.” ( Holy Spirit, 1976, p. Those that make up the “great crowd” will live in the “Paradise earth” and serve the 144,000 in Heaven that make up the “little flock”. … The same titles are applicable to the Church as his body.” (Watchtower, November 1881, p. “The titles, Mighty God, and Everlasting Father … are very appropriate to Our Lord Jesus. … Now we appear like men, and all die naturally as men, but in the resurrection we will rise in our true character as Gods.” ( Watchtower, December 1881, p. … We are divine beings – hence all such are Gods. “At the celebration of the memorial of Christ’s death, only those who make up ‘the Israel of God’ should partake of the emblems of bread and wine.” ( Watchtower, March 15, 1983, p.9) “The Bible shows that only a limited number of persons, a ‘little flock’, will go to heaven.” ( Watchtower, February 15, 1984, p. They will be gods like Jesus Christ is a god. These 144,000 are what the JW’s say are the truly born-again children of God. JW’s believe that only 144,000, called the “little flock”, will populate Heaven. JW’s believe that there are three classes of people the “little flock” which after death will reside in Heaven, the “great crowd” that will reside on Earth and the rest that will be non-existent.
