I just learned a fun fact.
There are 8.7 million Jehovah Witnesses in the world.
Do each one of them believe they are going to Heaven?
JW teach that only 144,000 make it to Heaven to rule over the rest of us.
That's quite the Eternal Life Lotto! Less than 2% will make it!
Can someone weigh in on this? Why join JW when other religions offer better odds? It seems ot have made sense whent he JW's were inventing their religion, since there were only a few of them, but now it seems peculiar. Thoughts?

I think it is funny that you believe The war in heaven occurred at Rev 6:2 over 100 years ago.

I think it is funny that you believe The war in heaven occurred at Rev 6:2 over 100 years ago.
The prophecy in Daniel 4 shows the exact year it occurred=1914 From the removal of the last king in Jerusalem=607bce- the prophecy says 2520 days-but no king sat on the Gods throne until here-Rev 6:2, so applying a year for a day= 607 + 2520 years= 1914--The ride of the white horse = the war in heaven--Rev 6:4 backs up that prophecy-Peace will be taken from the earth=ww1--Rev 12 explains rev 6:2--the war in heaven and the birth of Gods kingdom( he receives his crown( 6:2)--The JW,s are correct.

Re: Jehovah's Witness
Post #16The prophecy is there in Dan 4--How else could C.T.Russell say in 1879--peace will be taken from the earth in 1914--he was correct. No one else saw it because they are the ones with very little truth and no holy spirit guidance.TheHolyGhost wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 9:12 pmWhen have you all ever been correct about anything?
