Botox, i'm a bit familiar with them and they aren't 100%. how do i know this? their doctrines change over time. without reading the article, i do believe they have a pretty good grasp of hell and death. having said that, they have some serious false prophet issues going on. i had a discussion with a JW and he flat out lied to me - i understand they teach it is OK to lie to the "heathen." i guess that made me a "heathen." -lol- that's not to say that some people in the JW church aren't nice folks because some are. i'm also not saying that a JW can't be a christian (one who has god's spirit). i simply have no way of knowing what god is doing and i have a difficult enough time dealing with my own life that i don't have time to analyze everyone else's life. as for being a true church organization with divine knowledge given directly from god - not even close. don't they believe that michael and jesus are one and the same, too?

No soup for you! Another bunch of F`ing nuts! How many slots are left? ========================= Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that only 144,000 people will go to heaven. God chooses these 144,000 individuals, the process began with the first century Christians and was completed in the year 1935. Of course from 1879 (the year the Watchtower started) till 1935 only faithful Jehovah’s Witnesses were chosen for this special role. All faithful Jehovah’s Witnesses not chosen to be among the 144,000 elite that go to heaven (those joining the Watchtower after 1935) will spend eternity on earth. All other people on the earth will be destroyed at war of Armageddon here on earth. This would also include any Jehovah's Witnesses who has been disfellowshipped or is otherwise unfaithful to the Watchtower and has not worked his or her way back into the good graces of the Watchtower by the time of Armageddon. There are of course many holes in this theory and if this is your first exposure to this teaching you are probably in a state of disbelief. This is however a Watchtower teaching accepted by six million Jehovah’s Witnesses. The purpose of this article is to take a realistic look at this theory. First, on what is this theory based? The Watchtower has come to this conclusion based on Revelation 7:1-9 yada yada
