Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that only 144,000 people within their own belief will go to heaven. There are more than 144,000 people within the religion, so how do you become one of them? Well, you are to do good deeds and make sure that you play the role of a good Witness. You do this by going by the book and doing as many good things towards the religion as possible. The rest of the people that were not worthy of being chosen to go to heaven will be created into spirits and will be resurrected and live on earth after the return of Christ, while the people that were chosen will be living on earth as themselves with Christ.
If one is to pass away before Armageddon, which they believe is when the world will end, all Jehovah’s Witnesses and non believers of their religion will be let into heaven and will get a second chance to live on earth after the coming of Christ. If you do not believe in this religion Jehovah’s witnesses believe that you will be executed by Jehovah and will not have the opportunity to receive the second chance believers to get.
Reading about this issue has given me the opportunity to understand why Jehovah’s Witnesses come to your house every Sunday. They are not doing it to bother you but to fulfill their mission as a believer of this religion. It has broadened my thinking, and they are not annoying to me anymore. They are trying to do a good deed for what they believe in, but the common misconceptions society puts upon them plays a role for what they are known for, which is usually looked upon as bothersome.
