Jehovah's Witnesses: & the 144,000...Heavenly Class

#exjwsthink #jehovah #jehovahswitness #exjw

Former Jehovah's Witness elder/bethelite is discussing his own personal experience about what he knows about the practices and policies of the Watchtower, Bible & Tract Society.

In this video, we use critical thinking to examine the teaching of Jehovah’s Witnesses where they state that the Biblical reference of 144,000 people that will go to heaven is a literal number. According to the Watchtower, there has only been the Heavenly Calling for anyone who became a Christian from the 1st century up to the 19th century. We demonstrate that if this teaching is true, it means that Jesus Christ had less than 144,000 disciples following him from Pentecost of 33 C.E. up to the 19th century. But you have to ask the “critical thinking question” is this teaching supported by historical records?
We demonstrate how the Watchtower uses historical records and data discussing how individuals became Christians throughout the years. However, when the number of people outnumbers their literal 144,000 teaching, they changed their opinion about those people, thus referring to them as professed Christians.
