Does anyone know exactly what Jehovahs Witnesses believe what happens after Armageddon?
I’m trying to read about it and get clarity.
So Armageddon happens. Non believers see ya. Earth cleansed.
144,000 souls get to be in Heaven eventually.
Now—do all believers get to have 1,000 years on new clean Earth to try and make that 144,000 cut? Or are they already up there when this 1,000 years starts. What happens after the 1,000 years? Is the 144,000 already spoken for but I can like bump someone out if I’m good enough?
Dude I work with is a Jehovahs Witness. He's totally cool about it. Keeps to himself in regards to his religion but is happy to talk about it if you ask him. I'm off work until Tuesday but can email him your question if you would like. Let me know.
Side note. Here is a shitty thing. Maybe not to him but I feel it's shitty (in an "unfortunate" way).
He doesn't celebrate birthdays. If as a group we say we are going out to/for lunch/dinner/drinks for someone's birthday, he won't join us. That's not a huge deal but it would be nice if he would join us.
Moving on.... At work we receive two bonuses per year. A "small" one in December and a "large" one in March. We have a company party in December. Well, the December bonus and party were often referred to as the Christmas bonus and Christmas party. He refuses to acknowledge nor celebrate anything Christmas. Here is where is gets funky to me.... He would accept the bonus
but refused to attend the party.
