Isn't one of their key beliefs that only 144,000 people will get into heaven?

Seems that with every new person converted, you're lowering your odds.

WHO ARE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES?

The central CORE doctrine of the Watchtower,the reason they came into existence was to proclaim Jesus Christ second coming in 1914.They will now deny that they ever made this claim,that's called bait & switch

The Watchtower is big money, being one of the top 40 New York City Corporations making nearly one billion dollars a year.That’s just from one of their many corporations.They pay no municipal taxes on their buildings,without even one charity to compensate the community.

Most Church's don't pay taxes either,but most mainstream churches are abundant in humanitarian charities.Think if you have ever seen a Jehovah Witness food pantry or soup kitchen for the needy?

For 50 plus years the masthead of the Watchtower,viewed when you opened up to the inside front cover would read as follows:

"This magazine(Watchtower) builds up confidence in the Creators PROMISE of a peaceful and secure "new world" before the generation "that witnessed" the EVENTS OF 1914 passes away"". By their own admission the Watchtowers has published this dogma in hundreds of millions of pieces of their own literature.

They deleted this false Adventist millerite derived prophecy in 1995 because it had FAILED. The Watchtower leadership has "purged" hundreds of thousands of followers over the years for failing to uphold the 1914 (Jesus came to power) loyalty oath to this now defunct dogma.

The Bible clearly warns to turn away from false prophets. -- Danny Haszard Jehovah's Witness X 33 years http://www.freeminds.org

I had to shoo them away from my front door in Garland just yesterday. I told them I definitely didn't need anything they were selling, and then suggested they consider getting real lives.
They looked at me kinda funny when I shut the door on them.
I was proud of myself for being so unusually polite.

I hate door to door salesmen. But if you're going to knock on my door and try to sell me a 'product' (such as any religion) for me to be interested, your product needs to be worth the price you have to pay for it, and actually live up to its performance claims.

You can do what my extremely right-wing aunt used to do... after decades of trying in vain to convert them (-sigh!- bless her little heart).

Take their literature, thank them politely as you are "Late for a meeting" and then hand them the booklet left by the last salesmen as you bid them "Good day."

For such a "Godly" woman, that was pure evil genius.

Till then I didn't think Republicans grokked recycling?
