Question
I am very interested to hear what the beliefs are of a Jehovah Witness. How are they different from Catholics or Lutherans? And I also have a question about the nuns habits. Why do some wear white ones and others have all black? Is it determined by age and experience? Thanks!
Dear Nichole:
Some of their main teachings are:
● hell is the grave
● the wicked will be annihilated
● the Trinity is pagan
● a Trinitarian believes Jesus is the person of the father.
● Jesus is not deity but merely Michael the archangel, the first and greatest creation of Jehovah God.
● only 144,000 can be “born again” and will go to heaven
● and most JWs will not go to heaven but instead reside on paradise earth.
I don't know about the color of nuns habits.
