      JW also, all the open spots for heaven have already been assigned. Everyone’s going to hell.

        I love the idea that God wants to welcome someone to heaven, they deserve it, they’ve been a good person all their lives, but…
        Whoops, sorry, we’re overbooked. Looks like it’s eternal damnation for you, what a bummer!

          I heard the JW’s had to hotpatch their lore. Now they just say that there are 144k leaders/elite who will be in charge of the others who get saved. The church membership got too big and the tithing, I’m guessing, was too nice to tell people they’re outta luck.

              They’ve claimed to know when the end of the world is coming multiple times.

              And after each date came and went uneventfully, they have become increasingly quiet about those predictions.
