Jehovah's Witnesses and Death

My dad passed away this last week and right away I began to hear the rhetoric of the Jehovah's Witnesses starting. First I was told if I wanted to see my dad again in the resurrection that I would need to make a choice in my faith. Then close friends of the family began really pushing meeting attendance. I began thinking this isn't what it means to grieve the loss of a loved one.


This week we dig into how Jehovah's Witnesses view death and the afterlife.


We have transitioned over from using the New World Translation to fully using the KJV unless the scripture is directly quoted from a source of The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.
