According to the Jehovah's Witnesses the 144,000 mentioned in the Bible is a select group of individuals in their organization, and they and they alone are the only ones who will be allowed to enter heaven and be born-again as well.

According to the Bible this is clearly NOT true. There is no mention of the 144,000 being members of the Jehovah's Witness organization and no mention that this group will be the only one allowed to enter heaven and the only ones who are allowed to be born-again.

What the Bible really tells us about the 144,000 is the following:

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000, from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000, from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
(Revelation 7:1-8)

According to God's Inspired and Sacred Holy Word, the Holy Bible, the 144,000 that the Jehovah's Witnesses claim will be members of their organization only, is not true. The 144,000 mentioned in the Bible will be members of the Twelves Tribes of Israel. There is also no mention that these 144,000 will be the only ones who are allowed to enter heaven or be born-again.

These critical errors in doctrine and theology are what happen when you allow a group of men to do all of the thinking for you and interpret Biblical teaching with no criticism or questioning to be allowed, as the Jehovah's Witnesses do. They are encouraged to trust these men blindly and not do any research on their own\, and take everything they say as coming from God Himself.

The Bible clearly tells us and warns us:

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
(Acts 17:11)

My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge....
(Hosea 4:6)

Just because someone tells you something, even if it is your minister or another church leader, do not follow it blindly. God gave you a brain to use and to question and research things for yourself, to see if t what is being said or taught is true or not.
