Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 144,000 will go to heaven

Answer: Belief

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the "anointed" are a chosen group of 144,000 who will go to heaven and be co-rulers with Christ. It is believed that membership of this chosen group began during the time of Jesus and has continued to be selected into the 21st Century.
2. Consider that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are One

Answer: Rumor

Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in a Trinity. They do believe that God is named Jehovah after Psalm 83:18 in the King James Version. Jesus is the Son of God and the Holy Spirit is a separate entity God uses.
3. Will not accept a blood transfusion

Answer: Belief

Jehovah's Witnesses cite scriptures like Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 17:10; and Acts 15:28,29 as an admonishment from God to "abstain from blood". They will not eat items like blood sausage nor accept a blood transfusion even under life and death surgeries.
4. Celebrate birthdays

Answer: Rumor

Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate or accept gifts on their birthdays. Birthday feasts were linked to pagan festivals and the only two birthday celebrations in the Bible ended tragically. The Bible speaks of Egypt's Pharoah and King Herod's birthday parties where people were killed for amusement at the celebration.
5. Were named Jehovah's Witnesses in the 19th Century

Answer: Rumor

Charles Taze Russell established a Bible study group called the International Bible Students Association in the early 1870s in Pennsylvania. In the early 1880s, Russell established the Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society. But it wasn't until 1931 that the second president of the Water Tower Society, Joseph Franklin Rutherford, established the official name of Jehovah's Witnesses.
6. Consider that Jesus is Savior and the Son of God

Answer: Belief

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jehovah sent his only son, Jesus, to Earth as a perfect human, and allowed Jesus to perform the ultimate sacrifice and give up his human form by dying as a ransom sacrifice for all humans. By Jesus' sacrifice, mankind had the hope of forgiveness by God by showing repentance. accepting Jesus' gift, and faithfully serving Jehovah.
7. Believe that only Jehovah's Witnesses will be saved

Answer: Rumor

According to their interpretation of the Bible, after Armageddon (Judgment Day), God will be resurrecting both the "righteous and the unrighteous". This means that Jehovah's Witnesses believe that millions of non-JW's will be given an opportunity to live in paradise in the New Kingdom.
8. Celebrate the Memorial of Christ's death

Answer: Belief

The only major celebration that Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate annually is the Memorial of Jesus Christ's death. This typically occurs after sunset around the end of March or early April around the time of the Jewish Passover festival. The Memorial is held at their Kingdom Halls.
9. Typically vote conservatively

Answer: Rumor

Jehovah's Witnesses are apolitical and practice neutrality. They believe the only one governing us is God and his Kingdom. This apolitical belief system has often led to persecution in countries like Germany during the time of Hitler, where JW's were sent to concentration camps for their neutrality.
10. Women cannot be elders

Answer: Belief

While woman are respected in the organization and are actively preaching door-to-door, they are not permitted to be elders or ministerial servants in the congregations nor serving on the governing body. Women have held prominent positions as administrators and researchers at their official headquarters.
