Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses teach That Your Children Will Die, and Not Have a...

...Resurrection If ...? You do not become a Jehovah's Witness.

They teach that during times of Judgment of the world, like the flood, and what is coming now, that if you do not become a Jehovah's Witness, and bring your children up as Jehovah's Witnesses, they will die at armageddon, and it will be the fault of the parents, and there will NOT be a resurrection of these people....This is one of the main reasons for the mass of disassociation's from their "Organization".

As a Christian, I believe that Children are innocent of their parents sins, and MANY Christains, with MANY Children, that are NOT Jehovah's Witnesses are putting their Faith in Jesus Christ...are they telling us that we are all doomed, permanently by God? If so, How do they justify this absurd teaching?
 
It is a privilege to bring forth children, but with that privilege goes responsibility. The Bible shows that God places full responsibility for minor children on their parents. To his own people, God stated through the prophet Moses: “I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the malediction; and you must choose life in order that you may keep alive, you and your offspring, by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him.” (Deut. 30:19, 20) By the course that they pursued, the Israelites would choose either life or death for both themselves and their children.

We cannot evade the fact that children either benefit or suffer as a result of what their parents do. If a parent is hardworking, loving and devoted to God, the children will benefit greatly. But if he is lazy or a drunkard, can he rightly expect God to shield his children from the effects of his wrong course? Is God obligated to take over the responsibility of the parent or assign it to someone else so that no suffering comes to his offspring? Would it be consistent for God to cooperate with such a man in an evasion of his responsibility? Obviously not.

The Canaanite parents could have chosen life for themselves and their children. Rahab did; so did the inhabitants of Gibeon and three other Canaanite cities. They recognized that the true God was guiding Israel, and so they took their stand with them. For this, they and their children were spared. (Josh. 2:1-21; 6:25; 9:3-21) Others could have done the same, but they refused. In so doing they chose death for themselves and their offspring.

The parents that lived in the Days of Noah had the opportunity of choosing life for themselves and their children, but they refused. So too the parents who lived in Sodom and Gomorrah.

God has a standard for all people to live by. He has the right to say who lives and who dies. It is not up to each individual to choose what to believe is the truth and what is not. That was the lie that Satan told Eve. People have been falling for it ever since.
 
JWs aren't Christian they always have been a cult.
They are sad people who don't believe in celebrations of
any sort, they wear black clothing and think they might be saved if
they go door to door on Saturday mornings. I don't know how anyone would be attracted to that sort of cult but they have a few that do. If you read Wiki on JWs the guy that started their faith was just a minister off shoot of some other off shoot of Protestism.
I still remember one friend saying she joined the JWs because Catholics never read or hear about the Bible, odd that since the readings each day are from the Bible usually from both Testatments. I just think she was just not paying attention.
 
You answered the question yourself in the last sentence.

Watchtower theology is nonsense and absurd teaching - why are you listening to false teachers?
