About the Study

This study intends to provide guidance to all those who have doubts about the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses, but don’t know how to argue against them.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in hell?

Yes and no.

On the one hand they deny the existence of a hell and have replaced the word “hell” with the term “Gehenna” in their own Bible (“New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures”, 1984). On the other hand, however, there is talk of a “fiery Gehenna” (Matthew 5:22) and of a “Gehenna … where … the fire is not put out” (Mark 9:47-48).
