Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus' ascension to heaven occurred invisibly in 33 C.E., as described in The Bible. They do not believe that Jesus ascended to heaven again in 1939 or any other specific date. The reference to 1939 may be associated with a significant event in the history of Jehovah's Witnesses, but it does not relate to Jesus' ascension.

No they don't. Jehovah's Witnesses are not surprised by persecution, since the Bible indicates that Christians would be persecuted, but they do not delight in persecution nor believe that it brings any merit. Most Jehovah's Witnesses today have the hope of living forever on a paradise earth. Only a small number of them living today have received the call to heavenly life. Even this group does not believe that persecution will give them more in heaven.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe that you have to be saved to enter heaven?
Most of Jehovah's Witnesses have absolutely NO DESIREto get to heaven. Our parents never taught us about a need to get to heaven; and we didn't teach our children about needing to get to heaven.When we go from house-to-house, we don't teach people about getting to heaven.We teach others what the Bible says in Psalm 37:11. "The meek" will have a different inheritance. The meek "shall inherit THE EARTH" - - NOT heaven.When we pray the Lord's Prayer -- we DON'T pray to go to heaven; we pray for God's Kingdom TO COME. Then we pray: "Thy will be done ON EARTH, as it is in heaven." Why would we need to go to heaven, if God's will is done on earth, as it is in heaven?True, the Bible does teach about heaven also. Jesus went to heaven. Of course, Jesus had to be 'saved' to get there. Jesus was dead. So Jehovah saved him. Yes Jesus had to be saved. Likewise if God chooses anyone else to be with him in heaven, Jehovah would have to 'save' them. So they would 'have to be saved' as your question asks.But Jehovah's Witnesses are not interested in getting to heaven; and we don't teach it to others; our children included.
