After armagedon, when will people be reserected?
The first thing to do is clean up the earth.
Like an elder told us, we can't resurrect people in a dump.
So the JW's will have to clean up a portion of the earth, then people will resurrect there first I guess.
An elder also said, people won't resurrect to live in tents !!!

Let us not forget both domesticated and wild animals that survive armageddon will be fighting for the same food that the JW's will need to live. I wonder who would win in a battle over that last bowl of JW get-together potato salad?. lol
Whats the plan? There isnt one! (at least not one that the rank and file know about)
Any question is answered by "We can safely leave it to Jehovah" or "Would you rather be among the ones who won't live to find out"
The attitude is summed up by this article . It was discussing the ressurrection, but you get the idea.

Is This Life All There Is?" chap.20pp.176-177ForWhomWillResurrectionBringBenefits?***In our dealings with fellowmen we do not expect every detail to be spelled out, do we? For example, if you were invited to a banquet, you would not ask the one extending the invitation: ‘Where will all the people sit? Are you prepared to cook for so many people? How can I be sure you will have enough serving utensils and dishes?’ To ask such questions would be an insult, would it not? No one would think of saying to a host: ‘First convince me that I will enjoy myself.’ Having the invitation and knowing its source should be sufficient for one to be confident that things will go well.
Really, no one would appreciate being called upon to explain or prove each statement that he makes. Let us say that an acquaintance described an experience in saving a person from drowning. If he was a respected friend, we would not ask him to prove that he actually did the things he described. To require this would show lack of confidence and trust. It would be no basis for building and maintaining a friendship. Obviously, then, one who would not accept God’s promise of a resurrection without first having every detail clarified could never be counted as His friend. God accepts as his friends only those who exercise faith, who trust his word. (Hebrews 11:6) He provides abundant evidence on which to base such faith, but he does not force people to believe by providing and proving every single detail so that faith is unnecessary.
Thus the absence of certain details serves to test people as to what they are at heart. There are those who have a high opinion of themselves and their own pet ideas, and who follow a course of independence.
Well I thought we were all gonna get given bulldozers - we can go down to Asda to fill up on fuel. Someone can work out how to make the pumps work even tho all the electronic data behind debit / credit cards has been destroyed. Maybe we wil get a kind of company credit card off Jehovah that still works. So the fuel pumps will work.
So we will bulldoze everything. Thats gonna take a week or so. We can live off the food in the supermarkets that week. Then we can start growing our own. We might have to use John Innes No 3 fertilizer to make it grow a bit quicker, cos really, were gonna need fresh food after week 2, although we can still eat the tinned spam. God will see to it that it doesnt turn us queer.
Week 1 we can look round for a real nice house to live in. I guess we wont bulldoze everything, just the council estates and blocks of flats. Will the stuff still be left in peoples wardrobes and drawers? I hope so cos I really love snooping round and looking at other peoples stuff. Plus I might find a really nice pair of earrings l like.
Then week 3ish after the food starts growing all our loved ones will start popping up. They can come and live with us in the mansion we bagged. Plenty of room for a couple of generations. We can put the great great greats in the shed - they wont mind cos they probably lived in a shack when they were alive.
We wont notice but our clothes will start melting away and all the stuff in the wardrobes of the houses that we didnt bulldoze will just disappear. The weather will get warmer so we dont spend all day shivering and wondering why. We will unnacountably lose our desire for a bacon sandwich, and instead we will crave a carrot salad, and we will get real friendly with the pigs. The pig will lie down with the lamb. We wont want shepherds pie anymore either. We might have to ration the carrots tho cos we will be in competition with the lions for them.
Its all gonna work out, guys, I dont know what you are stressing about.
