onacruse,
: So, as far as my memory goes, here's how it is, and has always been (corrections welcome):
Welcome!
:1) If you die before Armageddon, JW or not, your chances for a resurrection are basically equal with every human on this planet;
This notion encouraged suicide. Every suicide victim wins.
:2) If you die before Armageddon, and you are a JW, your chances for resurrection are significantly increased, if not assured;
This notion encouraged suicide. Every suicide victim wins. Someone who dies of cancer also wins. This is why dubs are SO happy when a believer or non-believer dies these days. THEY get a resurrection/
:3) If you die during Armageddon (i.e., the avenging angels deliberately destroy you), and you are not a JW, then you are kaput;
This is why suicide is a better option. Resurrection is guaranteed.
: 4) If you die during Armageddon, and you are a JW (i.e., the avenging angels stood back and let you die one of those circumstantial deaths at the hands of Gog and Magog), then you are absolutely assured of a resurrection.
I don't know much about Gog and Maytag, but I think one of them is a thingy that washes shirts and stuff.
: 5) If you are one of the anointed, then you might or might not survive Armageddon...but, in either case, you are absolutely absolutely assured of a resurrection.
Why would one need to "resurrect" another one who is supposed to be immortal by virtue of sipping some wine and eating a cracker and farting from time-to-time as most people who don't sip that wine and don't eat those crackers do themselves?
Farkel, who doesn't understand this stuff Class
