what about man boobs?

If a husband, wife and three young children die in a car accident, who will the children live with in
paradise since according to Watchtower doctrine, the mom and dad will not be married in the
resurrection
Well my dear brother, you must realise that Jehovah did not cover every detail in how things will be carried out in the New System. Just as the fatherless boys and girls were cared for under the Jewish system of things, Jehovah will also care for those children with no parents in the coming system of things.

Are aborted fetuses resurrected?
They already answered this one in a QFR from quite a while back. The answer is "No" - something about them never having the "breath of life", therefore they were never "souls", or some such absurd extrabiblical tommyrot.
You could probably find in a search of the WT-CD.
I want to say it was 20 or more years ago. They have scrupulously avoided the topic ever since.
Yeah But!!! Abortion is wrong because you would be killing a soul, life. Life starts at inception. No wonder why they have avoided the topic, it opens up to many other questions... My Questions was: If Jehovah provides angels (by way of JW's calling) at peoples houses that are on the verge of killing themselves or something on that note, why then can't he prevent "Faithful" JW's from being harmed/killed now? I will give example to explain my feelings. There was a Circuit Overseer his wife, and another couple on vacation in Spain or somewhere... The car they were driving was rear-ended and the two wifes were killed. Now, why would a loving god REWARD the brothers for all their faithful/hard work with the deaths of their wifes in this system only to be promised with the wonderful resurrection in the new system and they cannot be with their wives. How loving is it really to have your memory of the former things to be wiped out. How loving is it to torment parents with the idea that they might live forever but not have their "unfaithful children" along with them. This is not LOVE.

Where does Jehovah store all the memories of those who die? They make it sound like he has some huge computer bank in the heavens where all our "information" is kept. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, heh?

Why are there no pictures of the inside of the beautiful homes in the pictures in the Watchtower that show what paradise will be like? It is because there will be no refrigerator, electric stove, diswasher, washing machine and dryer....
Good question. Electricity (Or the lack thereof) is only the tiniest tip of the iceberg

Why can't Jehovah's chosen people write some religious music that doesn't sound like fingernails on a chalkboard?
And the answer can't be "Well music's not that important." Oh no. How many times have we had it crammed down our throats how important it is to be there on time for the song since it's "Part of our worship".
I swear most of those songs make two cat's fighting sound melodious by comparison.

I think the standard JW answer to all of these would be "we don't really know the details, but Jehovah will set everything straight. We'll just have to wait and see!" It doesn't really answer the question, but if I were asked those questions as a dub that's what I would have said.

Dorktacular,
The answer is that the men who have become JWs were changed personality-wise. They didn't know "the truth" when they were doing all those things, and they repented of their sins. A child who was born into the JWs knows better. There is even a scripture that says it is far worse to know the truth and sin than to sin ignorantly or something like that. Now this killer dude probably KNEW what he was doing was wrong, but anything you'd done before you were a JW doesn't count, because baptism "washes away your sins." If you get baptized and THEN sin, it's a lot worse.
Really, this is Jehovah's Witnesses 101 stuff here. I'm surprised no one gave you an answer.
