    According to the apostle John’s vision, "scrolls were opened," and "the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds." Are these scrolls the record of people’s past deeds? No, the judgment will not focus on what people did before they died. How do we know that? The Bible says: "He who has died has been acquitted from his sin." (Romans 6:7) Those resurrected thus come to life with a clean slate, so to speak. The scrolls must therefore represent God’s further requirements. To live forever, both Armageddon survivors and resurrected ones will have to obey God’s commandments, including whatever new requirements Jehovah might reveal during the thousand years. Thus, individuals will be judged on the basis of what they do during Judgment Day.

    Judgment Day will give billions of people their first opportunity to learn about God’s will and to conform to it. This means that a large-scale educational work will take place. Indeed, "righteousness is what the inhabitants of the productive land will certainly learn." (Isaiah 26:9) However, not all will be willing to conform to God’s will. Isaiah 26:10 says: "Though the wicked one should be shown favor, he simply will not learn righteousness. In the land of straightforwardness he will act unjustly and will not see the eminence of Jehovah." These wicked ones will be put to death permanently during Judgment Day.—Isaiah 65:20.

    dissed, you didn't question...ok. I can also beleive the no doubts as far as doctrine...however, as far as the org being what it claims? Every single teaching? It seems to me just about all have this kind of doubt, perhaps not even realzing it?

    I think that the WT needs to read ALL of Romans, or at least ALL of chapter 6.

    LOL Romans 14 would do them good- the use of one's conscience. Romans 8 destroys their 2 class bs.

    ""Scrolls" will be opened. These will be instructions published to help resurrected humans to perform those "deeds" that will qualify them for everlasting life. (Revelation 20:12) The educational facilities and programs in the "new earth," being directed by Jehovah and his Messianic King, will be far advanced in comparison with anything Satan’s world has ever offered."

    I think the GB/WT have trodden a careful path in not claiming perfection in their "understanding" .

    It allows the average Dub to make the feeling that all is not right go to the back of their mind, combine this with with cliches like "wait on Jehovah" and " Noo lite will come" etc. and you have a recipe for not examining anything, teachings or grandiose unsubstantiated claims to be chosen by Jesus to look after His belongings.

    I think any Dub with two sparking brain cells realises all is not as it seems,so has some "Apostate in them". but CLICK in comes Cognitive Dissonance and out goes any rational, analytical thinking. Shame.

    Love
