Big Logical Problem for New JW Beliefs

FusionTheism

There is a huge logical problem for the newer JW doctrines and beliefs:

Watchtower, August 1, 2010, Page 22:

So although Jehovah does not promise that every individual will receive exactly the same opportunity, he does make sure that an opportunity is held out to all honesthearted ones. He will even make sure that those who have never had the occasion to learn about him will be given an opportunityby means of a resurrection to life in a righteous new world.—Acts 24:15.

------------------

But, they still refer to the preaching work as "urgent" and "lifesaving." But why is the preaching work urgent or lifesaving if Jehovah would never eternally destroy any honest-hearted person?

David Splane even brought this point up in his new "1900 years" video on tv.jw.org. He said people at Bethel must not get the idea that the preaching work is not urgent, even though we know Jehovah won't allow honest-hearted ones to be destroyed.

Hold Me-Thrill Me

Br. Splane's alice in wonderland world does not require that he make sense. He is not interested in truth so much as in keeping his place in the Organization. Something Jaracz thought was paramount. This is the only real desire of the GB because they are not 100% sure they are of the anointed.

Fooze - He will even make sure that those who have never hadthe occasion to learn about him will be given an opportunityby means of a resurrection

They used to say this wayyyy back when I was a nipper. Of course, not conforming to Watchtower corporation dogma after armageddon(tm), will mean.....drumroll.......da daaaaaaaaaaaa...GEHENNA. (and other hair dyes).

ctrwtf

Please. Where in any publication is it written that anyone not dedicated and baptized and putting in 15 hours a month is going to survive the big A?

Strange religion.

All honest-hearted people will be okay, but JWs themselves live in constant fear that they won't prove worthy when Armageddon.

Under WT teachings, why is the preaching work urgent? Wouldn't it be better NOT to spread the "good news" of the Watchtower? That way, no one will hear the message and reject it. Since they can't understand the Bible without the "faithful and discreet slave organization" to explain it to them, wouldn't Jehovah will be more likely to give those ignorant people a second chance?

Yes! This is the huge logical jump you need to make to accept the Watchtower line of reasoning. If Jehovah is a God of justice, why do people in some countries get multiple chances to supposedly learn about God and his plans for mankind while people in other countries have never heard of Jehovah? Nevermind that even in countries where JWs are active most have no idea what they believe.

Then you have the fact that those that die beforeArmageddon get resurrected and have first hand proof that God exists, plus a lot of JWs around to explain what he wants, while those that are alive at Armageddon are bird food, it is only an accident of timing that separates them.

What about those who never had an opportunity to hear by the time Armageddon comes?

Will they be destroyed with no resurrection, or will they just get through?

Seems there's a flaw in this logic.

"Jehovah does not promise........."thankfully the gb tells us via watchtower even if they have to update and correct their bs every few years.

Do Jehovah`s Witnesses honestly/seriously believe their were no honest hearted people among all the nations that Jehovah committed genocide against in the Hebrew scriptures ?

When old men ,women ,children ,sometimes virgins ,were put to death with the sword ,and the Israelite`s were commanded not to feel sorry for them , but to spare nobody.?

Their was no opportunity`s given to those people from such a "loving" God .
