what a ludicrous doctrine this resurrection nonsense is! what have estimates shown to be the amount of human beings that have died over the last 6 thousand years? 300 billion plus? what a wonderful prospect!

You do realize that Lazarus was not the only person resurrected in the Bible accounts.
Remember Dorcas/Tabitha and Eutychus were resurrected in the first century.
Elijah and Elisha resurrected people in the pre-Christian times.
The WTS suggests that Jesus resurrected his good friend Lazarus so that he would qualify to be of the anointed and be resurrected at a future date to go to heaven because he had died before Jesus presented his sacrifice to God in heaven. Lazarus would have been like John the Baptist.

He empowered some of his devoted servants to perform actual resurrections. The prophet Elijah resurrected the only son of a widow at Zarephath. (1 Ki. 17:21-23) His successor the prophet Elisha raised the only son of a prominent, hospitable woman at Shunem. (2 Ki. 4:8, 32-37) Jesus Christ resurrected the daughter of Jairus, a presiding officer of a synagogue; the only son of a widow at Nain, and his dear friend Lazarus, who had been dead four days. (Mark 5:22, 35, 41-43; Luke 7:11-17; John 11:38-45) At Joppa, the apostle Peter raised Dorcas (Tabitha) from the dead. (Acts 9:36-42) And the apostle Paul resurrected Eutychus after a fatal accident.—Acts 20:7-12.

It seems to me that death before armageddon, not the sacrifice of Jesus forgives sin in their mind. -

Blondie: "Why You Can Believe in a Resurrection "***
P: Of course you can believe all this, but that does not make it true, factual.The Searcher: " Jesus,--- he was the first human resurrected to the real life, as Paul described to Timothy. (1 Timothy 6:19)"
P: Searcher, a good scriptural reason, but even J.C.'s resurrection is not verifiable, it is just a ramification spin of the talking snake fable, and the wt's allegation that the old "anointed" are in the real immortal life, resurrected since 1918 is a fib too, making them co-responsible for the debacle of the FDS teachings since 1919.
*** Wt says that the OS, survivors or resurrected, have the hope of eternal life on paradise earth.P: Of course they can have that hope. hope because of hype.
