What happened inbetween?

I used to ask my elder dad: What about those who lived inbetween the bible days, and when the witnesses started?

The WTS teaches that no one will survive unless they are a witness. They may dance around that issue with a "wordly" person, but, that really is the way they teach.

So we have the people talked about in the bible, and then we go until the very end of the 1800's. According the WTS, what happened to these millions if not billions of people? Will they not get "everlasting life on earth" because they were not witnesses?

Not fair, when we had to do all the WTS crap!

I thought they said that everyone who ever lived will be reserected except adam and eve and maybe the nephilim?The scripture does say All the dead will be resurected ,the righteous to life and the wicked to judgement.

Watchtower 2/15/1983 page 12 You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth-But How? ***
A third requirement is that we be associated with Gods channel, his organization. God has always used an organization. For example, only those in the ark in Noahs day survived the Flood, and only those associated with the Christian congregation in the first century had Gods favor. (Acts 4:12) Similarly, Jehovah is using only one organization today to accomplish his will. To receive everlasting life in the earthly Paradise we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it.
Watchtower 11/15/1981 pages 16, 17 'Stay Awake and Keep Your Senses'
3Any person who wants to survive into Gods righteous new order urgently needs to come into a right relationship with Jehovah and His earthly organization now.

Bottom line... If you are dead, then they think you will be resurrected... if you are alive, you MIGHT make it through Armageddon, assuming you are a Jehovah's Witness in good standing.

OK everyone... on the count of three drink the cool-aid to ensure that you will make it into the new system!

Elsewhere I see you really have reached the dark side lol .I was just thinking tho since everyone that is destroyed in the great tribulation and at armageddon wouldn't they too be resurected and be subject to the second death or life ? I also heard the witnesses say that at death all your sins are foregiven.Jesus said there is only one unforegiveable sin which is speeking against the spirit .I suspect that to mean in a way that satan does in calling God a liar.Perhaps you have somemore WT quotes on the subject?

Using Jesus' parable of the "wheat and the weeds," the assertion 
		is made that there were always

a few of the anointed "wheat class" 
		on the earth over the last 20 centuries, even though surrounded

by 
		an army of Christendom "weeds."

Approx 40,000 anointed were around in 1935, and there must have 
		been at least a few thousand

in the first century, so say that leaves 
		100,000 anointed to cover the bases from the years 135-1935.

That's averages to 56 living anointed ones born every year during
		 that time, and given a lifespan

of 40 years, an average of some 
		2,000 anointed on the face of the planet at any one time.

Now, the world population is estimated to be 200,000,000 in the
		 year 1 AD and 500,000,000 in

1650 AD, so the average population
		 was 350,000,000 during that period.

So there was an average of 1 anointed per 175,000 people for the
		 intervening 1800 years.

Today, there are 6,000,000,000 people and 8,000 anointed, 
		or 1 anointed per 750,000 people.

Looks like the weeds are winning.
