Don’t sound like an elder. Only touching the gen&telia can be poernia, and marrying someone while scripturually being married to someone else can be deemed as adultery. The only difference now is that the so viewed adulterous marriage is now viewed as valid by the cong as I understand it. I could be wrong.

Is This New?
by Lost in the fog init is a very long time since i was an elder and the elders textbooks have changed multiple times since then.
going back to when i was an elder, to the best of my knowledge the only way a spouse could divorce from his/her partner was porneia, if that person had sexual relations with a man, woman, child, or beast.
but it had to be proven and that's the dubious 2 witness rule.. in fact, if it was not proven and the innocent party divorced and married someone else, then they could be hauled up in front of a judicial committee and be charged with committing adultery and disfellowshipped!

The Multilocational Jesus
by Smiles inif jesus is now so superpowerful that he can exist at multiple locations simultaneously (e.g., dwelling inside of a true believer and popping into all the best gatherings of two or more peeps in his name) why does jesus bother hiring angels to work gigs?

If Jesus dwells inside of people, why is he apparently not present where only ONE has gathered in his name?
I must confess, brilliant way of putting it.

Christ lives in me
Axiomatically, this is symbolic like saying “God is my throne”.

be reconciled to God NOW?
Christians suffer and die now and some even fall away from the faith:
1 Corinthians 15:22-28 (nwt-E) — For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each one in his own proper order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence. 24 Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. 25 For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet. 26 And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. 27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.

This is the false gospel of the WT. It was unknown to the apostles
says that there is NOW no condemnation for born again believers.
You are incorrect:
“(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were ended.)” Rev 20:5
Adam became a living soul not a dying soul. Humanity NOW is dying due to imperfection and sin. After the 1000 years when humans reach the point of perfection like before Adam sinned and became a dying soul, humans become living souls ( ..and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living person..”)
“Now as soon as the 1,000 years have ended, Satan will be released from his prison, 8 and he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Maʹgog, to gather them together for the war. The number of these is as the sand of the sea.”
These people are not saved, fire comes down from heaven and destroys them. However, those that walk faultlessly will be saved. They won’t die. They will live forever on a paradise earth: “4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more.”
This is not a false gospel. It is God’s word.

No, the bible tells us exactly what will happen to the righteous and unrighteous.
You don’t grasp mentally because we don’t know for sure what the Bible means by righteous and unrighteous first as it relates to those that will and will not be resurrected , so it is a guess.
Note that there is a distinction between unrighteous and the wicked also. The verse does not say that the wicked will be resurrected. That distinction is made by God so we don’t know.
