jw doctrine teaches that the 1,000 years of christ corresponds to "judgment day," and everyone who has not already been judged will be resurrected from the dead.
the exceptions would be those who died during the flood, the destruction of sodom and gomorrah, and a few odd individuals.
but that's only the people living today.
Um... did you miss the point or what.
Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it;
I assume every dead human in history is not supposed to fit though the narrow gate nor do they count as few.
there has been much discussion on this board about who actually owns the local kingdom hall.
my former kingdom hall is now up for sale and i had a chance to talk to one of the brothers who is overseeing the sale of the building.
he had some very interesting things to tell.
The watchtower does not own the building they are the sucessor. The local cong owns them. If anything happens the buildings are transfered back to the watchtower (the clauses that decide what goes bak are raitifed by the local cong in there articles of corporation, and they all vote unanimously in favor of the watchtower).
This is to keep lawsuits from ever getting to the watchtower. THe only stuff owned by them is the big stuff brance offices, factories, offices, and assembly halls. THat why when people say the watchtower did this to me or did that to me I am confused because unless they worked are bethel or was acosted at an assembly site the watchtower has never came in contact with them.

(Matthew 7:13-14) 13 "Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.
Who said the paradise earth was the narrow gate? Anyone remember that second purging in the 1000 years?
throughout my teen years when my doubt was high and my hesitancy to commit was even higher, my father always told me that no life in the world could ever compare to life in the "truth".
he said the peace and joy jw's experience in their lives is better than anything i could find out there in "satans world".
he also constantly threw out the statistic( as he is a bullshit artist) that witness marriages have less than a 5% divorce rate, as compared to 50% outside the "truth".
It was 5% when then 7%.. it has increased but nobody has found the new statistic. Also remember many people leave JWs due to their divorce so a more accurate stat would be the divorce rate of JWs and former JWs.

THe problem is this is a broken doctrine. THe wt does not know what to do with it. This doctrine gets them new converts and retains old ones. It has became the same as "all good people go to heaven" in the church except more liberal because absolutely evil people are allows a JW resurrection. For example Benito Musalini amd Adolf Hitler will be resurrected.
*** g89 10/8 p. 9 War?Coping With the Aftermath ***
All past victims of murderous war and violence, even the dead, will benefit from this war. (Psalm 72:4, 12-14; John 5:28, 29) Think of it?a restoration of the Paradise of peace that God originally purposed.
The problem is with earth people expect the laws of physics to remain the same. In heaven they assume no laws of physics.
bill hicks did a routine about the guys who attempted (one succeeded) and their parents who sued the band judas priest for supposed subliminal messages urging them to kill themselves.
he came up with the point, "why would you want to kill your audience?
they are who brings in the money!!!!!!
DA means you are a wordly person now, and gives no judgement. DF is excommunicating you from the church after they judged you. They are actually not the same thing. The actually don't ocommand you to shunn a DAed person they just imply you should. It is all a legal game. If more JWs were better edjucated then they would see most of this.

I know i dont argue with them about this because the wts covers its butt. It says they have no idea what the paradise will be like and that all descriptions are artist interpatations. But at the local hall if you deviate from any of those artist descriptions they try to embarass you.

Hello she had 38 tranfussions people!
Why is he sueing?
I know the whole blood issue. It went as planed. The WT got their PR time she got her blood. I think his problem is he is sueing because he figured out the scam about the blood issue. That it is more of a PR tool than a religious belief.

I wrote a short story about life in the NWO based on this.
It is actually easy to solve. Humans in this world are not allowed to die so even stavation won't kill you. God could have zero food in the new order and everyone walks around hungry. Also in extreme cases of stavation you stop wanting food. Everybody will look like those concentration camp suvivors. THere will popally be lots of wars considering you can't kill anyone. You can chop a guys head off and its still non lethal force. This place is like hell with out the fire, a purgatory planet for all creation. Considering the 144k are the only ones saved this makes perfect sense to me.
