does this quote mean that basically everyone will be resurected and then have another chance to learn about god during the 1000 year millennium?
included in the earthly resurrection will be (1) the faithful witnesses of jehovah who died before christ did, (2) the billions of other people who will be brought back in the "resurection of judgement" and (3) the people of good will who today take their stand on god's side but who through sickness, old age or another cause happen to die before armegeddon is fought.
it is thought that the earthly resurrection will be spread out over a period of time so that all these people after being resurected on earth can be taken care of in an orderly way, and without confusion.
Welcome to the forum!
Sadly, it's the exact reasoning mentioned here that makes suicide look attractive to a JW, or anyone that believes in a better afterlife. Even homicide. *shudder*
Yes, according to JW teaching even Adolph Hitler has a better chance for resurrection than an infant that is destroyed at armageddon.
How warped is that?

i always hated the shepherding call where they asked you to try and spend more time in field service, as they saw your hours turned in were low.
at a young age, i learned how easy it was to just write down what ever felt right.
i spent about 30 hours a month in field service as a pioneer for two years and never had anyone say anything to me.
Did you record your hours in field service correctly?
Yes, I believe in honesty, so I was honest when I entered all zeros on my reports during my last months as a JW.

for those who pioneered, how did you support yourselves?
did you struggle to pay household expenses, or live at home?
how did you get by without starving?
Learn How To Free-Load. Do It Well, and Do It Often.
The pioneers™ who freeloaded were the most successful. I regular pioneered™ for over two years, didn't freeload, and cleaned windows to support myself and my wife. It was often a struggle to make ends meet. I made good money cleaning windows, but often had cash flow problems due to the aging receivables.

what articles or scriptures do jw use to support their belief that they should not take a brother to court?.
jez
1 Cor. 6: 1-8
1 Does anyone of YOU that has a case against the other dare to go to court before unrighteous men, and not before the holy ones? 2 Or do YOU not know that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by YOU, are YOU unfit to try very trivial matters? 3 Do YOU not know that we shall judge angels? Why, then, not matters of this life? 4 If, then, YOU do have matters of this life to be tried, is it the men looked down upon in the congregation that YOU put in as judges? 5 I am speaking to move YOU to shame. Is it true that there is not one wise man among YOU that will be able to judge between his brothers, 6 but brother goes to court with brother, and that before unbelievers?7 Really, then, it means altogether a defeat for YOU that YOU are having lawsuits with one another. Why do YOU not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why do YOU not rather let yourselves be defrauded? 8 To the contrary, YOU wrong and defraud, and YOUR brothers at that.
The JWs use verse 7 primarily. I noticed that elders I spoke to didn't appreciate me referring to verses 2-4, which indicates to me that the brothers felt they had no other recourse but to use "worldly courts", as the elders were not doing their job.

anyone have any good natural cures or "remedies" for insomnia?
bethel.
reading watchtowers doesn't count
p.s. reading watchtowers doesn't count
This tells me you're not really interested in falling asleep, or you wouldn't immediately dismiss the most effective remedy.
I suspect what you're really looking for is a couple of hot apostobabes to come over to console you.

There are Freemasons infiltrating this board.
So what are the fringe benefits? Can I start my own cult? How do I sign up?

You really need to modernize your information on the WBTS. All things evolve. All things.
Especially Watchtower teachings. Nowhere else can you find teachings that evolve so quickly into something virtually unrecognizable from it's original form.

Then if a girl understandingly takes care of herself while the ovum is at large and is causing sex disturbance and cravings within her, she will be able to act like a true lady of irreproachable morals at all times.
What exactly are they saying here? That a girl can take care of her own sexual needs and this will make her a true lady of irreproachable morals? Sounds to me like masturbation's a good thing.

many years ago i remember suddenly how the bible study servant who was third in command got removed from his position, and was reproved for having a fling with his bible student who was much younger and very married too.
actually, her husband came in the hall while he was substuting as a watchtower conductor and i was reading and screamed all sorts of profanities to him all the while screaming that he was "f***king his wife"!
when the man told him, "i wanna talk to you", the elder said, "not now".
Incidentally, it was even more shocking to us since they were Gilead graduates.
Hahaha! See what "higher education" did for them?
The most scandalous thing I ever heard of was me turning into a demonized apostate bastard from hell. I wasn't there to see how the congregation reacted, but I'm told they're still telling stories about me and my demonic exploits. I really wish I could hear the stories. I'm sure they'd be much more interesting than the reality.
