Yes....there are scriptures that say there will be a reserrection.....and there are scriptures that say there will be eternal life....but never does it say the righteous will be raised to an earth made into a paradise.
But, before now, I would have sworn on my life that there was.
The worse thing is...I told other people this lie too. I mean I really believed it and would have died defending this belief. Very scary.
Never knew it but....the Bible never once said in any scripture that there will be righteous people raised from the dead and put in a paradise earth. I took down the Knowledge book and looked every scripture and there was memorial tombs mentioned being opened and there is a scripture that talks about the meek inheriting the earth but there is not one scripture that spells it out......there will be a reserrection of good people to a perfect earth...probably very old news to some but shocked the sh@t out of me.

Ryals also said her bureau gave the Witnesses $6,000 in cash per weekend for the two largest weekends and $4,000 for a less-attended Hispanic weekend.
I bet this was never mentioned in the accounts report on Sunday. I wonder how often this happens and where the money goes?
i get that kind of feedback when i talk to dubs that i know .
how about your experiences.
do the jws you talk to really keep up with the tidal wave of wt doctrine changes?
Since John was still a man on earth when the elder spoke to him, John must represent anointed ones on earth. Thus, it seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.
1 Tim 3:5 : For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, a man Christ Jesus.
i'm quizzing all my sources for the ultimate "silver-bullet" question for a jw at your door.
the best questions will be used in a video series on watchtower comments.
the goal is to help people respond to jws.. the question must be direct and designed to open the jw mind, not necessarily to win an argument.. i would prefer to avoid doctrinal debate such as trinity, cross, even thiest/athiest subjects.
I have never had a satisfactory answer to this; If Adam was created perfect how come he made an imperfect decision in the Garden of Eden when he ate of the fruit ? Presumably his brain and thought process were of the utmost perfection.
They will tell you that God let him use his free will; he didn't make robots. But.......if Adam sinned then lived almost 1,000 yrs before he died.......he did not die a perfect man. So, why would Jesus a perfect man need to die to even the "score"?
Where in the Bible does it say the righteous would be resurrected to earth?
If earth was all one piece of land and it was the flood that made the divisions of continents....how did all the animals that were in the ark get scattered all over the earth?
does the bible teach that adam was a perfect human?
do any mainstream christian churches hold this teaching of human physical perfection?.
(i know that adam and eve is a myth, but bear with me for the purposes of discussion!
Terry.......you just blew my mind!! In a good way of course.
i was wondering the other night....if the universe is growing how does this explain creation?
if god has finished creating how can an expanding universe be explained?
do the dubs have any comment on this?

has the new watchtower arrangement been announced in the united kingdom yet?.
just wondering if my family are up with the 'new light' yet!.
This smells like downsizing to me. They are benefiting financialy under the disguise of "new light". Get the rank and file excited about "for your eyes only", the same ole bs from years ago, and save money too on printing GENIUS!
