when i post someting that contains apostrophes they're not there after the posting.
what is the fix for this?
friday.
It's appropriate that you showed up here in this thread, Elsewhere. Actually, you've given the only sensible reply that's been posted amongst this thread of idiots. Thanks! (Now if I could only understand what you're talking about regarding all this "interface" stuff. )

of course i know that many of you here do not believe in the bible and its promise of a resurrection.
some of you do not even believe in a creator.
but those of you apostates that still do believe in a resurrection back to life, you would no doubt agree that not everyone of those who are resurrected will come back to life all at once.
Freedom96,
Two questions Friday.1. Are you counting time talking to everyone here?
2. With all the discussions and articles from the "faithfull and discreet slave" how on earth can you justify being on these web sites, letting alone commuicate with anyone here? Last time I checked that was a df'ing offense.
Listen, 96, that question has been wore out due to the numerous times that it has been asked. I just answered that very question here a couple of days ago. Where were you? Do you have such a small mind that that's the only thing you can spout off? It don't have a thing in the world to do with the subject at hand, so why don't you go run along and maybe beat your wife or something -- but please don't maltreat your puppy, okay?

Tammy, the SillyUglyDuckling:
I thought the Bible said something about how ALL those in the memorial tombs would hear his voice and come out. There is a mathematical formula well established for the speed of sound in normal atmospheric conditions. Are you telling me that scientific laws will cease to exist as we know them after the Big A? That some people in one part of a cemetary will hear his voice several hundred years faster than someone in another part of a cemetary?
What if, for example, I were to tell ALL those participating in this discussion that I will buy them a double-dip ice cream cone of their choice of flavor, but it took me several days or more to fulfill my promise. For Jesus to say that "all" would hear his voice doesn't have to mean that they would all come out of death at the same time. You see what I mean, SillyUglyDuckling? That's no doubt why I hereby dub you "SillyUglyDuckling".

Joseph,
My computer froze up while I was typing a response to you, causing me to have to reboot.
I do not see it. Can you prove this point first instead of taking it as a given? From what I am seeing in the texts, all resurrection will take place at the same time. If there is any delay then it is a minor one of no consequence.
I think what accounts for our difference in viewpoints here is the difference in the way we understand 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. You likely see the resurrection spoken of there as referring to all that are to be resurrected. I, on the other hand, see it as referring to only Christ's bride, and of course Christ's bride is not all that will be resurrected. Those that are not of Christ's bride, their resurrection will follow (but not immediately, for Christ's resurrected bride will join Jesus as he fights the battle of Armageddon), in an orderly fashion, all being taught righteousness under the reign of Jesus and his chosen bride.
There is no such thing as two resurrections or an early resurrection. The first resurrection is one of quality and justification not first in time.
That's sure a strange interpretation you have there. Revelation 20:5, 6 shows that those who will rule with Christ participate in what you agree is called "the first resurrection." Unless there is a resurrection that follows, it shouldn't be referred to as being the "first" one? Am I just being bullheaded? I don't really think so, particularly if people are due to be brought back to life needing to be educated in the ways of righteousness. To try imagining EVERYONE of those unlearned people being back on the scene simultaneously, needing education, etc. ... weeeell, to me it's much more reasonable that the resurrection of the multitudes start off slowly and then pick up momentum as there are more and more learned ones to help instruct more and more resurrected ones. As you can perhaps see, I believe that Jesus and his bride will educate the masses via people here on earth, in the way I described above. Jesus and his bride will merely oversee the operation to make sure that it all proceeds as it should.

Little Tex,
Lefty, are you one of Jehovah's Witnesses? If so, then you do not understand what your own religon teaches. On numerous occasions, they have stated that Adam and Eve will not be resurrected because they were perfect when they sinned, thus creating the need for a perfect man (Jesus) to be offered as a ransom in exchange.
For your information, Little Tex, I'm Friday aka Yadirf aka Lefty. And I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and have been since 1968. And, I do for a fact understand the WTS's viewpoint on this matter. But, have YOU ever read Daniel 11:35 ... with understanding?
I too believe in a resurrection. When it will happen, what form it will take and who will be resurrected does not matter to me. If God judges me worthy, I am thankful. Anything else related to the resurrection, I am content to leave in his hands.
Well, blow me down, maybe we should just go ahead and change your handle to "Unbothered". No wait, that wouldn't fly, because everytime I hear from you you're all lathered up and BOTHERED.
Can you be a little more condescending?
You're wish is my command, O Little Tex!

Onacruse,
PS: Please don't misunderstand my post as a slam on your thread. Your question just touched a nerve.
I understand the feeling, onacruse.
Also, compared to an eternity, a mere few hundreds of years will quickly "come out in the wash." Otherwise, we would have a perpetuation of a "classed" Society of "early rezzies" and "late rezzies."
There are a lot of terminally ill people today that would give absolutely everything they own in exchange for *a little more time*. Personally I would hope to get in on the early years of Christ's reign and all that will be going on after the transfer of earth's affairs out of the hands of Satan and into the hands of Jesus ... I don't want to miss out on ANY of those experiences if there's anyway I can prevent it.

Expatbrit,
My understanding of the WT teaching was that those who died near the end of the old system would be resurrected first, in order to recognise and help people from earlier generations. The rationale being that Jehovah is a God of order.
I'm really not aware of such thinking as you mention. Personally, I believe that God is going to reward the most faithful of his servants with the earliest of resurrections. Because of the advantage that Adam and Eve had, and yet proved foolish in spite of it, I believe they will be the very last two to come back.

Of course I know that many of you here do not believe in the Bible and its promise of a resurrection. Some of you do not even believe in a Creator. But those of you apostates that still do believe in a resurrection back to life, you would no doubt agree that not everyone of those who are resurrected will come back to life all at once. That means that someone will have to be first and someone will have to be last. Guess who those will be that will be at the rear of the line.
Remember, the resurrection could be in progress for centuries before it is completed. That means, of course, that those resurrected early will have an advance start of several hundred years over those coming back to life near the end of the resurrection period. Thus, to make the mistake of being one of those who will not be resurrected until near the end of that period -- all because of wanting to get the utmost out of this life now (perhaps a short-lived 70 years at that) and suffering spiritually because of it -- will have forfeited several hundred years of life, all said and done.
Now, is that a happy thought?

here are a few pics from this book.
it basically tells why jesus returned and what to expect.
the preface sums it up.

Well, yardgarbage, how long has it been now? Since by this time, you have not come up with the citation for Rutherford 'making an ass of himself' may we assume it never happened?No, you may not assume that it never happened. I remember reading it somewhere in a WT publication. Have you ever caught me lying? No, you haven't. Then you should be able to take my word for it.
