i remember my boss asking me once this question, since he knew i was a witness.
he asked, "what resurrects, the body, the soul, what?.
he knew that witnesses believe in the resurrection of the dead on earth, in a different physical body during the millennium.. i told him that it won't be the same physical body, and maybe won't be identical, but it's the same person.
Alan F. (or anyone else that can answer this),
I don't really remember what JWs teach about Jesus' resurrection. Do they teach that he was truly resurrected or that a copy of him was recreated?
I never thought of this particular teaching of theirs until I saw this thread.
Happy Birthday, Blondie!! (And thank you for all your research, WT comments, etc.)

you lurkers.
the ones who read this board just to observe everything that's going on.
never say a word, except on very rare occasions.
Rosemarie,
I am one of those people that rarely post, but I come here and read frequently. Why?
Well, even in my "real" life, I am a sort of quiet person who finds it hard to jump into a group conversation. For some reason, I'm even a little intimated about posting.
I come here because I am DF'd (have been for quite a while) and I have never personally met a fellow exJW. No one but a fellow exJW can possibly understand the way if feels to have former friends shun you and all of the other garbage that goes with being DF'd.
I read the posts here and I cry, laugh, and get angry right along with the poster. Reading the posts from all of you wonderful (mostly) people from all backgrounds has helped me heal and given me strength at times.
So, without any of you knowing it, most of you have a special place in my heart.
Marianne
P.S. I agree with you about Hamas!

Most likely, it will be George W. Bush (unfortunely).
