ok, this probably applies to most faith systems that believe in any sort of afterlife, but i would like to know what sort of explanation the jw's would come up with for this little problem, you know, after armageddon on earthly paradise.
sorry if i sound dumb, but it's been nagging at me for a few weeks and have to ask.. so, what if a young married jw couple are living their life, waiting for the big a, knowing they will be together in the earthly paradise, then very sadly one of them dies.
from what i know, if a jw dies, that's it.
JB: "The resurrected are like angles they do not marry.
It's a bible Jesus thing not a JW rule.
Jws that are resurrected to heaven do marry-- in the " the marriage of the lamb". Marriage after Armageddon was our big defense; whenever a not to subtle, unsolicited proposal came our way, the comment was : We belong to AA a-- after Armageddon, anonymous , anno circa 1958. wt teaching had it, you had it, even then you would have to wait a thousand years to have a really perfect husband.PS: that line also confirmed your firm wt belief that the end was near, no resurrection no show at the altar envisioned.

Miss worldly, you would miss being worldly as a jw, but when this question is asked, I always refer to the male breast. it is a perfect example of structure without function and would illustrate what could happen to those resurrected . I never had any drive to nurse a baby. now, many couples are real soul mates, particularly later in life, but marriage , sex-based is particularly good for the kids. so, there is yet to have demonstrated to us any resurrection, talking snakes and any other wt ideas. so, until we will see any of these dysfunctional breasts above a non-navel, find more worthy subjects to pursue.
hi guys , i know i was never a favorite here and haven't posted in awhile ... question .
what do you think of the new understanding of , " this generation " they seem to go in circles on this one big time , once 1914 generation was almost gone they said they didn't know what it meant and now in the new publication the generation includes the second generation after 1914 .... i agree they don't know what they are talking about and this is just another control move .
any comments ?.
and since pentecost christians are " transplanted into the KINGDOM OF THE SON--", not the one of 1914, colossians 1: 13.
i realize that the anointed class inherits heaven while the great crowd inherits a renewed planet earth, but how and when are the anointed chosen?
are these people born with spirits or do they grow them as they live?
when they die, they don't sleep but go right to heaven, right?
they do not have spirits but souls, Rev. 20. if there is anything to organic eternal life, it would have to be transported to a better place, the earth is going to be gone in only 5 billion years. So: find another smaller and younger star with a goldilocks place and hunker down there.
yes my holy anionted mom who has cancer is concerned that the loving god jehovah may ask her in heaven to destroy here non believer family including her 5 year old grandchild during armagedon....how messed up are these crazy people!!?

Here is a reference from 2014: found it while browsing during the study: God's kingdom rules! book page 228, paragraph 16: " how does this gathering [ rapture]of the anointed remnant relate to -- armageddon--"--144 000 co rulers with Christ will receive authority to share with Jesus in wielding an iron rod of destruction against all enemies of God's Kingdom. -- sorry I cant link.
confirmed. the anointed generation will have passed away, when all these things occur.
i raised an issue with a co once about an elders qualifications, he visited my house and in no uncertain terms said don't touch ark of covenant ( referring to elder as ark ) , i was gob smacked then he said to wife and i that if we pursued such an avenue we could be grieving gods holy spirit.
so ther you go elder are on par with god ..
Uzzah failed in his duties to inform David how the ark was to be moved. The fact that he thrust out his hand tells me there was a lot more going on
Yea, think of Bathsheba's husband, he tried to show David a thing or two about soldiers abstinence from sex while their unit is on duty, and see what happened to him.
Try to tell the Governing body where they are wrong, as they inevitably are,will prove to be, and see what will happen to you. Or show the glorious ones , aka local elders for that matter. They all believe in the badly sprung, inflexible cart,

m210: "anyone has a link to where this got announced
The idea of anointed resurrected warriors is old , loosely based on Romans 16:20 "--will crush satan under your feet shortly--" shortling
That is the basis for having the anointed to die before Armageddon, to have them first in the heavenly fight, then get ready for the heavenly wedding.--- and in their haste to dream this up, wt writers overlooked the fact that jesus said that the generation would not pass away [to heaven] until all the predicted things occur. They did not in the -first-, first century fulfillment.

Jesus, the anointed : "let the dead bury their dead" they were already dead in his eyes, and he taught his followers well. boanerges, sons of Thor?

The searcher: "recent Watchtower propaganda which stated that all "anointed" J.W.'s on earth will be evaporated up to heaven before Armageddon starts - in order for them to have a share in the mega-slaughter with Christ.
we can be assured it will never happen because jesus said in other words, that the generation will survive, not pass away , not be evaporated before Armageddon.*** But while I am sorry for the cancer fate, another partaking lady I knew well, was of the same mindset. hateful against all, she would have made a fearless, cruel immortal warrior, if the story were true. Commenting on the funeral of her late divorced husband, with her anointed authority she proclaimed: "He had is Armageddon" assigning him de facto to "gehenna". ha.
*** that is where wt proofreaders slipped up, they are contradicting the jesus story. The generation can not the evaporating anointed.
