Will they remain dead or will they experience a collective spiritual resurrection, due to the fact that they sometimes hear Jesus words, that again can resurrect the spiritually dead?
As the Scribes and Pharisees, Jehovah's Witnesses are spiritually dead.

The old Hebrews came back a few times, but we see how well that went...

Like Nicodemus the Pharisee, the Jehovah's Witnesses have to be spiritually born again.

The Jews thought that since they were "chosen" by God, this gave them a privilege, and that it could not be taken from them. But being chosen brought responsibilities, which they failed to carry out. So their position was taken from them.
The GB thinks it has been "chosen".

As the Scribes and Pharisees, Jehovah's Witnesses do not understand the words of Jesus Christ.
They are looking at Him through old testament glasses and cannot recognize Him or His kingdom.
They want a great warrior !

Just as Ted Jaracz said, when coming off the podium unsuspectingly to a Tv crew. "We do not go beyond the written word." Neither did the scribes or the pharisees.
Witnesses have always concerned themselves with the letter of the law, rather than the spirit of the law. And what else could one expect from an organization, composed of folks who pay more attention to the old testament and whose heirarchy consists of heartless lawyers that serve the governing body. Can't you just feel the warmth compassion and mercy.
I'm suprized they're not stoning people, but the shunning, that Rutherford learned from Stalins purges, to hold on to power, come pretty effin close to burying you alive.

The Law and the Spirit by Paul
"But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law
so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of
the written code.""He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter
but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.""Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?"
"If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law."
"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit."
Jehovah's Witnesses as the Scribes and Pharisees have to be born of this Spirit to come alive! They are utterly dead.
