  RULES & REGULATIONS

  The Watchtower—Study Edition | September 2022

  20 What an exciting time the Thousand Year Reign will be! It will include the greatest educational program ever undertaken here on earth. But it will also be a time when the conduct of both the righteous and the unrighteous will be evaluated. (Isa. 26:9; Acts 17:31) How will this educational program be carried out? Our next article will help us to understand and appreciate this wonderful provision.
  

  
  

  A new Watchtower article has a picture of newly resurrected brothers who will need to enroll in an educational program in the Thousand Year Reign. The two females and male in this class must of survived Armageddon and entered with the same clothes.

  How did the African brother get resurrected with clothes he wore while in his tomb? How did someone in Noah's day or even before come out of his tomb with pressed cloths that have no wrinkles or tears? Why are they even wearing old clothes? Won't there a clothing store in the New System to give these two resurrected brothers new slacks and shirts so they don't stand out?

  the Thousand Year Reign...It will include the greatest educational program ever undertaken... it will also be a time when the conduct of both the righteous and the unrighteous will be evaluated.

  They are out of their minds. It takes less than a minute to read the 10 commandments. The only reason they imagine a big educational program is so they can teach their thousands of additional pharisaical rules to an endless supply of numbskulls.
  
  The Millennial Reign will be characterized by the complete absence of self-righteous know-it-alls..... especially the stain of WT pharisees. These are the exact same kinds of people who murdered Jesus. I don't think he will be letting any of those kinds of folks in.
  
  Additionally, the WT fantasy of the "unrighteous" being resurrected during this time is ridiculous. Their resurrection is only one of damnation. No panda bears for the unrighteous.

  "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." - John 5

  The righteous and the unrighteous are resurrected at different times. The unrighteous dead are judged after the 1000 yr. reign. (The righteous dead are judged at the cross, along with with Jesus when "he became sin who knew no sin so we might be made the righteousness of God") The righteous dead only suffer a vicarious damnation. Jesus was cursed and damned in our place. He came to be our Scapegoat. That's why it is called The Substitutionary Atonement.

  The Final Judgment

  Rev. 20: 11 - And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

  The righteous dead are judged according the work of Christ on the cross. The unrighteous dead are judged according to their own works.

  No one survives the judgment at the GWT. That is why it is called a "judgment of damnation".

  No doubt the brother teaching is explaining that the feet of the Great image predicted Roman to Anglo-America Rule which ended in 1914 C.E. when the kingdom was established as evidenced by WWI Daniel 2:33, 41-43

  The bearded brother evidently is still being somewhat ostracized in the new system of things.

  a far cry from the log cabin structures of past wt paintings , grey, greige colour schemes, wall to ceiling glass sliding doors. skylights, probably all manufactured by wt 1000 year slave labour.

  all resurrected students? no meeting of may be marriage partners at meetings. ha ha.

  burn with passion or marry only for survivors. David's penchant for married woman doused permanently.

  Gawd Almighty. . .1,000 years of having to wear dress slacks and dress shirts for men, and calf length skirts and dress blouses for woman. No blues jeans or casual wear permitted in the WT new world! Damn me to Hell right now!

  Illustrations are just that. I remember one of an apparently naked woman having clothing being rushed to her. The clothing obstructed the view.

  The bigger problem is the misleading of the future. technology with no support

  the millenium will be a 2 + class system, with printed, or hand copied hardcopy for the masses, but plasma screens for the elite

  i'd like to see them explain the overlapping generation teaching to this group

  perhaps a screen grab from David Splane's chart and pointer picture escaped the censors and could be used as a "teaching tool"? easy math: 2x 100=200 - (2x20) overlaps, = 160 + 1914= ~ 2075

  A natural timing for that resurrected old timer in the class from the era when a generation (when men became fathers) was 120 years.

  Aren't we supposed to forget the past, where are the new scrolls? How many years into the new system? Where is all the destruction and bodies piled to bridle of horses? Maybe the "helpers" are teaching or there is no use for the elders? Since the baptism Q2 leaves out the holy spirit now, where are they getting this information, from Bro Russell, Rutherford, the GB1 & 2 that were taken? So confusing
