Carmen Erwin got a reaction from Rosalie Barry in Man wearing a JW.org pin at a San Diego, CA Convention
Great thing for so many if those afraid to ask a person about the truth of the bible and the truth about Jehovahs people and there purpose in the door to door ministry. It's amazing how many questions people have but are afraid to ask because of obligation and risk of argument. Take that away and there thoughts about things really pour out of them. It's one of the ways I approach people. With good results. Not always ready to be one of gods true worshippers but leaving with a different thought and view. Made my own badge holder and plan on wearing it all next weekend at the convention . Even glued some of the qr codes I picked out of some old watchtowers on the back just in case I meet someone interested ☺️ Cost me about 20 cents to make

Carmen Erwin got a reaction from SuzA in JW.org Symbol
Personally I would never grab my jw.org button and pray to Jehovah with it. I would never wear it as a symbol of the Christ . I would not hang it in my house or in my car for a form of protection. And I would only direct ones to it as a teaching tool that leads them to their bibles and the truth Jesus taught according to jehovahs direction. These are the last days and Jehovah is trying to reach every searching soul. Disciples of truth. Just my two scents?

Carmen Erwin reacted to Melinda Mills in Resurrection during the thousand year reign?
Those in the general resurrection as well as Armageddon survivors who are obedient during the 1000 years will come to life toward the end of the thousand years as the priestly services of Jesus and the 144,000 priest-kings will be applied to them. They will be gradually healed of their imperfection or restored to the perfection the human race had before Adam sinned (rehabilitation). It doesn't mean they are now being resurrected (out of the grave) at the end of the 1000-year reign. It means they have been rehabilitated for that period through the priestly services of the King and his associates and they have now reached the state of perfection. Just as Adam faced the test in the garden of Eden as a perfect person, they will now face the final test and Satan will be let out of the abyss to do so. Those who submit to Jehovah's sovereignty, unlike Adam, will be granted eternal life. See excerpt below.
*** re chap. 40 p. 290 Crushing the Serpent’s Head ***The Rest of the Dead
14 Whom, though, will these kings judge if, as the apostle John here inserts, “(the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended)”? (Revelation 20:5a) Again, the expression “come to life” has to be understood according to context. This expression can have varying meanings in varying circumstances. For example, Paul said of his anointed fellow Christians: “It is you God made alive though you were dead in your trespasses and sins.” (Ephesians 2:1) Yes, spirit-anointed Christians were “made alive,” even in the first century, being declared righteous on the basis of their faith in Jesus’ sacrifice.—Romans 3:23, 24.
15 Similarly, pre-Christian witnesses of Jehovah were declared righteous as to friendship with God; and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were spoken of as “living” even though they were physically dead. (Matthew 22:31, 32; James 2:21, 23) However, they and all others who are resurrected, as well as the great crowd of faithful other sheep who survive Armageddon and any children that may be born to these in the new world, must yet be raised to human perfection. This will be accomplished by Christ and his associate kings and priests during the thousand-year Judgment Day, on the basis of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice. By the end of that Day, “the rest of the dead” will have “come to life” in the sense that they will be perfect humans. As we shall see, they must then pass a final test, but they will face that test as perfected humans. When they pass the test, God will declare them worthy of living forever, righteous in the fullest sense. They will experience the complete fulfillment of the promise: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) What a delightful future is in store for obedient mankind!

Carmen Erwin reacted to Shiwiii in Resurrection during the thousand year reign?
Rev 20:13 says otherwise.
from the context in verse 4, it is that of coming back to life from being dead, and the context doesn't change into verse 5.
