What about JW's New World Order Politics?

While Witnesses don't accept participating in "the world's" politics, how do they think the "new world order" will develop?

Do you anticipate a bunch of angels to materialize or deceased members be resurrected, to help out the day-to-day differences of people? People do change and not everyone in the second (and futher) generations to look up to Jehovah in the same way as you will.

The 144,000 who'll serve as "judges" aren't suppose come to earth, from what I remember. Or do you think they'll become dual-reigning entities who will come to earth as immortals and be able to go to heaven at will?

As you can tell, there are many ways to formulate how this can happen. I'd like to read how different witnesses perceive their expected 1000-year-rule to be like.

And what about money and your future's economy? (let's leave that for another question. - go here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201210...

    I gave this question a star in the hopes that one of my contacts will see it and offer a good answer. As of now, only one other person has offered an answer to this question. He has offered a link for consideration. I have read it, in fact, just finished it. There may come a time when I'll actually scan it but since scanning is so time-consuming I will not be doing it tonight. However, I will have to say that if that link actually offers you the answer for which you are asking, then I have totally misunderstood the question. Had there been no other answers at all, my answer would have gone something such as this:

    This is not at all to be taken as any kind of a put down. While the expression "being handed (insert your choice) on a silver platter" can be taken negatively, if God is the giver than I think that that expression is very apropos. That said, it is my viewpoint that the typical Christian viewpoint, no matter if it is Catholic or Baptist or Presbyterian or Jehovah's Witness, is that God is going to hand over on a silver platter His Kingdom on Earth to the deserving Christians. As a Baha'i, my viewpoint is that God's Kingdom on Earth is a do-it-yourself project and through Baha'u'llah, God has given us both the guidelines and the motivation. Of course, I think that everyone should be motivated to help build world peace and get rid of all of our social problems, but not everyone believes that God has already given us the guidelines, the blueprints to make it happen. As a Baha'i, I am very thankful that Christians are praying, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Prayers are always welcome, and Baha'is are praying as well. But instead of waiting for that silver platter to appear, Baha'is are building God's Kingdom on Earth.

    While no mere human can predict the future, it is my belief that the reality of the future will be much like the Baha'i vision for the future, even if by some chance the Baha'is are wrong and God does just hand it to us. For a glimpse of that future world, click on the following link. That will take you to a now out of print magazine called The Baha'is. There is a newer, somewhat different and updated edition which I believe is still being printed and available from your local Baha'i community. Personally, I think it is worth reading both of them. In particular, you may find the section called "A System for Global Governance" in the online version of special interest.

    i think of what you're relating is the fact that if Iraq is "freed" from the government that for the period of consequence prohibited JW's message from achieving them that Jehovah used the U. S. to "open the door" for the message to be unfold there. i'm a former JW. i'm no longer one now. So, no, i do no longer unavoidably think of that it truly is real. yet i comprehend why you're asking i do no longer think of it would be unreasonable for a JW to have faith that God used a mundane government to end his purpose so as that the "good information" may be preached there. Like I pronounced, this isn't any longer my own concept yet i comprehend the place you're coming from.
