Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice John 5;28 and the bible is inspired of God and non of the promises will fail to come true.
(Titus 1:2) upon the basis of a hope of the everlasting life which God, who cannot lie, promised before times long lasting,

Hi All--

I'm not stopping in to get involved in a big debate regarding this issue, firstly because I got some things I gotta do, but also because I see no reason to worry either way. I just wanted to throw this out there for consideration in case someone wants to consider it.

When I said I agreed with Mark, what I meant was I agree that there are many theories out there. Even in traditional Christian thought, some of these seem to conflict with one another. But I'd say whether I sleep or whether I am in a paradise of activity the minute I leave this existence as I know it now doesn't really matter to me. I just believe the spirit goes on.

I just wanted to say that.

InPeace,
InLove

In response to the first question, according to Jehova witnesses we don't 'hang around' as you put it, instead we 'fall asleep' until that day. So technically we enter judgment as soon as we die. you know sometimes when you sleep for hours and don't temporarily wake up now and again you never really know for how long you were sleeping. Hence thousands of years can feel like a second.
