A quote from someone on Y!A claiming to be a JW....
" ...if your not faithful but you didnt really get a chance to learn about it, you will also get resurected..."
Do you really believe this?

My point is, if that is true then STOP teaching people about it! That way we all get to be fancy with god's magiks!

Yes. Acts 24:15: "There is going to be a resurection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."

Yes, we believe the Bible.
The Holy Scriptures say that there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.
Every Body gets resurrected.
{Do not marvel at this, even Jesus was resurrected!}
With exceptions; like Judas.
Some have heard and refused to listen,
then that is Your Choice! Like Judas, it was his choice.
But, of course this is for Jehovah God to decide.
Why would God not give a person the chance to decide if he wants to serve Him;
live in the Kingdom of God.
If the person died b4 ever learning about the One True God.

Well wouldnt you then be neglecting the command in Matthew 24? To go therefore and make disciples of every types of ppl of all nation and language. So it goes hand in hand wouldnt you think. We got out there to reach the "meek ones" who want to learn more and need to learn more. Some ppl have gotten so much relief being preached to. And God looks at heart condition also not just if they got the message or not. Do you have the right heart condition?

Yeah, thats true. Think about it. How many people, live in place of the world that are completely out of touch with humanity? Alot.
A lot of these people go their whole life's without hearing about God or getting preached to, so if they die, they will get resurected in order to get the oppurtunity they never had.

Jesus gave the comforting assurance to mankind:
“The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have given heed will live. . . .
Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”—Joh 5:25-29.

Yes.
At John 5:28,29 it states there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.
If one died before the great day of Judgement, whose to say that they would not have come to an accurate knowledge if they hadn't died?
So a loving God like Jehovah allows them to get another chance at drawing close to him.

Yes but only Jehovah can really judge who can be resurrected and given another chance. There's nothing stupid about that.
...if one died unfaithfully but because he/she did not have the knowledge or the chance to prove his faithfulness to God, ....yes, sh/e have chance of resurrection.
..it is different when you know and REFUSED willingly....
but either way... it is between that individual and Jehovah.

They teach that all the Dead will come out of the graves for a second chance for salvation.....Not Biblical but it is what they teach....If you are not a JW when Armageddon comes, you will parish.

Not a JW, but are you saying there's something wrong with that? Judaism also says that nonJews will have a share in the World to Come . . .

Yes.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible to teach that nearly everyone in the grave will be resurrected to earthly life after Armageddon.
(John 11:21-25) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life.
(Isaiah 25:8) He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.
